Water Reclamation System

Advantages/Features The Hanna Reclaim II wash water reprocessing system allows for the recovery of 85% of the wash water. Hanna's Reclaim II not only conserves water, it also lowers your water and chemical cost. Washwater and chemicals are pumped from the reclaim tanks and sent through the Reclaim II system before delivery back to the car wash. The system features a centrifugal pump, a galvanized barrel screen, a prime tank and a NPT hydro-cyclone filter. Pump sizes range from 3 to 15 hp depending on your water volume requirements.

By installing a state-of-the-art water reclamation system, we estimate that we will save more than 35 gallons of fresh water per vehicle.

DAY & NITE Solar Lite™ GREEN LIGHTING System

In terms of Energy Savings, this facility will be one of a select few within the State of Maine for Daylight Energy Savings. Portions of the facility will be outfitted with a Daylight Solar Lighting system to reduce peak electrical demand loads by more than 50% and potentially reducing the operating electric bill by as much as 20%.

DAY & NITE Solar Lite™ is an industrial GREEN LIGHTING system that uses Mother Nature's abundant daylight, not sunlight, to turn off your existing lights. Not a skylight, a DAYLITE SOLAR LITE™ uses a lens technology that provides outstanding light distribution without heat gain or loss, on a custom built lightwell for your facility.

We then integrate the DAYLITE SOLAR LITE™ with our SOLAR NITE LITE™ system. The GREEN light fixture is dimmable, energy efficient, color balanced system that uses less than half of the energy of HID lights, with better light!

BOTTOM LINE, IT DOES NOT GET ANY MORE EFFICIENT THAN OFF! The impact on lighting costs is dramatic! The goal is to reduce costs and improve the working condition, morale and safety at Sudzie Autowash, Inc.
