Water Recycling

MobyDick’s water recycling is based on simple sedimentation in optimally dimensioned recycling tanks. The tanks can be selected from our wide range of products, or built in site-mixed concrete. When selecting the tanks, special attention must be paid to the planned sludge removal. The higher the dirt accumulation and the more fine-grained the material, the longer the sedimentation process takes. The tanks must consequently be dimensioned more generously. The dimensioning of the water recycling can be calculated using the following table and formula.

Formula for dimensioning the water recycling using the water calculation table below. The divisor 8.5 is based on the experience gained from over 4,000 wheel washing systems.

Degree of soiling × cohesion × HGV per hour ÷ 8.5 = volume in m3

Recycling Tanks
Moby-Dick recycling tanks are available in various sizes and shapes. They can be combined at will. Based on the specific requirements, FRUTIGER develops recycling concepts together with the customer to optimize the volume and mud removal to their wheel washing system.
