Aircraft Rinsing and Washing Equipment

Industry Leading Aircraft SAFE Wash & Rinse Systems

Aircraft wash and rinse procedures are highly specialized based on application, protecting airframes and coatings while preventing corrosion. We are a leader in aircraft wash equipment, aviation washing systems, aircraft rinse carts, in-line wash rack systems, and clear water rinse systems for aircraft washing and corrosion mitigation, delivering precise, controlled cleaning with options for water recovery and reuse. From trailer-based wash solutions to taxiway-installed BirdBath rinse systems, we engineer solutions that keep aircraft mission-ready and corrosion-free.

Riveer aircraft support systems set the industry standard for surface-safe wash, rinse, and water treatment solutions. Our design specifications are built around the NAVAIR Aircraft Cleaning and Corrosion Control Technical Manual (01-1A-509-2 – TM 1-1500-344-23-2), covering daily cleaning (2-3.1), freshwater rinsing (2-10), and wash rack wastewater treatment and disposal (2-12).

In Service Across Military, Commercial, and Private Aviation

Our growing list of Clear Water Rinse Systems (CWRS) serves cargo planes, fighter jets, sub chasers, passenger planes, and helicopters across every branch of the U.S. military and commercial aviation.

Why Clear Water Aircraft Rinsing?

According to the Air Force Corrosion Prevention and Control Office (AFCPCO), the USAF alone spends upwards of $2 billion annually on corrosion maintenance. Aircraft rinsing with clear water after a mission is one of the most effective methods for removing contaminants, salt, or sand that contribute to corrosion. We have developed several low-pressure, high-volume systems for washing and clear water rinsing fixed-wing and rotary aircraft of all configurations, giving flight line personnel, crew chiefs, and maintenance departments the tools they need to combat corrosion.

Aircraft Wash & Rinse FAQs

What is a clear water rinse system?

A clear water rinse system removes salt, sand, and other contaminants from aircraft surfaces using low-pressure, high-volume fresh water. Our BirdBath Clear Water Rinse System (CWRS) is a taxi-through version that rinses even the largest aircraft in under two minutes.

What's the difference between the Aircraft Tactical Rinse System and the BirdBath Clear Water Rinse System?

The Aircraft Tactical Rinse System (TRS) is a fully deployable, above-grade system, built for units that need to relocate the system between bases or missions. The BirdBath Clear Water Rinse System (CWRS) is a permanently installed taxiway station built for high-frequency rinsing on an active flight line.

What does the Aircraft Rinse Cart (ARC) meet in terms of military standards?

The Aircraft Rinse Cart (ARC) meets the military aircraft rinsing and pressure guidelines in TM 1-1500-344-23-2, part of the NAVAIR Aircraft Cleaning and Corrosion Control Technical Manual.

Can aircraft be washed indoors?

Yes. The In-Hangar Aircraft Washing System is a zero-emissions, skid-mounted unit that runs on existing hangar power and water connections, with no facility modifications needed.
