                                  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Through funding provided by the Environmental Protection Agency and the assistance of the Alaska
Department of Environmental  Conservation Pollution Prevention Program, a waste minimization
opportunity assessment was conducted at Coast Guard Base Ketchikan, Alaska. The SAIC audit team
collected information on the Base during a three-day site visit in October 1990, and through telephone
interviews of Coast Guard personnel from October through December 1990. Based on information
gathered about the waste generating processes, waste handling procedures, and quantities of waste
generated  at the facility, the audit team developed a number  of waste  minimization and waste
management alternatives for the most significant  waste streams. The feasibility of each option is
discussed within the report and recommendations are offered for the most favorable alternatives. In
addition, some general recommendations are presented for base-wide waste management and waste
reduction.

The audit  team  found that  there  are significant opportunities for waste minimization at Base
Ketchikan. Through the implementation of the following alternatives, the total hazardous waste
stream could be reduced by as much as 85%:

         Dockside oil/water separation
         Oil recycling
         Battery recycling
         Paint waste and thinner distillation
         Antifreeze purification
         Landfilling nonhazardous blasting waste.

Implementation of these alternatives would produce an increase in sewerable wastes and landf illable
solid wastes over current levels, but a significant overall reduction in waste toxicity. The total of new
equipment  costs for these waste minimization options is estimated at less than $45,350 (Table 1). The
total net annual  benefit from  implementing the  recommended alternatives is  estimated at over
$112,000.  Hazardous waste disposal costs could potentially be reduced to less than $90,000 per year.

These results are dependent on a few basic changes in waste handling at Base  Ketchikan.  They
include:

      1.  Segregation of waste streams
      2.  Determination of which wastes are hazardous

-------
      3.  Refraining from disposal of nonhazardous wastes as hazardous wastes
      4.  Pursuing recycling options.

Segregation of waste streams will permit the recycling/reuse of some wastes and the separation of
hazardous and nonhazardous constituents. Through this study, it became apparent that several wastes
are being disposed of as hazardous wastes which may not be hazardous, including antifreeze solutions,
bilge wastes, and used oil. If the preventive measures are taken up front to ensure that wastes are
segregated, and if the proper analysis of wastes is performed to provide some certainty in waste
designation, hazardous waste handling effort and disposal costs could be substantially reduced.  For
example, it is possible that  spent blasting grit is not  a hazardous waste.  This can be determined
through representative sampling and analysis; and if shown to be nonhazardous, blasting waste from
vessel paint stripping operations could be recycled  into the  manufacture of asphalt or concrete.

The summary table on the following page provides an overview of the alternatives considered most
favorable by the audit team for near-term implementation.  Each of the preferred options is listed
with its estimated capital cost, net annual benefit, and payback period. It is clear that the economics
of these waste minimization opportunities are advantageous. Other indirect benefits include decreased
liability for hazardous wastes, reduced effort in manifesting and recordkeeping, decreased likelihood
of regulatory infractions, reduced occupational hazards, and increased community and employee good
will.

                                 1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
 1.1   PURPOSE
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 has made a regional priority of actively
pursuing pollution prevention activities at federal facilities. Alaskan federal facilities generate the
largest volume of hazardous wastes of all generators in Alaska.  In response to Region 10's outreach
activities, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has requested technical assistance in exploring alternatives
for the reduction of solid and hazardous wastes at the Coast Guard Base in Ketchikan, Alaska.  In
addition, USCG is interested in implementing a waste minimization program in Ketchikan which
.could be transferred to other Coast Guard facilities in Alaska and possibly elsewhere in the country.

The purpose of this project was to develop a number of waste minimization options for U.S. Coast
Guard Base Ketchikan, addressing both hazardous and nonhazardous wastes. The first phase of the
project, which culminated in this report, involved an onsite audit of activities at the facility which
generate hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, selection of priority waste streams, and the subsequent
analysis of waste minimization alternatives for each of the waste streams or processes. The second
phase of the project will be the development of an implementation plan for the options selected by
the Coast Guard for application at Base Ketchikan.

This project was funded  by  the Environmental Protection Agency and  facilitated  through the
cooperation and participation of the Alaska Department of  Environmental Conservation (DEC)
Pollution Prevention Program.  The Coast Guard at Base Ketchikan, Civil Engineering Unit (CEU)
Juneau, and Maintenance Logistics Command (MLC) Pacific also cooperated and assisted in this
effort.

1.2   PURPOSE AND BENEFITS OF WASTE MINIMIZATION
The ultimate goal of waste minimization is to reduce present and future threats to human health and
the environment. Waste minimization is defined as the reduction of waste generated and subsequently
treated, stored, or disposed of, including (1) reduction of total volume or quantity of waste, and (2)
reduction of toxicity of the waste.  Waste minimization methods can be  grouped  into two  main
categories:   source reduction and  recycling.   Source reduction is any activity  which reduces or
eliminates the generation of waste at the source. One example of source reduction is the use of
filtration to extend the life of solvents in a parts washer, leading to the generation of less spent
solvent. Recycling includes the reuse or reclamation of used materials. In paper recycling, used paper

-------
is used for pulp to make new paper. Spent solvents can be reclaimed through distillation, and lead
can be reclaimed from lead acid batteries for reuse.

There are many ways that source reduction can be effected, including process changes, product
substitution, waste  stream segregation, material handling  improvements, and loss  prevention
procedures. Furthermore, there are many ways that materials can be reused or reclaimed, however
these methods are often affected by exterior influences such as market prices for recycled products
and the  availability of reclamation technology.  Figure 1-1 depicts the categories of  waste
minimization techniques.  EPA recommends the exploration of source reduction options first, to
minimize the generation of waste, and recycling options second, to maximize the reuse of materials.

In this report, both source reduction and recycling alternatives have been considered for the waste
streams selected. In addition, the audit team took a careful look at waste management practices at
Base Ketchikan.  Some of the options considered fall into the latter category and are not truly waste
minimization techniques, though they may result in significant savings in waste disposal costs.

There are both direct benefits of waste minimization and indirect benefits.  The analyses of waste
minimization and waste management options in this report focus primarily on the direct benefits to
the Coast Guard, i.e., savings in disposal and procurement costs. However, the indirect benefits of
waste minimization may be equally important.

