Trakway is a series of panels laid down to create access to fields and sites usually inaccessible to vehicles and pedestrians. The cleaning process of the Trakway panels results in high water usage and Sunbelt Rentals wanted an economical and sustainable solution that would enable it to re- cycle the used wash water. MSE Systems provided Sunbelt Rentals with a fully automated wastewater treatment system following a successful rental and testing period in 2020.
