GEOMAT Sewer Connected Overview

GEOMAT description:

Aluminum framed, patented wastewater filtration and containment system.

GEOMAT sewer connected function:

Upon water being introduced to the surface, it flows down through the patented GEOMAT’s filtration grid and is contained by an oil impervious membrane, which is attached to a 2” x 2” aluminum perimeter frame. The patented system is sloped accordingly towards a drain to provide optimum filtration and waste water containment. Upon completion of the wastewater gravity flowing through the patented GEOMAT system the effluent is now approved to be accepted by the governing sewer authority.

GEOMAT sewer connected operation:

The car / truck is driven onto the patented GEOMAT surface. It is then washed and rinsed using a pressure washer or ordinary hose with industry accepted chemicals & procedures. Upon completion, it is driven off the wash area.

GEOMAT sewer connected installation:

Standard 10’ x 20’ perimeter frame rails (2” x 2” angle aluminum) are bolted to the surface using 1⁄2” x 2-1/4” sleeve anchors. The containment membrane is then placed inside the area overlapping the perimeter rails. The membrane is now bolted to the perimeter rail with an aluminum flange rail creating a containment area. The patented GEOMAT filtration layers are then placed within this area and held in place by an aluminum trim rail. Diamond plate entry / exit ramps are installed at one end using 1⁄2” x 4” sleeve anchors, thus completing the main component of the filtering / containment process.

All GEOMAT components and accessories are installed according to codes and guidelines that vary among the local municipality jurisdiction.

G E O M A TPatented Waste Water Recovery System

GEOMAT sewer connected requirements:

For a standard GEOMAT sewer connected system the location will need:

● A somewhat level surface (most inconsistency's can be field corrected).

● Overhead protection from rain (to prevent introduction of unwanted water).

● A sanitary sewer line to connect to (field verify location / adaptable for pump discharge). !

GEOMAT service and maintenance: (small variations with usage volume) !

The patented GEOMAT system is designed to contain and filter the water being used. Through this process the patented GEOMAT filtering layers need to be cleaned annually (dependent on usage). This is done by a GEOMAT technician and all residual waste and sediment is disposed and manifested according to local and federal EPA guidelines. !

Summary: !

The GEOMAT sewer connected system has proven itself through actual field usage and historical tracking to be an effective tool in reducing costs and environmental impact in the car / truck washing industry. The GEOMAT application leaves no environmental or construction footprint if it is removed. The bolt penetration holes can be filled with epoxy cement. The patented GEOMAT system can be relocated and installed elsewhere if desired. It was designed to be low maintenance and very durable to accommodate the industry and it is doing just that.

SEWER TIE-IN SYSTEM

Upon water being introduced to the surface, it flows down through the patented GEOMAT filtration grid and is contained by an oil impervious membrane which is attached to a 2” x 2” aluminum perimeter frame. The patented system is sloped accordingly towards a drain to

provide optimum filtration and waste water containment. Upon completion of the waste water gravity flowing through the patented GEOMAT system, the effluent is now approved

to be accepted by the governing sewer authority.

GEOMAT Closed Loop Overview

GEOMAT closed loop main components:

1- Aluminum framed, patented wastewater filtration and containment system. 2- Wastewater pumping system options.

A- Compressed air operated (non surface penetrating)

B- Sump basin ejector (surface penetrating)

3- Wastewater filtering / recycling tank system. 4- High pressure, low consumption pressure washer.

GEOMAT closed loop function:

Upon water being introduced to the surface, it flows down through the patented GEOMAT filtration grid and is contained by an oil impervious membrane, which is attached to a 2” x 2” aluminum perimeter frame. The patented system is sloped accordingly towards a drain to provide optimum filtration and waste water recovery. The wastewater is then pumped using one of the appropriate pumping configurations to the recycling / filtering tank system. After running through the tank / filtering system the water is suitable to be reused and connected to a pressure washer to continue washing.

GEOMAT closed loop operation:

The car / truck is driven onto the GEOMAT surface. (Compressed air pump systems will need manual switch type activation, sump basin ejectors are automatic) It is then washed and rinsed using the pressure washer and industry accepted chemicals & procedures. Upon completion, it is driven off the wash area. (Compressed air pump systems can be equipped with an auto shut off timer).

GEOMAT closed loop installation:

Standard 10’ x 20’ perimeter frame rails (2” x 2” angle aluminum) are bolted to the surface using 1⁄2” x 2-1/4” sleeve anchors. The containment membrane is then placed inside the area overlapping the perimeter rails. The membrane is now bolted to the perimeter rail with an aluminum flange rail creating a containment area. The patented GEOMAT filtration layers are then placed within this area and held in place by an aluminum trim rail. Diamond plate entry / exit ramps are installed at one end using 1⁄2” x 4” sleeve anchors, thus completing the main component of the filtering / containment process.

All GEOMAT components and accessories are installed according to codes and guidelines that vary among the local municipality jurisdiction.

Tanks, sump basins, air compressors, pressure washer locations and configurations are determined by field circumstances and dimensions.

GEOMAT closed loop requirements:

For a standard GEOMAT closed loop system the location will need three dedicated 20 amp power circuits.

● one for the air compressor pump or sump basin pump system

● one for the pressure washer

● one for the interior upholstery vacuum (usually already in place) !

A somewhat level surface (most inconsistency's can be field corrected).

Overhead protection from rain (to prevent introduction of unwanted water).

Access for a recovery truck within 100’ to run their suction hose. !

GEOMAT service and maintenance: (small variations with usage volume) !

The patented GEOMAT system is designed to contain and increase the longevity of the water being used. Do to over spray while washing and water being carried off the wash area by the car / truck. The tanks may need minimal replenishing from time to time. This is done by connecting a standard flexible hose to the provided port. !

Filters are visually inspected daily for sediment and can be easily removed and cleaned. !

Upon determining the water is no longer suitable for washing, the tanks will be pumped and cleaned by a licensed hauler, disposed of and manifested according to local and federal EPA guidelines. The tanks will then be refilled and ready to be used again. !

The patented GEOMAT filtering layers need to be cleaned annually (dependent on usage). This is done by a GEOMAT technician and all residual waste and sediment is disposed and manifested according to local and federal EPA guidelines. !

Summary: !

The GEOMAT closed loop system has proven itself through actual field usage and historical tracking to be an effective tool in reducing costs and environmental impact in the car / truck washing industry. The GEOMAT application leaves no environmental or construction footprint if it is removed. The bolt penetration holes can be filled with epoxy cement and if applicable, the sump basin can be removed and the remaining hole filled with gravel and patched with concrete. The patented GEOMAT system can be relocated and installed elsewhere if desired. It was designed to be low maintenance and very durable to accommodate the industry and is doing just that.