One indirect benefit of waste minimization is reduction in liability.  Generation of less waste to be
disposed of translates to a smaller legal burden for the "cradle to grave" management of hazardous
waste both  on-  and offsite.   Less  hazardous waste also  means  less  effort in manifesting and
recordkeeping.  Reduction in toxicity  of materials or wastes and in quantity of hazardous  wastes
generated can decrease occupational hazards, thereby reducing the Coast Guard's liability for worker
health and safety.

Finally, a waste minimization program can generate good will in the community, enhance a facility's
public image, and foster a higher level  of concern for the environment in individuals.

1.3   PROCEDURES
In general, this project follows the EPA procedures outlined in the Waste Minimization Opportunity
Assessment Manual (EPA/625/7-88-003):  1) planning and organization, 2) assessment, 3) feasibility
analysis, and 4) implementation (Figure 1-2).  The project was initiated in September 1990 with a
meeting at Base Ketchikan to discuss the objectives and schedule of the project and to facilitate the
design of a work plan.  When the audit team arrived at the Base a few weeks later (October 1990), an
initial briefing was held to acquaint Coast Guard officials with the team members, discuss objectives
of the site visit, and organize the onsite information gathering process.

The audit team, comprised of SAIC staff and a representative of Alaska DEC Pollution Prevention
Program, spent three days at Base  Ketchikan and viewed  the areas where wastes are generated;
collected process information; interviewed  base personnel; identified waste management procedures;
and gathered information concerning waste generation, disposal methods and costs, and local waste
handling/reduction programs.

The audit team continued to collect information from the Coast Guard by phone after the site visit.
The audit team identified the most significant waste streams based on the quantity of waste generated
and associated disposal costs.

Each process that resulted in generation of a significant waste stream was analyzed. Options for waste
reduction in each of those processes were identified and evaluated for their potential applicability at
Base  Ketchikan.   In  addition, several facility-wide recommendations  for waste reduction and
improvements in waste management were made.

During the second phase of this project, an implementation plan will be developed  based  on the
options selected by the Coast Guard.

1.4   ORGANIZATION OF THE REPORT
The remainder of this report contains four chapters and seven appendices.  Chapter 2  describes the
facilities at Base Ketchikan, organization by departments, process descriptions and waste generation
from each process or area, and waste management procedures. Chapter 3 presents the  results of the

                               2.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION

2-1   OVERVIEW OF BASE OPERATIONS
2.1.1  Current OoeratiQny
Although a Coast Guard facility has occupied the eight-acre site at the south end of the city of
Ketchikan in southeast Alaska for many years, Base Ketchikan was established organizationally in
July 1989. Over 100 Coast Guard and civilian personnel work at the Base.  The primary functions
of Base Ketchikan are to maintain several hundred aids to navigation (ATON) in Alaskan waters, and
to support and maintain several Coast Guard cutters and boats. These vessels are used for search and
rescue operations,  law enforcement,  and ATON maintenance.  The  facility has  several  tenant
commands, which are:

      •  Group Ketchikan
      •  Marine Safety Detachment (search and rescue)
      •  USCGC Naushon
      •  USCGC Planetree.

The Planetree is a 180-foot buoy tender with 55 personnel on board, and is the largest of the vessels
supported by the Base. The Naushon is a 110-foot cutter employing a 16 person crew. It is one of
four 110-foot vessels maintained by Base Ketchikan.  Smaller vessels are home-ported and/or
maintained at the Base as well, including three 41-foot aluminum-hulled cutters, two of which are
based in  Ketchikan, a 42-foot training vessel based in Sitka, and a steel-hulled 65-foot cutter based
at Ketchikan. Coast Guard vessels are used for buoy maintenance, search and rescue operations, and
enforcement duties.

Table 2-1 summarizes the departmental organization of Base Ketchikan.  "Station" is the department
which  is responsible for Ketchikan-based boat operations. Station performs all above waterline
maintenance and repair of vessels.  The Industrial Department ("Industrial") is responsible for vessel
maintenance and repair below the waterline. Comprised of six shops (Table 2-1), Industrial performs
all of the dry blasting on both vessels and buoys. Buoys are periodically overhauled, a process in
which the wiring, lighting, and bell equipment is removed, the paint is stripped off by blasting, any
repairs which are needed are performed, and the unit is repainted.

The Public Works Department is responsible for maintenance of Base Ketchikan buildings, vehicles,
housing,  utilities, and waste management. The Medical/Dental Center on base provides out-patient
health care and dental service to Coast Guard personnel.  Most of the purchasing is conducted by the

Supply Department (Comptroller), which orders supplies through the federal supply system and other
channels as needed. The "Surf and Galley," mess deck, and warehouse are also Supply Department
responsibilities.  Non-Appropriated Funds Activities (NAFA) include the Base exchange and the
Taffrail Club, an all-hands club.

2.1.2  Facility Improvements
At the time of the  site visit, the buoy shed was undergoing renovation. The renovation project was
completed in January 1991, providing an expanded paint booth, an enclosed buoy blasting room,
employing a custom-designed recyclable steel shot  blasting  system, and improved paint  storage
accommodations.  Full operations in  the  buoy shed  were resumed  in January.   Designs for
improvements to the marine ways (dry dock for boat repair) are currently being developed by the
Facility Design & Construction Center (FD&CC) in Seattle. Construction is anticipated to begin in
mid-  to  late 1991, to be completed six  to nine months later. The improvements will  include
completion of walls on the north, east, and west sides of the ways, and the addition of a second roof
high enough to accommodate the superstructures on the 110-foot cutters which are maintained at the
Base.

2.2   MAJOR WASTE-GENERATING ACTIVITIES
2.2.1  Buov Maintenance
There are a total of 1,316 floating light units in Alaskan waters that are the responsibility of the Coast
Guard, in addition to approximately 300 seasonal navigation aids statewide.  One of the primary
functions of Coast Guard Base Ketchikan is maintaining approximately 300 aids to navigation, most
of which are steel  buoys.  Preventive maintenance is performed on all aids to navigation annually.
This  includes battery replacement, wiring repairs,  maintenance of lights  and bells, checking
lighthouse generators, and checking anchors.  A steel buoy has an expected useful life of 30 years,
after which maintenance costs become unacceptably high. The buoy hulls are overhauled every five
to six years, and repairs are made as needed when the buoys are damaged.  Up to 150 buoys can be
repaired/overhauled in a single year. At Base Ketchikan, an average of 82 buoys are overhauled per
year,  of various sizes and types.

