Commercial Rain Water Reuse Systems

(Commercial Water Reclamation for graywater, groundwater, condensate, softener & filter backwash, pool backwash, storm water (commercial rainwater harvesting) and more.)

Engineers and Architects-

Turnkey Systems save time and money, avoid liabilities

From design to submittals to on-site set-up and training

 

Sanitizes, Filters and Delivers water On-demand.

Use water for irrigation, water closets, wash water, make-up water for pools, fountains, cooling towers and much more.

                     

Systems automatically default to fresh water if cistern tank level or disinfection levels are low.

Recycling Rainwater can earn up to twelve (12) LEED Points!

CATEC RW Series Rainwater Reuse Systems make treating and reusing rainwater safe, easy and environmentally friendly. Our turnkey systems are packaged on a single skid type frame which includes a powerful disinfection process as well as proper filtration. There are NO CHEMICALS TO BUY OR ADD! 

                

CATEC is proud to contribute to the Green Building by providing innovative water treatment and reuse products. Many of our products have allowed companies LEED points, which can offer substantial tax breaks and other incentives for businesses who obtain LEED qualification points. These incentives can be many more times the cost of the recycling system which can lead to an instant return on investment. The systems can also substantially lower water and sewer bills, again offering a quick return on investment.

Reusing rainwater without proper treatment can lead to health concerns and illness, which can become serious liability issues. In commercial / industrial applications, proper disinfection is a must!

WATERBORNE DISEASES
Click on the disease name for more info
Diseases Responsible pathogen Route of exposure Mode of transmission
Cholera Vibrio cholerae bacteria gastro-intestinal often waterborne
Botulism Clostridium botulinum bacteria gastro-intestinal food/water borne; can grow in food
Typhoid Salmonella typhi bacteria gastro-intestinal water/food borne
Hepatitis A Hepatitis A virus gastro-intestinal water/food borne
Dysentery Shigella dysenteriae bacteria or Entamoeba histolytica amoeba gastro-intestinal food/water
Cryptosporidiosis Cryptosporidium parvum protozoa gastro-intestinal waterborne; resists chlorine
Polio polioviruses gastro-intestinal exposure to untreated sewage; may also be waterborne
Giardia Giardia lamblia protozoa gastro-intestinal waterborne

 

CATEC's powerful Ozone, UV or Chemical injection systems (we offer all three) destroy bacteria, spores, microbes and enzymes on contact, which ensures the water is safe for reuse.  Onboard filtration is provided to remove particles greater than one micron. The systems will not release reuse water until it is up to a preset disinfection level.

It is important to employ a good disinfection process to keep the water fresh and usable. Other systems use chlorine (or other chemicals) for disinfection. Chlorine requires continuous purchasing, handling and injecting to be effective. Chlorine also is dangerous to handle, and is not environmentally friendly. In fact, chlorine is damaging to the environment. Chlorine is also corrosive and will cause premature wear on pumping and delivery systems.

NOTE: Systems that use chlorine or other chemicals may also result in a loss of LEED qualification points.

CATEC utilizes Ozone and/or UV technology to disinfect the water. Ozone is very environmentally friendly for water treatment because it does not require the addition of chemicals. Since Ozone is produced from Oxygen, Ozone (O3) reverts to back to oxygen (O2) after it has done it's job.  Ozone is 15 times more powerful than chlorine and works 3000 times faster.  Good filtration is required to remove suspended solids and byproducts once the water is treated with Ozone.

CATEC'S Rainwater Reuse Systems are used to treat captured rainwater from building roofs and select other sources. The rain water is disinfected and made suitable for toilet flushing, cleaning water, irrigation systems, cooling tower make-up water as well as any other uses requiring non-potable water.

CATEC Rainwater/Condensate Reuse Systems are a turn-key, skid mounted system which employ a powerful disinfection delivery and filtration system, all in one. All timers, sensors and controls come with the unit so there are no extras to buy. The systems arrive pre-plumbed and pre-wired. Once installed, a simple one time set up is all it takes to get the system in service.

A qualified plumber can usually install the system within two working days. Tanks can be above ground or below ground. The processed rainwater is pressurized and delivered "on demand" to the water utilities which the system services. Sensors in the tanks detect whether rainwater is present in the tanks. If rainwater is not available, the system automatically switches to an alternate source and will continue feeding utilities hooked up to the system.

Maintenance is simple and can be performed in a few minutes by general labor persons. Five to ten minutes once a month is typical.

CATEC's Rainwater Reuse Systems are available in 10, 15, 35, 50, 80,100, 120, 150, 200 and 300 GPM All provide treated water On-demand to your selected water utilities.  

CATEC will produce custom designs, including tanking for any facility. We will assist you through all phases of installation, operation and maintenance so there is no guesswork.
