Introduction

Barry Bros. has developed a unique water treatment facility that can effectively treat liquids containing solids and provide water recycling opportunities whilst on site.

By using traditional waste collection methods including submersible pumps and vacuum loading trucks, the treated liquid can be reused in the recycling process, providing full water recycling capabilities.