The overhaul process involves the following:

      •  A buoy tender removes the buoy from the water;
      •  The buoy is pressure sprayed to remove barnacles and other marine  growth;
910521.0150
sl/ketchikan/wastemin.doc

-------
      • The buoy is brought to the Base where its wiring and bells are removed;

      • The hull is blasted to remove all layers of paint and to prepare the steel surface for
        repainting;

      • Body repairs are made;

      • The hull is blown down to remove any remaining dust or grit;

      • Primer coat is applied;

      • Two additional layers of paint are applied;

      • The buoy is prepared for replacement at a designated location.


Wastes generated in the process of buoy maintenance and overhaul include the following materials:


        Batteries
        Blasting waste (blasting  media and paint dust)
        Waste paints
        Thinners
        Paint slops.


2.2.2  Vessel Maintenance

All Coast Guard vessels are routinely maintained according to a preventive maintenance schedule.

This includes engine maintenance with oil changes and coolant replacement, periodic maintenance

of all systems on board, and an overhaul approximately once every five years. Base  Ketchikan

performs repairs and maintenance on five to ten Coast Guard vessels in the marine ways each year.

Paint removal from both aluminum and steel hulled vessels is accomplished by  dry blasting using

blasting media made from granulated smelter slag or garnet.  Steel shot cannot be used for paint

removal on aluminum surfaces because it damages the aluminum.


Wastes generated in the process of Coast Guard vessel maintenance  and overhaul include the
following:


        Waste oil
        Coolant
        Bilge
        Spent blasting media
        Paint waste
        Thinner
        Solvents.

2.3   WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES
2.3.1  Hazardous Waste Management
Base Ketchikan is a large quantity hazardous waste generator.  It is also the receiving site  for
hazardous  wastes  generated by Coast Guard  units in  Southeast  Alaska considered satellite
accumulation points.  [Satellite accumulation points are defined in 40 CFR 262.34(c).]  Hazardous
waste management policy and procedures for the Base are documented in several Coast  Guard
directives, including USCC Croup Ketchikan Hazardous Waste Management Plan (Group Ketchikan
Instruction 16478) and the Hazardous Waste Management Plan (Commandant Instruction M16478.1 A).

For the past two years, hazardous materials/waste coordination has been the responsibility of a Chief
Warrant Officer (Jeff Hurst) reporting to the head of the Industrial Department.  This officer has
carried this responsibility along with several other collateral duties.  As of December 1990, this
responsibility was transferred to the duties of the Chief Warrant Officer serving as the head of Public
Works (John Prill).

There is an uncovered, fenced and locked concrete pad which serves as the hazardous waste  storage
area (HWSA) on the Base. A 5-inch concrete curb runs the perimeter of the pad, equipped with a
drain at one corner. A documentation system is in place to facilitate the handling of hazardous waste
which is transferred to the HWSA. For each container of waste, a "Hazardous Waste Transfer Sheet"
is completed and submitted to the hazardous materials coordinator, who then moves the container of
waste into the HWSA.  The transfer sheets identify the source of the waste, the quantity, the type
of waste,  type of container, date of transfer, and provide space for comments.

The  hazardous materials coordinator is  responsible for  the proper  identification, packaging,
manifesting, and shipment of hazardous waste offsite.  The coordinator handles hazardous waste
generated by the tenant units and satellite accumulation areas as well as from the  Base itself.  In
addition,  the coordinator is responsible for submitting the annual Generator Reports required by
Alaska DEC and  biennial Generator Reports required by EPA.   A waste inventory report  is
maintained by the hazardous material coordinator on  the Base mainframe computer. There is also a
hazardous materials inventory report which is updated twice a year.

Liquid wastes are drummed in standard DOT open top or bung top steel containers.  Batteries are
stored and shipped in special plastic totes. Wastes in small containers or in damaged containers are
 910521.0150                                   2-6
 sl/ketch i kan/wastemi n.doc

-------
placed in overpack drums with absorbent filling the voids. Wastes for which there is no identifying
information available are sampled and analyzed.  Typically, hazardous waste shipments occur every
90 days.

Hazardous waste disposal service is obtained by contract administered by CEU Juneau. The current
contract includes six pickup points at Coast Guard facilities in Alaska, of which Ketchikan is one.
The contract addresses transport and delivery to one or more approved treatment/storage/disposal
(TSD) facilities in the Pacific Northwest.  Current disposal practices at Base Ketchikan include the
containment and shipment offsite of all bilge waste, waste oils, spent batteries, used blasting  grit,
spent solvents, paint wastes, and miscellaneous hazardous wastes through the hazardous waste disposal
contract.

2.3.2 Nonhazardous Solid Waste Management
Unusable and surplus equipment and usable scrap materials are handled through  the  Defense
Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) in Anchorage. The DRMO may find a use for the
material and coordinate with Base Ketchikan for its delivery to the federal  facility which needs it.
The DRMO generally manages only large unused or broken down equipment, and seems reluctant to
manage scraps and equipment  or materials with small dollar values.

Solid waste is disposed of at the Ketchikan solid waste landfill, located about one-half mile from the
Base. Three 2-1/2 cubic yard dumpsters on Base accumulate cardboard, packing materials, paper,
discarded containers, food waste, nonhazardous  industrial waste, and other miscellaneous trash.
Tongass Sanitation collects the trash from the dumpsters and hauls it to the  landfill three times per
week. Additional material may warrant hauling on an unscheduled basis by the Coast Guard, which
hauls discarded material  and scrap equipment in a pickup truck to the landfill.

Recently, the Executive Officer installed recycling bins for aluminum cans next to the pop machines
in a few locations on the Base. This is the first recycling effort to be initiated at the facility.

Contaminated medical waste is delivered to Ketchikan Hospital in special biohazard bags, where it
is incinerated. Expired Pharmaceuticals are disposed in one of three ways:  injectibles are taken to
the Ketchikan hospital and exchanged for new products; tablets are disposed of in the biohazard bags;
and controlled substances and liquids are flushed into the sewer system.

sl/ketchikan/wastetnin.doc                       2

-------
2.3.3 Sanitary Waste Management
Base Ketchikan sends all of its sanitary waste into the city sewer system, for which it is charged a flat
rate. Coast Guard vessels  usually retain their sanitary waste and gray water in holding tanks until
they return to the Base where they are pumped directly  into the sewer.

