Aircraft wash system recycles all wash water

July 1, 2010

Hydro Eng. Inc. has designed, manufactured, tested, certified to UL and CE standards, delivered, and commissioned its “green” portable aircraft washing system for Boeing. The Hydrosite green wash rack is a portable system that recycles 100 percent of the wash water collected from the aircraft washing process.

The project was completed as part of Boeing’s KC-767 aircraft refuelers program supplied to the Italian Air Force. The Italian Air Force at Aeroporto Militare Mario De Bernardi, in Proezia, Italy, requires the aircraft washing to be performed outside on the airport ramp. All equipment had to roll out to the temporary wash site, where it would be deployed in minutes. After washing, the rack would be packed up for storage, awaiting the next wash cycle.

The first training wash on a Boeing 767 was completed in less than seven hours with eight people washing the entire aircraft. Four people applied cleaning solution while four others manned the wash/rinse hot water Hydroblasters.
