    1) The document proposes a carwash water recycling system to reduce water usage and bills at carwash premises while promoting environmental friendliness. 2) Currently, carwashes use around 1000 liters of water per day and spend RM20,000-50,000 annually on water bills. The proposed system uses sand filters to recycle wastewater, reducing usage by 80% to only 35 liters per car. 3) Data from sample carwashes shows the system could decrease water usage from 695 cubic meters per month to 139 cubic meters, and cut water bills from RM1050 to RM208.50 monthly. This leads to estimated increased annual profits of RM15

    Introduction

    Carwash service sector has been growing rapidly with high demand of car
    washing yet, also has created a critical problem to our environment. A carwash centre
    washes an average of 150-200 cars each day. This number indicates that a carwash
    centre uses up a large amount of water (approx. 1000L) each day. Carwash owners
    spent within the range of RM20,000- RM50,000 per year in their water bills. Water
    might be an easy source to get in Malaysia, but then, if we could minus half of the
    amount of water cost for carwash premise each year and promote environmental
    friendly premise. Carwash center often discharge hazardous wastewater into drainage
    system. Hazardous wastewater from carwash center contains heavy metals, gasoline
    oil, soaps and etc. Carwash owners can actually provide a more economical and
    environment friendly services by recycling the carwash water. Recycling wastewater
    of carwash is a beneficial approach as large amount of wastewater can be reused
    without paying much for water bill. Moreover, this water treatment system introduce
    does not require any electricities.

    Problem Statement

    Water the most important source in our daily life. Many studies have been made to
    improve pollution of water, example of water pollution is carwash waste water which
    will contain soap, detergents, residues from exhaust fumes, gasoline, motor oils and
    also heavy metals, yet carwash premise had just simply dispose it everywhere.
    Conversely, Carwash waste water treatment System can actually be helps carwash
    premise to reuse the water whilst promote environment friendly idea. Example of car
    washing water consumption is shown as table below:

    Average drinking water consumption


    Kind of car washing activity
    per car
    Washing cars by hand with a hose 400 litres
    Conventional car wash installation 150 litres
    Car wash installation with water
    10-50 litres
    recycling system

    Figure 1: Water consumptions of different car wash activities.

    Results and Findings

    Material used in this system is Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) sand filters.
    Advantages of using FRP sand filters listed as below:

     High specific flow rate (save space and cost)


     Infrequent of maintenance require
     Lower backwash water requirement
     Raw water can also be used for backwash

    Table 1 Table 2
    Table 1 above have shown the data collected from several of Carwash premise
    whilst Table 2 shows the expected amount of water consumption after installing
    Carwash Water Treatment System. Thus, comparison of both tables we can make a
    conclusion as below:

     Amount of water used had been reduce


     Amount of water used for one car decrease 80%
     Water bills had decrease up to 80%

    Moreover, the carwash premise could beneficial as listed below:

     Promote premise as environment friendly carwash centre.


     Helps government to reduce their cost in water treatment plant.
     Market-promoting your carwash premise as it is environmental
    friendly.
     No electricity needed in the system.

    Estimation Cost of Installing Carwash Water Treatment System is around RM5000-


    RM8000 (depends on size of premise) and maximum time taken for installing is three
    days.

    By installing this treatment system, estimation of profits increase within one year is
    RM15,000.
