Environmental Cleaning Information From Sun Brite Supply
A vacuum designed for the removal of dry soils has a very high airflow rating and a relatively low suction rating. A vacuum specifically designed to carry away liquids has a relatively lower airflow rating and a much high suction rating for environmental cleaning.
To better understand the difference between airflow and suction in water reclamation systems, let’s begin by describing airflow. Airflow relates to air volume. The airflow of vacuums is measured in 'cubic feet per minute' or CFM.
Water reclamation systems
New water reclamation systems are being created every day to meet new environmental cleaning regulations. These regulations require a growing selection of quality tools and supplies for recovering used wash water to meet compliance with local regulations stemming from the Clean Water Act. Vacuums, Oil-Water Separators, Berms, Booms and Oil Socks are becoming a necessity for the mobile contract cleaner every day.
The most important part of any water reclamation systems is the vacuum. You need a serious vacuum to do the job right. A vacuum's true power rating is based on airflow and suction, not on amperage or horsepower. Don’t be fooled by horsepower ratings, which are often ratings of "effective horsepower" instead of true horsepower anyway.
