Tailored solutions for your plant’s unique needs
At BFK, we’re committed to helping you layout a closed-loop pond system that keeps your operations efficient. Settling ponds have stood the test of time as a proven and reliable method, and we’re here to help make yours work effectively with your reclamation system.
Optimize Your Existing System
Most ready-mix plants already have a washout pond system in place, along with a retention pond to manage overflow and stormwater runoff. Whether you're looking to enhance what you have or need a new layout, BFK can work with almost any pond or pit system. Our experts are ready to recommend improvements or create a customized solution that fits your specific needs.
Settling Pond Design: Get It Right the First Time
The effectiveness of your reclaimer is only as good as the pond system supporting it. Even the best reclaimer won’t perform to its full potential if paired with a poorly designed pond system. At BFK, we understand that the success of your reclamation system depends on both ends working in harmony. That’s why we offer custom settling pond layouts tailored to your plant, completely free of charge—even before you commit to purchasing a reclaimer.
CO₂-Based pH Control
Using CO₂ to lower pH is a proven technique that delivers exceptional results for various industrial processes. Whether you need a stand-alone solution or a system to complement your concrete reclaimer, we’ve partnered with ATSI, a pioneer in pH control solutions, to bring you the perfect system for managing washout water and stormwater.
How it works: simple, effective, customized
share your plant layout
Getting started is easy. Just provide us with your plant address, and we’ll use Google Maps to analyze your existing pond setup. If you prefer, you can also email us a basic layout sketch of what you currently have. From there, our team will create a recommended layout drawing based on your specific site and needs.
Receive your custom pond layout
Our custom settling pond designs ensure you have enough room for solids to settle, while delivering relatively clean water that can be reused at the reclaimer. This helps maintain a closed-loop system, keeping your operations running smoothly and minimizing environmental impact.
enjoy piece of mind
With BFK’s free custom settling pond layouts, you can rest assured that your reclamation system will be designed properly from the start. Our solutions ensure that your reclaimer and pond system work hand-in-hand for optimal performance.

pH Control
Lower the pH level of your water.
BFK is an authorized dealer for ATSI pH Control systems. For over 30 years, ATSI has been the leader in pH Control Systems having engineered and manufactured Carbon Dioxide-based pH Control Systems for all types of processes including ready mix, precast, job-site construction washout, and wastewater and stormwater treatment.
Using carbon dioxide (CO₂) to treat and maintain pH levels, our systems offer a sustainable solution that integrates seamlessly into existing operations. This non-hazardous approach is a safer alternative to traditional pH treatments and ensures that treated water can be reused, protecting valuable resources while reducing disposal costs.
key benefits of co systems
Efficient water reuse & compliance
CO₂-based pH control allows treated water to be reused for cooling aggregate piles, dust suppression, making new concrete, and mixer/truck washout, reducing the need for fresh water. Additionally, it helps your operations meet environmental standards, minimizing the risk of fines or non-compliance.
Cost-effective, Low-Maintenance solution
The compact design (2' x 2' x 4') requires minimal space and just 10 minutes of maintenance per week, saving time and reducing operating costs. CO₂ is a safer, more controlled alternative to acid treatments, offering reliable performance without the risk of overcorrection.
flexible & scalable for any operation
These systems are available in both fixed and mobile setups, allowing them to be tailored to the specific needs of small to large plants. With optional upgrades for larger plants and hot-weather conditions, the system is designed to grow with your operation and ensure continuous, precise water treatment.
Single and Dual Systems with the help of C0 gas turn your settling pond from a cesspool into a swimming pool in just a few hours.
single
Designed for small to medium ready-mix and precast plants, this system is ideal for plants that need to adjust pH for a portion of their washout pit water for either reuse or discharge. It is perfect for stormwater treatment and facilities with reclaimer systems installed, offering a base CO₂ system that meets most operational needs.
dual
For larger operations or more complex needs, this system offers a high-gas-flow CO₂ setup capable of treating washout pits fed by concrete reclaimers and large ready-mix plants. The system features a second pH probe for monitoring separate discharge points and includes dual-pump control options, providing greater flexibility and precision in pH adjustments.
Whether you're running a small plant or a large-scale facility,
our CO₂-based systems offer the flexibility and efficiency you need.
