Landa upgrades new recycling model of wash-water bioremediation systems
Among the modifications, the recycling model--WSR-1000D--now features a consolidated control center that makes the system even more self-contained and especially convenient to install.
The single-cabinet control center is the heart of the system, bringing together the Corona Discharge ozone generator, ozone pump, air pump, hose connection panel, transfer pump and a timer-controlled pump for dispensing Landa's microbial solution.
The WSR-1000D is unique in the WaterStax line due to its four-tank configuration and the high capacity Corona Discharge (CD) ozone generator. The other two models of WaterStax systems treat the water so that it can be discharged to the sanitary sewer or even used as golf course irrigation water.
Golf courses, landscape management companies, and turf maintenance firms are coming under increased EPA scrutiny because of the oily water runoff from washing mowers and other grounds equipment laden with herbicides, insecticides and pesticides (HIP's).
The WaterStax uses gram-positive, non-pathogenic and non-toxic bacteria, which have proven to be very effective in "eating" the oil, grease, hydrocarbons, and even HIP's in the typical turf or golf course waste stream.
The WaterStax line is part of a larger selection of Landa's Water Maze wash-water treatment systems utilizing a variety of environmental technologies, from filtration, ozonation, and flocculation to evaporation, clay treatment, and now bioremediation.
In addition to the 1,600-gallon volume in the processing tanks--made of durable, cross-linked, high-density polyethylene--the WaterStax features:
-- a grass cart and stainless steel hydroscreen for automatic removal of grass;
-- specially designed layers of biological filters for enhancing the growth and effectiveness of the bacteria;
-- valve for easy removal of sludge and cleaning out the system;
-- Nema 4 fiberglass control enclosure for protection of electrical components from water vapor damage;
-- air pump for aerating the wastewater to enhance bacteria growth;
-- polishing tank for treating water with ozone from a corona discharge ozone generator plus a pump for transferring the water to the point of use; and
-- automated pumps for controlling the use of BioStax 900, the proprietary solution of microbes that breaks the waste into harmless substances consisting mainly of carbon dioxide and water.
The WaterStax models process wash water at a rate of 1,500 gallons per day with peak flow capacity at up to 15 gallons per minute, well within the range needed for a typical wash operation. Most pressure washers use only 3- to 5-gallons per minute of water.
Landa, with corporate and manufacturing headquarters in Camas, Wash., just north of Portland, Oregon, has earned the internationally recognized ISO 9001 quality certification and was the first manufacturer in America to certify its entire product line to the UL safety standards.