2-4   WASTE GENERATION BY UNIT AND AREA
The major waste streams generated at Base Ketchikan are:

         Blasting waste
         Bilge waste
         Waste oil
         Batteries
         Paint waste
         Solvents
         Antifreeze
         OBA canisters
         Paper
         Glass, aluminum, plastic.

Contributions to several of these waste streams are made  by different processes and functional units.
Brief descriptions of each shop or unit's operations and significant wastes generated are presented in
the following paragraphs. This information is based on interviews with shop and unit personnel and
is not based on sampling or other sources.

2.4.1 USCGC Planetree
The Planetree is a 180-foot buoy tender with twin diesel engines and a single screw. It is used to haul
out and replace buoys, and to do some buoy maintenance on board.  Each engine uses 20 gallons of
Nalcool (an engine protectant) and 480 gallons of water. The coolant mixture is changed out every
two years, normally while the ship is in the shipyard for repairs or maintenance. Base Ketchikan does
not normally receive this coolant waste. Bilge is run through an oil/water separator on board and the
water is pumped overboard.  The oil is retained in a 500-gallon holding tank, then drummed when
the vessel is docked. Approximately 50 to 100 gallons of this oil/diesel/water mixture is generated
per month and transferred to Base Ketchikan, where it is prepared for shipment offsite as hazardous
waste.

sl/ketchikan/wastenrin.doc

-------
The engines each use 80 gallons of lubricating oil.  Samples are sent out periodically to a lab for
testing. When the samples indicate that the oil is no longer adequate, the oil is changed. Used oil is
drummed and disposed as hazardous waste  by the Base,  approximately once  a year.  The  ship's
generators use seven gallons of oil each. The oil is changed every 250 hours of operation, or about
once per quarter. This oil is pumped into the bilge oil tank.  According to the Planetree's Engineering
Officer, this oil  could be separated from the other bilge oil and handled separately, but the current
setup combines the two.

Three types of batteries are collected from the aids to navigation (ATON) and other units serviced
by the Planetree. They are two types from ATON buoys and towers (both solar-powered), and one
type of lead-acid battery which resembles a car battery.  These are separated by type and placed in
plastic totes, which are then disposed as hazardous waste from Ketchikan.

Currently, trash generated on board is bagged and placed in a dumpster at the Base. According to
the Engineering Officer, paper trash could be separated on board from aluminum cans but currently
this is not the practice.

Sewage is collected in a sewage tank, then pumped into the sanitary sewer system at Ketchikan (or
another port) when the ship is docked.  Gray water is held separate from the sewage, and can be
pumped overboard, but ordinarily it is also sewered. The Planetree has the capability of making fresh
water, but ordinarily does not use the system.  USCG policy restricts the use of water distillation units
when the ship is within 12 miles of shore.

2.4.2 USCGC Naushon
The Naushon is a twin-engined 110-foot cutter, whose primary functions are law enforcement and
search and rescue.  Occasionally, the Naushon will also perform ATON maintenance  functions. The
vessel's diesel engines each use 85 gallons of lubricating oil which is changed three times per year
(every 500 hours of operation).  Each engine uses 120 gallons of coolant, a 30 to 50% mixture of
Paxcool (engine  protectant) and water.  The coolant  is replaced every  two years and disposed  as
hazardous waste  from Ketchikan.

The Naushon does not have an oil/water separation unit on board. The vessel generates approximately
200 gallons of bilge per quarter, which is pumped into drums at Ketchikan and disposed as hazardous
waste.   The only degreasing agent currently used on board is "Simple Green," a biodegradable
emulsifying cleaner.

st/ketchikan/Hastemin.doc

-------
Trash is collected on board in large plastic trash bags and disposed in a dumpster on Base. There is
no separation of paper or aluminum wastes.

The Naushon's sanitary waste and gray water is retained on board in separate holding tanks until they
can be pumped  into the sewer at Ketchikan or another port.

2.4.3  Station
Station, formerly known as the Boat Operations Department, is responsible for maintenance and repair
of vessels above the waterline. The Industrial Department is responsible for all boat maintenance and
repair below the waterline and all sandblasting operations.  According to the Station shop head,
lubricating oil on the two Ketchikan-based vessels maintained by Station is replaced every 100 hours
of operation.  Reduction gear oil is changed once per year.  Each vessel generates approximately 14
gallons of used  oil per quarter.  Antifreeze or coolant  solution is replaced every two years, at a
minimum. Station collects roughly one drum of used antifreeze solution per quarter which is disposed
as hazardous waste.  Bilge waste is pumped and drummed by Station, totaling  about two drums per
quarter.  A small parts washer located in the shop uses a Stoddard-type solvent, and generates about
10 gallons of spent solvent per  year.  "Simple Green"  is also used as a general solvent/cleaner.
Occasionally, liquid paint remover is used on the boats, resulting in paint wastes including thinner,
paint sludge and solids.

2.4.4  Industrial Carpenter Shoo
The Industrial Department is comprised of six shops, as outlined in Table 2-1, one of which is the
Carpenter Shop, responsible for wooden structures and signs. The primary waste from the Carpenter
Shop is sawdust, which is  piped by vacuum from each machine to a cyclone separator, and disposed
as solid waste (in the landfill). On Base, some spray paints and lacquer are used. A large vacuum heat
press  is located  in the Carpenter Shop for the construction of sea and land-based "day boards"
(navigational signs). Vapors from the press are vented to the outside. Scrap wood is left in a bin in
the shop, and employees can take scraps for their home use.

The carpentry staff often travels in support of the entire 17th Coast Guard District.  Several shop
personnel are certified to  perform asbestos  removal.  Any asbestos related work at Base Ketchikan
is conducted by  the Carpenter Shop.

s I/ketch ikan/was temin.doc

-------
2.4.5  Industrial Machine Shop
The Industrial Machine Shop is responsible for repair and maintenance of diesel engines, refilling
carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, and for pipefitting activities.  According to the foreman, wastes
from this shop include crankcase oil (two drums per year), hydraulic fluid (three to four drums per
year), antifreeze (10 gallons per year), cutting oils, grease, a small amount of paint waste, and spent
solvents and sludges. The shop employs a small parts washer which generates three to four drums per
year of spent solvent  ("Chevron 325").  A large parts washer, aptly named the "gunk tank," uses a
heated solution of carbon removing compound to clean oil, grease, and carbon deposits from diesel
engine blocks. The gunk tank holds about 100 gallons of compound and is cleaned out once or twice
per year, producing about 10 gallons of sludge each time.  The solvent and sludge are  drummed and
disposed as hazardous waste.

