191 <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 />P nella's discretion the 00hold 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.
