Waste Crete Systems, LLC has unveiled a new patent-pending concrete washout system called EnviroWash.

The EnviroWash process is one in which all concrete wastewater, once removed, is treated and reintroduced back into the EnviroWash unit, which is then used to clean concrete equipment over and over again. This process is designed to allow companies to reduce the liabilities and expenses associated with onsite concrete wastewater handling while reducing the amount of water used to rinse off concrete equipment at construction job sites after they have emptied their concrete loads.

Waste Crete Systems will showcase the EnviroWash System at the World of Concrete 2008 Tradeshow in Las Vegas, Jan. 22-25, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The technology will be available for viewing at booth #N553 and at a 3 p.m. press conference on Jan. 23.

According to Waste Crete Systems, the EnviroWash System exceeds current EPA "Best Practice" standards for water contamination from concrete truck washouts and prevents nearly 90 percent of rainwater and groundwater contamination from concrete wastewater throughout the building process.