2.4.6  Industrial Electrical Shop
The Industrial Electrical Shop services electric motors, starters, generators, and controllers for Base
equipment, equipment at remote sites, and equipment on Coast Guard vessels. The shop uses a
trichloroethane (TCA)-based solvent  for cleaning most electrical equipment because it will not
corrode wire or leave  a residue. The shop uses less than  55 gallons of TCA per year. Most of this
solvent is sprayed on, generating an airborne waste and not a solid waste. Other wastes generated by
the Electrical Shop include aerosol spray cans, small containers, paper, packing material, styrofoam,
and other miscellaneous non-hazardous wastes.

2.4.7  Electronic Systems Technicians
The Electronic Systems Technicians are responsible for repair and maintenance of radio, radar, and
A/C power equipment.  Because of the increasing use of circuit boards rather than  individual
components, very little soldering is now done in this shop. Rebuilding of radar antennas usually
involves the use of TCA-based solvents (from spray cans) and paint.  Small parts are cleaned in an
uncovered TCA bath (a coffee can), which is drained infrequently. The shop generates one 30-gallon
drum per year of waste solvents.

2.4.8  Telecommunications Technicians
The Telecommunications Technicians service communications-related electronic  equipment  and
telephones on Base, as well as equipment at LORAN stations and on Coast Guard vessels for which
the Base is responsible.  Base equipment includes the switchboard,  public address system, and cabling.

-------
The shop generates little waste, including some scrap wire and cable, a small amount of TCA-based
solvent, and miscellaneous trash.

2.4.9  Industrial Metal Trades Shoo
The Metal Trades  Shop,  part of the Industrial Department, is responsible for all metalworking
activities, blasting  and painting.  Metal Trades is subdivided into five areas:  Sheet Metal Shop,
Welding  Shop, Metal Fabrication, Paint Shop, and the Buoy Shed.  Primary activities of the Metal
Trades Shop are buoy  overhaul (including blasting, repair, and painting), and vessel hull blasting,
repair, and painting. Scrap metal generated by the Sheet Metal Shop is saved if it appears usable.
Small pieces or unusable shapes are discarded or donated to a local high school. Welding is performed
inside the Industrial Building. The audit team noted that welding fumes may not be adequately
exhausted based on visual observation of welding operations in progress.

When blasting operations are conducted on a vessel in the marine ways, a plastic dropcloth is first laid
on the ground to help contain the paint and blasting grit/dust. The ways is partially enclosed and the
roof extends only partway over the larger cutters.  Some  blasting  grit and paint dust escapes  the
confines of the ways and dropcloths, and reaches the sand under the ways and probably the sediments
below the waterline as well.  Base personnel reported that the blasting  grit is reduced to powder in
a single application, preventing the  recycling of it. Paint chips and dust are mixed in with the grit.
The presence of lead, chromium, and other metals in the paint dust can cause the blasting waste to
be designated as hazardous waste.  In addition, surface pretreatment compounds have been used in
the past  to aid in paint removal.  The presence of toxic constituents in these compounds may also
cause blasting waste to be designated as hazardous. After many years of blasting at this location,
blasting  waste grit  which  had escaped  retrieval had accumulated on the ground.  In 1990, several
thousand pounds of surface soil containing spent grit and paint dust below the ways was excavated
and drummed for hazardous waste disposal.

Designs are currently underway to expand the marine ways to accommodate larger craft and provide
more complete enclosure of vessels, as mentioned in Section 2.1.2.

The buoy shed was refurbished over the fall of 1990. A new blasting booth was constructed which
employs  a steel shot blasting and recycling system. After blasting, the shot falls into a central trough
in the concrete floor and is conveyed back into  the hopper automatically by a screw conveyor.  As
it enters the hopper, the shot is air separated (presumably by cyclone or similar device), partitioning

-------
the paint dust, steel dust, and reusable shot. The manufacturer of this system (CAB Systems) claims
the shot will endure 200 blasting cycles. Other sources1 state typical rates of five to six cycles before
steel shot breaks down to a point where it becomes too inefficient for reuse.

2.4.10  Public Works Department
Public Works includes four shops, the hazardous waste storage area, barracks, and the gym. The audit
team collected information on waste generation at the Carpenter Shop, Vehicle Maintenance and the
"Hobby Lobby," the Utilities Shop, and the Electrical  Maintenance Shop. The operations at these
shops support the Base itself: building upkeep, systems and utilities maintenance, and maintenance
of shore vehicles. The Hobby Lobby provides space and tools for employees to work on their personal
vehicles.

Wastes generated in the Carpenter Shop include wood scraps, sawdust, a small amount of paint waste,
lacquer, adhesive, and packing materials.  As in the Industrial Carpenter Shop, sawdust is pulled by
vacuum into a hopper and placed in a dumpster.  Almost all of the wastes from this shop appeared
to be  landfilled.

Wastes from the Utilities Shop and Electrical Maintenance Shop include scrap pipe and wire, unusable
small  metal and plastic electrical parts, and miscellaneous trash.  The audit team did not find anyone
in these two shops to interview.

Waste oils, spent antifreeze solutions, used batteries, and solvents are wastes generated by the Vehicle
Maintenance Shop and Hobby Lobby.  Accumulation drums for used oil and antifreeze were located
in the shop. A small parts washer was also located in the Vehicle Maintenance area, which used a
petroleum distillate solvent such as Stoddard solvent. According to the head of Vehicle Maintenance,
every effort was made to keep waste oil separate from other wastes in the Vehicle Maintenance Shop.
He operates a waste oil  heater in the shop which  runs about five months per year,  supplying
supplemental heat to the Vehicle Maintenance, Hobby Lobby, and Motor Pool areas in the building.
The waste oil heater has been in place since late 1989.  It currently has about 500 gallons of reserve
oil, and cannot accommodate any additional sources of  oil from other points on Base. The heater is
thermostatically controlled, and burns  approximately one gallon of oil per hour when it is running.

