Kelsan designs and installs custom wash water treatment systems that clean, reclaim, and responsibly discharge contaminated wash water—giving your operation a safer, more efficient, and more compliant way to work.
For over 75 years, Kelsan has helped facilities across the Southeast run cleaner, safer, and more efficiently. That same commitment now extends to one of the toughest challenges in facility maintenance: managing wash water.
Client Case Study
A heavy equipment earthmoving company was operating an active wash pad that had fallen out of environmental compliance due to unmanaged wash pad water runoff. Our team came onsite to review the existing wash pad, observe daily wash habits, and evaluate how water, oils, and solids were being handled across their operation. From that assessment, we designed a custom wash water recycling system built specifically around their equipment size, wash volume, and site layout.
The completed system captures all wash pad runoff, separates oils and heavy solids, and treats the water using a combination of mechanical and chemical filtration. The recycled water can now be reused through their pressure washing equipment or safely discharged to the sanitary sewer — all while meeting compliance requirements. The company is now back in compliance and able to wash equipment confidently without concerns around environmental violations or water usage.
Turn a waste stream into a resource.
Kelsan’s reuse systems clean and reclaim wash water so it can be reused in your process—reducing operating costs, minimizing freshwater consumption, and supporting environmental goals.
