Truck, Bus, and Heavy Equipment Wash Bay

Heavy Vehicle Wash Has Higher Contaminant Load

Truck, bus, and heavy equipment wash bays carry a much higher hydrocarbon and solids load than passenger vehicle car washes: diesel fuel residue from refuelling spills, hydraulic fluid from equipment leaks, mud and grit from construction site work, road salt from winter operations, and brake dust accumulated over high mileage routes. The treatment train must handle this higher load without losing reuse water quality.

Oversized CPI and Robust Coalescer

The SorbiTech truck wash recycling skid uses an oversized CPI separator with a longer plate pack and a larger sludge hopper to handle the higher solids load. The downstream coalescer carries a high solids tolerant pre filter; the carbon polishing bed delivers reuse quality water to the next wash. Backwash frequency is higher than for car wash sites, typically weekly versus monthly.

Wash Bay Drainage and Skid Integration

Heavy vehicle wash bays often use open trench drainage to handle the high volume runoff. The recycling skid takes the trench discharge through a coarse screen and a grit chamber before the CPI. Installation is integrated with the wash bay civil work; SorbiTech handles the complete project where the contract scope includes the wash bay construction.

Sector and Service

Fleet operators (trucking, bus, freight, construction equipment), municipal vehicle depots, military vehicle maintenance bases, agricultural equipment service centres. The SorbiTech service contract handles the spare parts inventory and the scheduled element changeouts. Sector coverage is vehicle services and transport.