-------
Airless spray guns (Binks Super 1) are used for buoy and hull painting. Several different types of
paint are used, depending on requirements of the painted surface. Some epoxy primers may only be
applied down to 50°F, and therefore cannot be used in the marine ways for painting boats in the
winter. The Paint Shop uses a methyl ethyl ketone (MEK.) based thinner.  Waste paints are stored in
a locker with a lock (not always locked) outside the Paint Shop. Solvents and other hazardous wastes
from the vessels are often deposited in the wrong drums, causing mixing of the wastes. An estimated
2 drums of paint slops and thinners are produced per month by the Paint Shop.

When the buoy surface is ready for painting, the first coat of epoxy primer is applied, usually taking
about an hour. This coat dries for about eight hours before the second coat is applied. One primer
is red and the other black to avoid confusion when applying the second coat.  Binder coats are then
applied, and finally an all gray rubber coat. Vinyl and enamel paints are used above the water line,
and antifouling paint below the waterline. With proper storage, these paints reportedly have a shelf
life of 6 to 8 years. The estimated quantity of paint used per 30-foot buoy is 24-26 gallons.

Vessel bottoms are now being painted with a rubberized coating instead of the organic antifouling
paint used previously. According to the head painter, approximately  100 gallons of paint are used
to coat one vessel hull.  Lighthouses receive three coats of epoxy paint.

Ventilation exhaust filters in the paint room are changed once a month, generating about one drum
of hazardous waste per change. Intake filters are rubberized filters which are replaced every six
months.

2.3.11  Medical/Dental Department
The Base  medical center includes a pharmacy, out-patient clinic, and dental office and laboratory.
Expired Pharmaceuticals are either exchanged for fresh products or disposed of appropriately (Section
2.3.2). Waste from medical procedures are deposited in a biohazard bag, two of which (about 75%
filled) are delivered to the Ketchikan Hospital every week, where they are incinerated. Sharps are
placed in special sharps containers. About one quart of acetone is used per year.  Live viruses (from
cultures) are injected with acetone, then autoclaved. No laboratory analyses are performed on the
Base other than blood cell counts, cultures, and urinalysis.  Blood is sent offsite for any other
additional analysis.  No medical x-rays are performed at  the medical center.
910521.0150
sl/ketchikan/wasteflrin.doc

-------
Dental X-rays are produced onsite.  The developing machine employs an automatic replenishment
system that eliminates the need to change out developer and fixer solutions. About three gallons of
Kodak developer/fixer are used per week.  Rinsate goes directly into the sewer drain.  In addition
to these chemicals, sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is used in the dental area (about one gallon per week
of a 10:1 solution in water). Very small amounts of mercury amalgam and other dental compounds
are disposed of as hazardous waste.

2.3.12   Gallev
The Galley, operated by a contractor (currently "Big Boy") contains a kitchen and dining areas and
serves all Base personnel. The Galley is under the direction of the Supply Department. Government
issue caustic cleaners are no longer used in the kitchen and dining areas. Approximately one gallon
of highly concentrated grease stripping product ("Grease Strip" by Ecolab) is used per year.  One
gallon per week of a standard kitchen degreaser is also used. The filters in the hood are cleaned three
times per week with a degreaser.

"Solid Power"  is used in  the dishwasher (an industrial Hobart "Sanitizer").  Dishwasher operations
include a prewash  and  post rinse.   A 150 ppm chlorine additive is  used for sanitary purposes.
Approximately three cups per week of lime remover is used to descale the dishwasher.  Floor soaps
are used for scrubbing the floor. Chlorine bleach is used regularly.  The floors are stripped and
waxed periodically. Most cleaning is done with rags which are washed and reused. Spills are cleaned
up with paper towels.

Tin cans discarded by the Galley are used by Industrial. Aluminum foil is avoided. Cardboard boxes
are flattened and not reused, filling half a dumpster per week. Slop food is disposed in the trash and
landfilled. The  kitchen used  to provide food wastes to a local pig farmer, but this is no longer an
option.  Apparently neither the Base nor the local landfill has pursued composting of food wastes.
Stored food is rotated, and usually offered at two meals once prepared. The Galley estimates that less
than 1% of prepared foods are disposed in the garbage.

Approximately six pots of coffee are made daily. Paper cups are now provided for coffee that is
carried out of the dining room.

2-4.13   Administration
The  Administration Building  houses  the Base  administrative staff,  switchboard, and  radio
communications facility. The major wastes generated there are white paper and miscellaneous trash.
No figures were available for the base-wide consumption of paper. There are eight or nine copying
machines on Base, three of which are used by Industrial. There are also about eight laserjet printers
(Canon) on the Base. LaserJet cartridges are replaced at a rate of about four per machine per year.
                                                     •
Spent cartridges are disposed of in the trash and landfilled.

2.4.14   Procurement
Supplies are purchased  in several ways at Base Ketchikan. Purchase orders can be initiated by any
of the functional departments.  All orders go through the Base Comptroller.  Most materials are
ordered through the federal supply system. (The Base has no control over the brand, quality, or toxic
nature of goods ordered through the government supply system.) The excess property list is first
consulted to identify whether the material could be procured from another facility, and whether it
could be delivered by the required date.  Special orders may be placed through commercial suppliers
if justified, usually because of the non-availability  of government-issue equivalent, or if time
constraints preclude waiting for government-issue supplies. In addition, materials may be obtained
from the "83 stock" or through "SF44" authority, explained below.

The Base currently enjoys an annual $74,000 supply fund, called "83 stock," which is used to purchase
items commonly used on base or for which a need can be anticipated in advance.  The "83 stock" is
stored in the warehouse on base and can be accessed much more quickly than ordering supplies
through the federal supply system. Approximately 75% of the current inventory is paint.   Coast
Guard Headquarters is considering reducing this fund  to $16,000 per year because the turnover rate
is so low (30% per year on a cost basis). The base Comptroller believes the "83 stock" is underutilized
because potential users are  not acquainted with the system and may not realize what materials are in
stock. An explanatory letter has been sent to all units to help inform base personnel.

"SF44" authority is provided only to large vessels to purchase items commercially rather than through
government supply. This  allows the unit to make purchases away from its home port or  other
government supply depots.

All purchased goods received by the facility are delivered to the warehouse.  This includes goods
purchased for other Coast Guard units and stored at Base Ketchikan until pickup is accomplished.

-------
 Goods are distributed to pallets in the warehouse marked with the shop which ordered the supplies.
 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are generally provided for all new materials.

