With tougher and stricter government regulations on what is going down the drain, a solution to maintain and stay ahead of any criteria by treating the process water into a clean reusable or drainable effluent had to be found. SurfaceID and ERE designed a compact treatment system used for many industries for filtering and removing sediments, separate oil from water and treating the water to regulated discharge level before sending it to the drain. Through its design, Recover All and its compactness with fully automated features become your forefront environmental solution provider

The Story Behind Recover All and SurfaceID

ERE is a Montreal company that has supplied environmental and industrial equipment for three decades, from remediation systems to oil/water separators. As regulations on what goes down the drain grew stricter, its customers needed a way to treat process water on site, so it could be reused or discharged at regulated levels.

SurfaceID and ERE developed Recover All, a compact, fully automated system that filters out sediment, separates oil from water and treats the water before it goes to the drain. The goal was industrial equipment that looks approachable and is easy to operate, with as much attention on the experience as on the plumbing.

Engineered Around Proven Plumbing

SurfaceID developed the machine from scratch in SolidWorks around ERE’s existing plumbing. The support chassis, brackets and covers were designed with production methods and cost in mind, so the system could be built efficiently.

Easier to Use, Easier to Service

Cognitive and physical ergonomics guided the project from the start. Beyond the new parts, the design also improved how operators work with existing components, such as changing the filter lids, through clearer cues built into the new design.

Compact, Modular, Automated

Recover All treats up to 5 GPM with six filtration cartridges, all inside one modular cabinet. For automotive shops and industrial facilities, that means the whole treatment process fits in a single compact footprint and runs automatically.
