Riveer Riveer is a global manufacturer of custom filtrating wash systems that reclaim, remove solids and le

Founded in 1983, Riveer began by specializing in equipment sales to the federal government, specifically industrial and military grade pressure washers, parts cleaners, custom wash equipment and difficult custom projects. Company founder Matt Petter soon realized that greater control over the manufacturing process would result in a superior system, and together with his brother Doug Petter, transf

ormed the company into a manufacturing operation to better respond to customer's exact requirements. The Petters made a huge advancement in the wash rack industry with their "GripStart Technology" which solves a common military problem; new recruits are often thrown on the job without extensive training. With "GripStart", all they have to do is pick up the wash gun and pull the trigger, then release the trigger to stop it. Riveer continues to focus on easy-to-operate systems that outperform competitive units. Since introducing the "Cyclonator" in 1997 Riveer sales have grown at an annual rate of 36%. This growth has also been driven by innovations such as the "MudMasterTM", "BirdBath" and "PhosphaterTM". Growth is organic as well internally financed, and a large segment of that growth is existing customers, who make up 34% of our new equipment orders. Servicing customers is an essential part of Riveer's continued success. Riveer's growth has shown the need for the expansion of an entire service department, maintaining and servicing their systems throughout the world. During this period of rapid growth, Riveer has never lost sight of its mission to provide easy-to-operate, environmentally compliant washing, containment and filtration systems for military, aviation, oil & gas, construction, industrial, finishing, municipal and commercial markets around the world. Today, Riveer systems can be found throughout the world, keeping equipment clean, combating the never ending threat of corrosion, and reclaiming as much precious water as possible. When it comes to wash rack technology to handle the toughest jobs... the solution is clear with Riveer.

Why does the right tank matter for a Water Recovery System?

In order to suit the operational needs of its application, a water recovery system needs to be able to filter, treat, and output enough water to keep up with its use rate. At Riveer, our team of engineers are experts in selecting a tank, or multiple, that best meets your needs so your operation can stay up and running - no matter how much water you need to recover.

What factors do Riveer’s engineers consider when helping select the right tank or tanks for your system?

🪨 Dirt/Debris Load and Type
⌛ Filtration Process Rate
🚿 Wash Throughput
⏲️ Water Detention Time
🏗️ Site Layout

From challenging layouts to difficult debris, our team of in-house experts are ready to engineer the right wash water filtration and treatment system for your operation.

Are you ready to fight the battle against aircraft corrosion?

Riveer's Tactical Rinse System (TRS) is an automatic clear water rinse system for aircraft of virtually every configuration and complexity. Fully deployable, the TRS is installed above ground, eliminating the time and expense of infrastructure modification and associated site engineering/environmental considerations. The modular configuration consists of steel pad sections forming the wash rack and complete rinse/wash and filtration system housed in special ISO containers. All that is required is electrical power.

Why Choose Riveer’s Tactical Rinse System (TRS)?
⏩ Fast deployment for virtually immediate operation
⏲️ Quick Rinse Cycle
🔘 Cockpit activated PAR (Pilot Activated Rinse) allows pilot to select and activate airframe-specific rinse pattern via mic clicks.
💦 Sprays 800 to 3,000 GPM at a safe-for-aircraft pressures, under 60 PSI for undercarriage and 175 for flight surfaces.
☁️ Automatic operation, no ground crew required, adjusts to type of aircraft and weather conditions
🚿 Utilizes multiple corner-mounted, automatic, oscillating, high-flow monitors with patented spray and flow trajectories and multiple lower deck nozzles ensure a thorough and efficient rinse of all surfaces.
🛡️ Patented FOD-proof (Foreign Object Debris) nozzles offer pattern and flow adjustment capabilities.

FIGHT THE BATTLE OF AIRCRAFT CORROSION ⚔️

The TRS helps mitigate the skyrocketing cost of airframes corrosion maintenance, delivering cost savings by eliminating ground crew man hours required for less-effective manual rinses, while at the same time recycling up to 80% of the water. Positioning TRS on a taxiway or flight line ramp allows inline rinses immediately upon aircraft recovery. Rinse cycle times can be adjusted to accommodate water spray lasting from 30 seconds to 2 minutes, allowing for customization to environmental and mission conditions.