 In some instances, goods are available only in large quantities, resulting in the delivery of a case of
 paint, for example, when only one 12 ounce can was needed.  This can result in excess quantities of
 material in storage; limited storage space or inadequate storage may lead to product degradation or
 exceeding the product's shelf life, resulting in the disposal of unusable goods. Shelf life problems
 seem to be especially critical for paints.  In the past, paints have been stored in unheated lockers and
 ruined by freezing. This paint is disposed of as hazardous waste. The new paint storage facility will
 be heated.
2.5   POTENTIAL BARRIERS TO WASTE MINIMIZATION AT BASE KETCHIKAN
In any situation, there may be barriers of one sort or another that can impede the attainment of stated
objectives. In attempting waste minimization, Base Ketchikan is no exception. It appears that federal
facility commanders have the ultimate liability and responsibility for proper waste disposal, but this
authority does not always  include  the  authority and  funding to manage a waste  handling or
environmental protection program effectively.  Some things are simply not within the control of the
Base decisionmakers, and economics are not necessarily the driving force behind change, as they often
are in the private sector. It is important,  nonetheless, to identify the barriers in the hopes that they
may be overcome.  Following is a list of  potential barriers that could affect the implementation of
waste minimization alternatives at Base Ketchikan.
Labor
      • In some areas,  Base Ketchikan  is short-handed; alternatives that would require
        additional labor hours may not be attractive.
      • Long-held practices or traditions may be resistant to change.
      • Morale and time/efficiency pressures can affect general housekeeping attitudes and
        practices.
      • Some options may be perceived as being infeasible or impractical because of former
        experience with an older technology; many waste minimization technologies have
        experienced accelerated improvements over the past two or three years.
      • Lack of specific training for employees and lack  of information on available waste
        minimization options can impede attempts at waste reduction.
910521.0150                                   j  .,
sl/ketchikan/wastemin.doc                       /-

-------
      • Turnover in the hazardous materials coordinator position and collateral duties assigned
         to that position may lead to discontinuity in a waste minimization program and a lack
         of emphasis on the importance of a fully integrated waste- minimization/management
         program.


Procuremept

      • There is no  connection between material procurement  and waste management;
         alternatives that reduce disposal costs may not be recognized because they may not
         reduce procurement costs. And vice versa, options that reduce procurement costs may
         not be recognized because they may not reduce disposal costs.

      • Likewise, a purchase order in the federal supply system cannot necessarily specify a
         recycled material or a product of lower toxicity.

      • Product substitutions may be difficult if they cannot be obtained through the federal
         supply system.


Accounting and Administration

      • Costs and benefits of waste minimization options do not all accrue to the Base. CEU
         Juneau pays  for hazardous  waste  disposal; Ketchikan pays for new equipment,
         materials, and training.

      • Some alternatives may be perceived as being too expensive despite their positive fiscal
         benefits.

      • Contractual agreements  may  hinder implementation  of some  waste reduction
         alternatives.

      • Administrative effort,  such as creating  additional contracts, may hinder waste
         reduction options.

      • Waste  minimization tracking may be a difficult task, due in part to some of the issues
         mentioned above.

      • Some decisions may lie outside the purview of the Base command or CEU Juneau.


Despite these potential constraints, because the Coast Guard at Base Ketchikan and CEU Juneau are

genuinely interested in pursuing waste minimization alternatives, effective strategies can be developed

to achieve pollution prevention goals.  As the benefits of waste reduction become better understood,
in the future some of the larger issues, such as procurement within the federal supply system, might
be addressed on a Coast Guard-wide basis.  A  waste  minimization task force has recently been

established at Coast Guard Headquarters to evaluate waste minimization opportunities and plan for

future waste minimization activities.

 2.6   POTENTIAL AIDS TO WASTE MINIMIZATION AT BASE KETCHIKAN

 Where there exist potential barriers to waste minimization at Base Ketchikan, there are also potential

 aids. These  include current management attitudes, documentation systems in place, and specific

 activities or  equipment already implemented that will facilitate a base-wide reduction in waste

 generation. The are briefly described below.


 Administration

      • Both the Base Commander and the Executive Officer are in favor of establishing a
         waste minimization program at Base Ketchikan.

      • Many of the Coast Guard and civilian staff are aware of environmental issues and
         recognize the need  for and benefits of waste minimization.
         CEU Juneau is actively pursuing waste minimization management alternatives which
         may benefit Base Ketchikan.
 Labor
      •  A position of hazardous materials coordinator has already been established and filled
         at Base Ketchikan.

      •  In at least one of the shops on base, a waste coordinator has been designated to oversee
         the collection and handling of wastes in that particular area.

      •  Use of  the hazardous  waste transfer  sheets  on the  Base provides for better
         identification of wastes,  serves to  heighten awareness among  all personnel about
         handling  hazardous  waste, and provides a basis for tracking  waste  minimization
         progress.
Activities and Equipment

      • The new blasting booth employing a steel shot blasting and  recycling system is
        anticipated to reduce blasting waste from the buoy shed significantly over previous
        levels.

      • Changing from toxic lead-based paints to non-toxic coatings Coast Guard-wide will
        help minimize paint wastes and paint removal/blasting wastes significantly.  Though
        the overall quantity of wastes may be unchanged, the toxicity of these two waste
        streams will be considerably reduced.

      • Replacement of ATON batteries with the new solar-rechargeable types will reduce
        battery wastes significantly, due to the longer life of the solar-powered batteries (five
        years vs. two to three years for the non-solar batteries).

      • Use of products like "Simple Green" instead of chlorinated degreasers/cleaners also
        helps reduce the toxicity of the solvent waste stream.

                            3.0 ASSESSMENT PHASE RESULTS

3.1   SUMMARY OF BASE-WIDE HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION
In assessing the generation of hazardous waste from Base Ketchikan, the audit team reviewed several
sources of data and prepared summaries from the hazardous waste transfer sheets and delivery orders.
Hazardous waste transfer sheets are available for calendar year 1989 and from January to August
1990.  These transfer sheets are used internally  by Base personnel to facilitate the identification,
labeling, and handling of wastes generated at the various shops when they were conveyed to the
hazardous materials coordinator, who subsequently prepares the hazardous waste for shipment offsite.
The transfer sheets identify the source of the waste, the quantity, type of waste, type of container,
date of transfer, and provide space for comments.  An example hazardous waste transfer sheet is
provided in Figure 3-1.

