Installation of an Atlantik® flexible wash area for a karting facility in Châteauroux, France

A need for effluent treatment

Base US Karting is a family-run business. With a passion for vehicles and ecology, its owner inaugurated in 2024 two circuits, indoor and outdoor, on a former pilot school base. More than 30 karts have to be cleaned on a regular basis.

The need was clear: wash the karts quickly without polluting the ground, recycle wastewater and treat hydrocarbon effluents. The system also had to be mobile, so that it could be easily adapted to the karts and would not interfere with kart parking.

Last but not least, it had to be cost-effective, as the budget had already been used for other installations.

Solutions provided by our wastewater treatment solution

X’Pertus, an expert in effluent treatment and washwater recovery, proposed solutions tailored to its customer’s constraints:

• Installation of a heavy-duty flexible retaining area (TP 900g/m²), fitted with brackets and shape-memory socks. It is easy to install on hard ground with a slight slope.
• Installation of a lift pump to recover dirty water and transfer it to a filtration system.
• Installation of the Atlantik® effluent and grease treatment system: it immediately filters wash water for fast, efficient recycling.

This solution enables karts to be washed, effluent to be treated, waste water to be recycled and the area to be kept clean without any constraints or additional work.
