Alkota VFS Portable Water Reclaim System – Mobile Vacuum Filtration for Stormwater Compliance

The Alkota VFS Portable Water Reclaim System is an advanced solution for recovering and treating wash water runoff in full compliance with environmental and stormwater regulations. Designed for use in mobile or stationary setups, this innovative system helps businesses protect the environment and avoid costly violations — all while reducing operational downtime and disposal expenses.

Built around Alkota’s proprietary vacuum filtration system, the VFS supports zero-discharge or controlled-discharge operations, making it ideal for businesses required to meet strict environmental standards. The first two stages of filtration operate under vacuum (negative pressure), which significantly improves flow rates, enhances filter life, and reduces maintenance costs.

The VFS water recovery system is designed for ease of use, automatic operation, and unmatched serviceability — with no need for expensive filter replacements or additional labor. Available with an optional portable wheel kit, it can be easily transported across job sites or mounted in pickup trucks, trailers, or vans for mobile service applications.

  • Fully portable or stationary water reclaim system

  • Ensures compliance with storm drain and wastewater discharge regulations
