Just received the following information from Parker West:
Thank you for your interest in the Parker West Systems.
We have two standard units available:
A Driving Pressure Washing/Vacuum Recovery Unit (propane or gas driven) with a conventional multi stage mechanical filtration (oil/water separator) and 4 engines to run the vacuum generator and 2 boilers/heater - 4,000 psi up to 12gpm, 200 degrees w/2-21" vacuum surface cleaners and 12' VacuBerm
$75,000.00 + cost of a second trailer to transport driving mechanism
A Driving Unit/Vacuum Recovery System with our patented Clay Floc Treatment System with a vortex heating unit, 2 engines - 4,000 psi up to 12gpm, 240 degrees w/2-21"vacuum surface cleaners and 12'VacumBerm
$115,000.00 + cost of second trailer to transport driving mechanism
The primary differences between the two systems are:
The Clay floc system allows the use of soaps and degreasers. Oil/Water separators will fail if you use soaps or degreasers, causing the contaminants to go into solution
Clay floc is a one step batch treatment system that also removes metals, which keeps all the equipment polished with each use. Oil/Water separators do not remove metals. Trace metals can wreck havoc with your equipment, particularly if you are recycling and reusing the wastewater. With each reuse the concentrations of the metals increase and could reach hazardous levels. Also, if you are trying to meet EPA standards, your local regulators may require that you remove the metals to meet their sewer discharge standards
The Clay Floc System has 3 recovery tanks, which enables you to recycle and reuse the wastewater all day, reducing fresh water consumption by 70%. Also the driver does not have to stop and process the wastewater, which increases productivity by 20%. Oil Water separators requires more time to process and manage the wastewater, because you will be stopping frequently to clean and change out filters
The Clay Floc System has a built in inline filter, which reduces pump out failure
The Clay Floc System utilizes a heat exchange system, rather than two conventional heaters or boilers, reducing fuel costs by 40% (saves approx. $1,000/month) and it reduces C02 emissions by 75%, which is particularly important if you are working inside enclosed parking structures or need to meet OSHA air quality control standards
The Clay Floc wastewater treatment is a one step batch treatment system. The equipment has only one moving part, the mixer motor, very low maintenance
The Clay Floc System uses a vortex heating system, which allows the use of optional carpet/upholstery cleaning attachments increasing the diversity of the services you can offer.
The Clay Floc System renders a non leachable, non hazardous solid waste, significantly reducing disposal costs and liability.
The Driving Mechanism enables you to clean up to 10,000 square feet per hour. Two conventional walk behind vacuum surface cleaners will clean up to 2,000 square feet per hour, each.
Forgot to mention that the systems have a 700cfm vacuum recovery system which allows you to collect the wastewater 16 floors up from the ground floor or 600 ft. from the trailer.
