Aircraft Washing Systems and Hanger Modifications

The U.S. Military and private enterprise depend on Hydro Engineering expertise to convert existing and new aircraft hanger designs to be used as washing stations while maintaining the original intended use of the hanger.

Hanger Modification for Corrosion Control

Hydro Engineering has supplied many Civil and Military hanger modifications. One or more Hydroblaster high-pressure washers with corresponding remote equipment modules (REM) can be utilized in a hanger modification for corrosion control.

REM’s are strategically located within the hanger for easy assess to aircraft during washing operations. The REM fully controls its Hydroblaster. The Hydroblasters are located in a remote equipment room or Hydrosite keeping them out of the hanger.

Corrosion Control and Military Aircraft Washing

Washing Large Aircraft Can Use Up to One Million Gallons of Water.

With the Hydroblaster Hanger Mod System water usage drops to as little as fifty thousand gallons, a 95% savings.

Trade Your Fire Hose For High Pressure Washing

High Pressure Washing Saves Labor/time

With high pressure hot water available at each remote equipment location (REM), labor is cut by 70%.

Foam On Chemical and Save Time

The Hydrofoamer Makes Chemical Application Safe and Easy

With the Hydro-foamers located at each REM, chemical usage drops by up to 50%.

Foaming and Washing Speeds The Mission

Men Using Hydrooamers Followed by Hot High Pressure Rinsing

The Hydroblaster hanger modification system puts two men in charge of one Remote Equipment Module (REM) one foaming and one washing/rinsing

Remote Equipment Module (REM)

Fixed Base or Portable Mounted REM

REM units can be supplied for a fixed location as shown on (right) or portable as shown on (left). Both types of REM provide- remote control of the Hydroblaster, hot high-pressure water from the Hydroblaster, foaming chemical application (portable REM includes chemical tank) and hose reels for high-pressure water and foam. Wand holders are included.

Corrosion Control - Washing Units

Seven Hydroblasters Servicing One Hanger

These Hydroblasters are located on a mezzanine hundreds of feet from the hanger washing operations.

If you're short on hanger space use a Hydrosite

If you're short on hanger space our Hydrosite self contained equipment enclosure is the answer.

Now any hanger can be modified to perform corrosion control tasks. It's pre-plumbed, wired, climate controlled and ready to operate. Hydroblasters and/or Hydrokleen filtration equipment is factory installed and tested. Just drop it in place make connections and start washing.

Corrosion Control Wastewater Treatment

Hydrokleen Wastewater Treatment

All wastewater within the hanger is collected and sent to this Hydrokleen system for filtration and recycling back to the Hydroblasters. Recycled water is used in this application to further reduce water usage. Hydrokleen pre-treatment systems for discharge to sanitary sewer are also available.

See our Hydrokleen Section for more info: Water Filtration
