Beyond Compliance: The Power of Sustainable Wash Bay Solutions
We take compliance worries off your hands, plus we build for the future – pairing Evans’ wastewater treatment Bio Systems with smart, sustainable chemistry to lower your risk, cut your costs, and lighten your environmental impact. Compliance shouldn’t be a burden you wrestle to keep – it should be the baseline for building something stronger. At Evans Equipment and Environmental, we build beyond.
Compliance is the Starting Line
For many businesses, environmental compliance is a checkbox. For us, it’s the starting line. Evans leads with systems that reclaim water and reduce chemical load, protecting your job site and your business reputation.
Public expectations for cleaner operations are higher than ever, and regulations continue to tighten up the rules on industrial wash water and waste. Typical wash bay requirements now include:
- Permits: If you discharge wash water, you must be under a permit category, no exceptions.
- Effluent Limits: Pretreatment requirements for heavy equipment and transportation cleaning (TEC Guidelines)
- Containment: Runoff controls to keep contaminants on the pad and out of soil/groundwater.
- Penalties: Inflation-adjusted fines can now exceed $68,000 per day, per violation.
Here’s the bottom line: noncompliance risks way more than a hefty fee. It’s downtime, shutdowns, cleanup liability, and lasting damage to your reputation.
But you don’t have to watch dollars pour down the drain. Evans delivers systems that make compliance seamless, and then we go further.
The Power of Evans Bio Systems
“Environmentally safe” isn’t a buzzword for us – it’s a business principle. It’s about efficiency and effectiveness. Our biodegradable formulations reduce industrial impact while delivering a knockout clean for everything from oil spills to industrial tank wash downs. Paired with filtration, our Evans Bio System (EBS) breaks down organic contaminants like oil, diesel, and drilling mud into simple water and carbon dioxide.
Closed-Loop (Zero-Discharge) Systems capture, treat, and recycle wash water. These systems (available as permanent bays or portable, above-ground wash pads) dramatically cut freshwater demand and eliminate discharge risk altogether.
The result? Lower water bills, less waste, reduced chemical use, and peace of mind knowing you’re well inside permit lines.
Benefits of Recycling Your Wash Water
Water can be recycled, too. Treated wash water can be reused for industrial processes, irrigation, or even groundwater recharge where regulations allow. The treatment must be tailored to your state’s industry regulations and how you plan to reuse the water (EPA). With Evans closed-loop wash systems, efficiency and sustainability go hand in hand.
- Save money: Slash water bills.
- Simplify compliance: Avoid the hassle of hauling wastewater.
- Stay sustainable: Reduce incoming water dependence.
- Stay flexible: Deploy portable racks easily on leased sites or shifting job locations.

Our chemistry is tough on grime but gentle on your heavy equipment and your wastewater treatment system:
- Biodegradable, non-toxic formulas designed for high-volume, industrial cleaning.
- Compatible with bio and wastewater systems, so you clean effectively without sabotaging treatment.
- Foam control options like high-cling or fast-rinse to match your application and equipment needs.
