What Are Air Pollution Control Units (PCUs)?

Air Pollution Control Units, commonly known as PCUs, are sophisticated filtration systems engineered to address the growing need for superior air quality control in mixed-space environments. As commercial kitchens increasingly operate in close proximity to dining areas, office spaces, and residential units, controlling airborne pollutants has become critical for professional operators. PCUs work by removing troublesome smoke, odor, and grease particulates that are commonly associated with restaurant exhaust air, ensuring your establishment meets stringent air quality standards while protecting your surrounding environment.

Why Your Commercial Kitchen Needs a PCU

Enhanced Environmental Compliance

With stricter environmental regulations and community standards, PCUs help your establishment stay ahead of compliance requirements while demonstrating your commitment to environmental responsibility.

Superior Filtration Technology

Our PCUs offer the highest level of filtration required for effective smoke and odor control, going far beyond what traditional exhaust systems can achieve.

Protect Your Reputation

Eliminate complaints from neighboring businesses and residents by controlling odors and visible emissions that could impact your establishment’s reputation.

Future-Proof Your Operation

As regulations continue to tighten, investing in PCU technology ensures your kitchen remains compliant with evolving environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Car Wash Pit Services

What's the difference between wastewater pits and oil pits?

Wastewater pits collect general wash water, soap residue, and debris from the washing process, while oil pits specifically capture oils, grease, and petroleum products through oil-water separator systems. Both require different cleaning approaches and compliance considerations. We service both types with specialized equipment and techniques appropriate for each application.

How often should I schedule car wash pit cleaning?

Service frequency depends on your wash volume, pit capacity, and system design. High-volume tunnel washes typically need monthly service, moderate-volume operations benefit from quarterly cleaning, while smaller facilities may require only bi-annual service. We’ll assess your specific needs and recommend the optimal schedule.

Do you provide POTW compliance documentation?

Yes, we ensure your oil-water separators and waste management practices meet all local Publicly Owned Treatment Works regulations. We provide comprehensive documentation of all services, waste volumes removed, and compliance verification for your regulatory records.

What makes your vacuum trucks different from standard equipment?

Our vacuum trucks are customized specifically for car wash applications, featuring high-capacity pumping systems, specialized filtration, and advanced safety systems. This specialized equipment provides superior cleaning results and efficiency compared to general-purpose vacuum trucks.

Can you handle emergency pit cleaning situations?

Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency response services for urgent pit cleaning and pumping needs. When system failures or blockages threaten your operations, our rapid-response team quickly restores functionality to minimize downtime and revenue loss.

What areas of Georgia do you service?

We provide car wash pit cleaning services throughout Georgia, including Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Savannah, Macon, Athens, and all surrounding communities. Our statewide coverage ensures reliable service wherever your car wash facility is located.

How do you ensure environmental compliance?

We follow all Georgia Environmental Protection Division regulations and local requirements for wastewater handling and disposal. Our processes include proper waste characterization, licensed disposal facilities, and comprehensive documentation to support your compliance efforts.

What preparation is needed before your service?

Simply ensure clear access to pit openings and system components. We recommend scheduling service during off-peak hours to minimize customer disruption. Our team arrives with all necessary equipment and safety gear – no special preparations are required from your staff.

Do you offer contracts or flexible service arrangements?

We offer both options. You can choose flexible, no-contract service arrangements or opt for contracted programs that may provide cost savings for regular maintenance. Our goal is to provide the service arrangement that best fits your operational and budgetary needs.

How long does a typical pit cleaning service take?

Service duration varies based on pit size, configuration, and contamination levels. Most standard cleanings require 2-4 hours, while heavily contaminated systems or emergency situations may take longer. We work efficiently to minimize operational disruption while ensuring thorough cleaning.
