Steam Bay
The Steam Bay Is A Non-Discharging, Closed-Loop Recycle System. Equipment To Be Washed Is Brought Onto The Wash Pad, Which Is Part Of Building 1. A Pressure Washer Is Used To Remove Dirt And Grease From The Equipment.

A Sump Pump In The Biological Recycling System Pulls The Water From The Oil/Water Separator And Into The Biological Recycling System, Where Biological Media Packs Provide A Surface For Microbes To Live On. As Water Passes Through The Biological Media, The Microbes Break Down The Organic Compounds In The Wastewater, Producing Treated Effluent That Is Reused In The Pressure Washer.
