Anua Synergy BioCoir QuadMod
The Synergy BioCoir QuadMod from Anua is focused on the small commercial market. Systems are a recirculating media biofilter that utilize coconut coir housed in a preassembled pod. Pretreated effluent is time-dosed over the coir media using helical spray nozzles for uniform distribution. After passing through the media, effluent travels to the bottom of the pod and the flow is split, with 80% returning back into the treatment stream and 20% to the final dispersal point. They are designed for both burial and portability by featuring an I-beam steel frame that allows the unit to be picked up and moved. Measuring just over 19 feet long, 7.38 feet wide and 3.42 feet tall, QuadMod systems are designed to fit in standard shipping containers for worldwide transport. 336-547-9338; www.anuainternational.com

Wastewater Reuse System
Front Range Precast FLXX Concrete Tanks
For car washes, the main challenge has always been water conservation. By recapturing and treating water on-site, commercial car washes use about 65% less water and also drain their detergents into city sewer lines, not storm drains — which can lead to waterway contamination. FLXX Concrete Tanks from Front Range Precast provide all-in-one treatment and storage systems, ensuring water is used multiple times before being drained correctly into city sewers. The company’s latest system, installed for Beacon Construction in Mead, Colorado, utilizes three 2,000-gallon FLXX tanks to treat and store water on-site. 800-783-3207; www.flxx.com
