January 11, 2008—Waste Crete Systems, LLC has introduced the patent-pending EnviroWash concrete washout system.
The EnviroWash system exceeds current EPA “best practice” standards for water contamination from concrete truck washouts and is the only concrete washout solution that prevents nearly 90% of rainwater and groundwater contamination from concrete wastewater throughout the building process with patent pending closed-loop concrete wastewater recycling, treatment and handling technology, according to the company.
Here’s how it works: Once removed, all concrete wastewater is treated and reintroduced back into the EnviroWash unit, which is then used to clean concrete equipment over and over again. This process allows companies to reduce the liabilities and expenses associated with onsite concrete wastewater handling while reducing the amount of water used to rinse off concrete equipment ready-mix trucks and concrete pump trucks at construction job sites, after they have emptied their concrete loads.
Based in Houston, Texas, Waste Crete Systems is the inventor of the EnviroWash concrete wastewater filtering and removal system. For more information, see the Web site.
