How many of us have a filtration unit and why?

After seeing Prokleen as the latest company to purchase their first filtration unit in order to be EPA compliant, how many others are compliant or thinking about being compliant in the near future?

And out of those who do have filtration units, how many years have you had your filtration making money for you?
 
I have had a oil/water separator with a filtering system since day one but have never used it. I keep the stuff from running out into the street or to the storm water drains.

I have the vacuum recovery surface cleaners for interior jobs but have only used one of them one time but have them ready to go.
 
We have the system shown below.

It's operation is simple.

The dirty water from the coil is evacuated from the work area by the legendary SHOP VAC.

This is no ordinary Shop Vac. It is equipped with the optional Pump-out feature which pumps the sludge out onto the filtration media commonly known as "the roof".

The sludge slowly strives with all it's might to make it's way to Lake Mead where it can wreak havok on our drinking water by combining it's one gallon of (what's commonly sold over the counter as) DRAIN CLEANER, with the BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of gallons in the lake.

It's at this point the ROOF FILTRATION SYSTEM goes to work and stops it in it's tracks.

First the sludge races to the side of the building. All along the way the texture of the roof fights and fights to stop progress of any substance but pure water.

Then, alas, with all it's momentum gone it comes to a stop, just feet from the roof drain. As the sun beats down on the toxic concoction its life blood is snatched away by the second layer of the rooftop filtration system, this layer is called "evaporation".

Oh, yes, the rain will eventuallly come and it will make another attempt to move the sludge further and further along. Each step taken towards the lake reduces concentrations more and more.

Should this one gallon of death reach the water supply, it may very well save the city some money in treatment. Look at the last sentence in the 7th paragraph down here:

Everytime it rains millions upon millions gallons of dirt, oil, sludge, chemicals, everything imaginable is routed directly to the storm drains.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make logical laws regarding this type of stuff?

For example:
I can use a gallon of drain cleaner to unstop my drain.
But I couldn't pump hundreds of thousands of gallons of drain cleaner into the sewer system at my plant that manufactures drain cleaner. That would not be environmentally friendly. A law against that is logical.

I can have a little fire in my fireplace.
But I can't burn down the whole neighborhood. That would not be environmentally friendly. A law against that is logical.

We are using chemicals that simply lower or raise the ph of water. When diluted they are harmless.

What's next? Do we have to catch our own truck emissions in a bag and drop them off at an "authorized" emmissions collection site? At least emissions can be proven to be harmful. (somewhat).

Why aren't we fighting this? Why are we talking about "representation for the industry" and not exposing the shear insanity of it and ASKING FOR PROOF OF HARM?

At 8GPM a company could conceivably pump out 3840 gallons of water in an 8 hr day. How many gallons of HOT HOT caustic would you use on that property? Ten gallons? Twenty? If you used ten gallons that caustic is diluted 384 times! That means your hot mix of 4 cups per gallon is now 4/384

That's less than 1/2 a teaspoon per gallon of water.

I would drink that on youtube if someone who claims to be "fighting for us as an industry" against the treehuggers would promise to use it in the fight.

What has happened to common sense?
