Proper use
The system cleans waste water and pro-

units (portal cleaning units, washing
streets, etc.). The recycled water can only
be used for cleaning programmes (for e.g.
preliminary washing, high pressure clean-
ing, brush cleaning). Recycled water is not
suitable for use as rinsing water or for ap-
plying drying aid or some other such pur-
pose.
Cleaning is done by:
Separating heavy parts that easily set-
-
tle down in the gravel filter.
Destruction of odour by recirculation
-
and ventilation.
Pre-requisites for smooth functioning: Ba-
sin system according to the water flow dia-
gram shown in the "Function" chapter.
Workstation
The workplace is located on the system
and is retracted only briefly for starting the
plant and for maintenance jobs.
