Off Grid Self Supporting Clear Water Wash & Rinse Facility. Solar + Wind + Storage yields Stand Alone System. No Connection to power and NO connection to water.
|
 Small footprint of system and no restriction on the installation layout makes this the simplest rinse/wash rack system to install.  The closed loop rinse facility is identical to the system that so many facilities worldwide have been using with great success for corrosion control rinses, PM cleaning, and general washing.
Riveer Environmental has been building wash rack systems for military use for over a decade. The largest hurdle to getting a system up and running has become the connection to utilities and the connection to sewer.
Water Conservation: Careful management of water in remote operations has become a daily concern when the water quality is poor and supply is costly and inconvenient.
Power Conservation: In new installations power is frequently supplied by generator burning fuel, increasing maintenance, and requiring consistent operator attention.
Flexibility of Location: Utilities require the rinse facility to be located where the power and water are, not always where the equipment is.
Green Initiative: Being efficient with resources has become mandate in virtually all environments: Saving water, electricity, and fuel in one system is a triumph of design efficiency.
Features Include:
- Any size wash rack, 125’L x 50’W is the current largest in use
- Higher capacity solar and wind are available.
- Standby diesel generator with automatic start can be incorporated in power container
- Grid Tie Back‐up can be incorporated for seasonal use in very cloudy windless areas
- Significantly larger wind turbine can be supplied if wind only power is required
- Significantly larger solar array can be supplied for very sun rich areas
What is included in a Clear Water Rinse Wash Rack:
- 20’ x 42’ wash pad with overspray containment
- Hot water pressure washer with hose on reel
- Low pressure high flow water cannon pump for fast dust and contaminant removal
- Water Recovery System with scavenging pump for 100% recovery using proven technology from Riveer Environmental
- Water Processing System in stainless steel to prepare water for re‐use with the tried and tested CyclonatorIII system
- Water Storage to hold rinse water ready for re‐use
Solar Power Generation System
- 2.4 kW Solar Array with smart controller and adjustable angle mounting system for latitude adjustment.
- Solar array can produce enough power in 7 hours of sunlight per week to maintain system readiness indefinitely.
- Solar array is designed to maintain power to system when operating with 6 hours of sunlight per/day.
- Operator need not make any operational concessions for solar panels
- Expected life is 25 years at 80% output
Wind Generation System
- 4.8 kW wind generator system will supply enough power in 16 MPH winds to maintain system and power all components simultaneously.
- Vertically oriented wind generator array captures wind from any direction
- Low 35’ overall height makes system low profile and will not affect air traffic
- Self regulating 60 Hz. Power output at 220V is completely automatic and fully regulated
Electrical Storage System
- Simple lead acid technology will store enough energy to carry system through windless cloudy periods
- Sufficient reserve capacity in system will allow wash operations at night in still air
- No user intervention in charging or storage system is required
- Very high amp charging rate across multiple cells allows power block to accept virtually all the power from wind and sun if needed
- Tried and true solution to power storage comes from decades of use in traction motor applications
Heat Energy Storage System
- Hot water washing without burning fossil fuels is efficient and requires only sunlight during the day for 24 hour heat availability
- Heat exchanger design has massive heat sink capacity with reserves of energy for long operational duration
- Heat exchanger uses the power of sunlight to create 160 degree wash water
- Sunlight power is harnessed by vacuum tubes on roof of container, wasted space is converted to energy absorbing heat sink
- Tubes are effective in sub‐zero conditions, if there is sunlight they work
From truck to operational system in a day.
- Deployable system can have wash facilities running in a day from un‐loading
- Ships from manufacturer in 4 ISO containers or 2 ISO containers and a flat bed truck (CONUS)
- Can be installed on any reasonably hard surface including compacted gravel, asphalt, concrete, or leveled compacted dirt
- Needs only initial 1200 gallons of water for start‐up
The ideal site:
- No shadow from buildings, trees, or other structures
- No wind shadow from building up wind from wind turbines
- Sunlight for 6 hours on average per day
