Résumé:
Monaco’s government has opened its first car wash station equipped with a water recycling system to reduce water waste and allow for year-round operation during drought conditions.
Histoire complète :
The Government of Monaco has opened its first water recycling car wash station at the Heliport Parking as part of its water resource management policy. This system allows for almost closed-loop operation as the water used for washing can be reused infinitely. The benefits of this water recycling system include a substantial reduction in the wastage of drinking water compared to traditional car wash stations, which draw water from the potable water network. It is a biological system that does not use any additives or enzymes. The wastewater from washing is stored in aerial tanks for settling, then passes through a biological reactor, fine filtration, and disinfection before being reused. This system also allows the car wash station to operate year-round, even during drought conditions. In the near future, the car wash stations at Wurtemberg, La Colle, and Salines parking will also be equipped with this water recycling system.
