Why Does Reclaim Water Stink?

Introduction
BioTech Solutions is revolutionizing the car wash industry by introducing a highly effective, biologically driven / nanobubble-enhanced water treatment system. Our approach transforms reclaim water into a high-quality resource that reduces environmental impact, saves on chemical and water costs, and delivers a superior wash water experience.

The process begins with standard mechanical filtration to remove heavy solids, debris, and grit from recovered wash water. This step prepares the water for advanced treatment and prevents clogging in downstream equipment.

BioTech Solutions’ proprietary microbial formulations include:

• Reclaim Defender Bio SludgeBane : Target hydrocarbon and surfactant breakdown.
• Reclaim Defender Bio Vorax: Manage foam and microbial diversity.
• Reclaim Defender Bio-SulfurShield: Powder conditioner for rapid odor removal, pH balance and de-oxidation of reclaim water.
• Reclaim Defender Bio-CitricClean: Eliminates Odor while reducing hydrocarbon and silicon oils in Reclaim water. Excellent water conditioner leaves reclaim water with Citric Fragrance, cleans deadheads and holding tanks tank performance.

Microbes combined with CRS "Shaft Technologies", increased  treatment efficiency and sustainability is rapidly obtained .

BioTech Solutions integrates CRS technology for enhanced oxidation and water conditioning:

• Hydrodynamic Cavitation breaks down emulsified oils, waxes, and sludge while promoting degassing and solids disintegration.
• Passive Electro-Ionization increases nanobubble stability, improves oxidation potential, and enhances gas retention in water.
• Pressure Collapse Effects act like a liquid scrubber, reducing biofilm and buildup in reclaim tanks.
• Increased DO and ORP create an environment ideal for aerobic microbial metabolism and prevent odors associated with anaerobic conditions.
• Low-Micron Emulsification boosts separation of waxes and hydrophobic residues.

This stage ensures oxidative breakdown and prepares the water for microbial and enzyme additive synergy.

  Treated water may be reused in:

• Reclaim Tank Circulation for improved water clarity and separation of heavy particles in separator tanks tank systems
• Reclaim Water functions, reduces filming on vehicle caused by chemical and organic materials in reclaim water.
• Inline Nanobubble Generator improves water quality of reclaim processor. reduces odor and improves water hydrophobicity for improved dispersion and rinsing
• High Pressure Rinse, Wrap Lube and Chemical Mix water reduce domestic water use, due to enhanced dispersion chemical usage is reduced, water spotting and rinsing enhanced due to hydrophobicity of wash water. 

Post-CRS and microbial inoculation, water may be routed to a bioreactor system:

• Blended with RO Concentrate and BioTech Solutions’ microbial products.
• Reduces Turbidity, Foaming, and Odor through enhanced digestion.
• Enhances Nanobubble Productivity through a process called dispersion which improves water softness, lowers water turbidity reducing suspended solids in the water.
• Improved Oxygen levels rise above ambient oxygen levels due to super saturation  of nanobubbles causing a increase in oxidation. 

This controlled environment supports peak biological activity.

   Real-time controls ensure performance:

• Monitors for ORP, DO, and pH
• Venturi oxygen injection and relay-based dosing controls
• Auto dosing of biologicals
• Computer aided dosing controls, corrects problems before they occur
• Optional smart automation for predictive maintenance

   Treatment of Recovered Wash Water is benefited by improved results and enhanced customer experience through the removal of odors and septic water conditions. this is accomplished by:

• Aggressive Oxidative Treatment with CRS
• Effective Odor Control in low DO environments (<3 mg/L)
• Reduces Polymer and Wax Residue in wash water
• Compatible with All Reclaim Systems
• Supports and Extends Microbial Colony Lifespan
