3 <br /> The removed contaminants being dispositioned in the clarifier <br /> are gravity flown out of the clarifier on to a paper bed filter <br /> (PBF) . The PBF utilizes a 80 micron filter cloth laid out on top <br /> of an automatically indexing chain bed. The chain bed is <br /> operated by a drive motor. The sludge falls onto the paper and <br /> is allowed time to "drip dry" . The sludge coming out of the <br /> clarifier is approximately 4% solids (40, 000 PPM) . By using the <br /> paper bed filter the sludge will then become approximately <br /> 100, 000 to 200, 000 PPM solids. This dramatically reduces the <br /> weight and bulk of the contaminants so that they may be <br /> discarded. Further drying of the sludge takes place by <br /> evaporation. In the dry outdoor atmosphere at Panella Trucking <br /> this sludge will become a dry flaky cake. <br /> Since the Redux system will not recycle 100% of the waste water <br /> a "hold and haul" tank will be used to store the portion of <br /> water not recycled the treated water storage tank. There is a <br /> valve and a flow meter which will afford exact measuring of the <br /> amount of water being put into this tank. The percentage of <br /> water pumped to this tank will be very small, approximately 1-2 <br /> gallons for every 100 gallons treated by the Redux process. At <br /> Panella' s discretion the "hold and haul" water will sucked from <br /> the tank by a vacuum truck be sent to a Publicly Owned Treatment <br /> Works (sewer) for final discharge. <br /> REDUX will be on hand to supervise the final installation of the <br /> water treatment equipment and initiate its start up. Once the <br /> process is functioning Redux will instruct Panella personnel in <br /> its functions and train them to operate and maintain the the <br /> equipment. <br /> REDUX CORPORATION <br /> 4-2-1991 <br /> Andrew W.