Summary and analysis of the hazardous waste transfer sheet information revealed that the data contain
inherent uncertainties for the following reasons.

      • Personnel completing the sheets were not uniform in their interpretation of what
        information was requested on the sheets.
      • Personnel completing the sheets occasionally did not fully identify the type of waste
        and/or the quantity being transferred.
      • Terms used  for describing the types of waste were not uniform.  For example, waste
        oil was described as "contaminated waste oil," "waste oil," "oil, diesel, and water,"
        "9250," and  "water-oil  mixture."  Oil, diesel, and water could be unseparated bilge
        waste, containing approximately 95% water, or it could be an oil/diesel mixture  with
        a small amount  of water in it.  Therefore, summary estimates of particular waste
        streams required interpretation of waste descriptions which could affect the waste
        category in which they were included.

Although not 100% accurate, the transfer sheets were the best source of information for characterizing
hazardous waste generation from each shop. The delivery orders (shipment invoices) provided no
information on the source of the wastes, but provided actual quantity and disposal cost data for each
of the waste categories base-wide.

Delivery orders for hazardous waste shipments were available for January through August  1990.
These documents provided exact cost data for disposal of various waste categories for three shipments.
Comparison of these  data with those developed from the transfer sheets revealed some differences

in total quantities and/or costs calculated for each waste category or type.  These differences are
attributable to possible discrepancies in categorization of waste types, missing transfer sheets for some
wastes, misinterpretation of transfer sheet information, errors on the  transfer sheets, incorrect
assumptions as to weight or volume of particular wastes, or incomplete descriptions of some wastes.
Despite these differences, both sets of data enable the identification of the significant waste streams
for which minimization efforts could result in substantial cost reductions.  In addition, these data are
used in subsequent cost/benefit analyses of various options considered in this report for minimizing
waste production within individual processes.

No attempt was made to reconcile the two data sets, except where estimates of weight and volume
relationships could be revised to more accurately reflect known quantity information. Both sets of
information are useful for the objectives of this report.  The transfer sheets provide information as
to the source of wastes (i.e., which shop or vessel generated it) from which we have developed a
overview of unit- and process-specific waste generation.  The delivery orders provide an accurate
record of disposal costs for the  various waste streams, independent of waste sources.  Graphic
illustrations of the overall waste production  and costs  at Base Ketchikan are presented on  the
following pages (Figures 3-2 through 3-15). Key assumptions used in summarizing the data are listed
in Table 3-1.  The tabular data used in constructing the graphs are included with each figure.

3.2   SOLID HAZARDOUS WASTES
Figures 3-2 and 3-3 indicate that, of the types of hazardous solid waste produced at Base Ketchikan,
blasting waste represents the greatest quantity. In 1989, an estimated 29 tons of blasting waste were
generated,  and in the  first eight months of  1990, approximately  37 tons of  blasting waste were
produced.  Some of the  1990 blasting waste was spent grit and soil excavated from the marine ways.
Spent batteries comprise the  second most significant portion of the solid hazardous waste stream,
followed by absorbent and oxygen  breathing apparatus (OBA) canisters.  Spent OBA  canisters  are
generated primarily on CG vessels from emergency procedure drills. The canisters contain barium
oxide and are disposed of as hazardous waste. Usually "Scott packs" are used on shore in lieu of OBAs
for emergency drills and operations where breathing units are required. Due to space limitations on
board, OBAs are used on Coast Guard boats and cutters.

     DEFINITIONS AND KEY ASSUMPTIONS FOR INTERPRETATION OF
	HAZARDOUS WASTE TRANSFER SHEET DATA	

 • "Vessels" are all boats and cutters and a light house "ANT 17."  The vessels which
   transferred hazardous waste to Base Ketchikan in 1989 and through August 1990 are:

         CGC Naushon        CGC Cape Hatteras
         CGC Planetree       CGC Firebrush
         CGC Cape Carter     CGC Conifer
         CGC Sweetbrier      CGC Elderberry
         CGC Woodrush

 • "Stations" include Station Ketchikan, Station Juneau, and Loran Station Shoal Cove.

 • "Administration" includes administrative offices, medical clinic, and the galley.

 • "Industrial" and "Public Works" include all shop areas per Coast Guard
   organizational structure (Table 2-1).

 • When not specifically stated on the hazardous waste transfer sheets, contents
   described as a combination of water, oil, diesel (and antifreeze if present) were
   assigned to the "Bilge Waste" category.

 • "Paint Waste" includes wasted paint, paint slops, and solvents associated with painting
   (i.e., thinner waste).

 • "Waste Oil" consists of waste oil that is not contaminated with solvents, other fuels,
   antifreeze, or water. If any substances mentioned were identified, the volume of oil
   was categorized as "Contaminated Waste Oil."

 • "Solvents" include petroleum distillate and halogenated solvents but not thinners.

 • "Miscellaneous  Hydrocarbons" were usually  fuels (gasoline or diesel) or a hydrocarbon
   not assigned to other categories.

 • The "Unknown" category is for drum contents that were analyzed because
   accompanying paperwork was not completed.

 • Battery weight  totals were calculated based on known weights of specific battery
   types.  If battery types and quantities were not stated, assumptions were made
   consistent with known data.

 • Disposal cost data dfi not  include transportation fees, overhead, and profit unless
   otherwise  stated.

 Figures 3-4 and 3-5 indicate that Industrial is the greatest generator of hazardous solid wastes, which
 follows logically because all of the buoy blasting and hull paint removal is done by Industrial.  Vessels
 represent the second largest generator of solid hazardous wastes, attributable primarily to their
 delivery of spent batteries for disposal by the Base.

 3.3   LIQUID HAZARDOUS WASTES
 Among the liquid hazardous wastes, bilge waste is estimated at 35 to 37% of the total. Miscellaneous
 hydrocarbon waste (off-spec diesel fuel and gasoline), contaminated waste oil, and waste oil comprise
 from 26 to 46% of  the liquid hazardous waste stream in 1989 and 1990.  Paint wastes (10-16%),
 antifreeze/coolants  (1-10%), and solvents  (1-8%) are the other  significant  categories of liquid
 hazardous waste, as  depicted in Figures 3-6 and 3-7.

 From Figures 3-8 and 3-9, we find that the largest generators of liquid hazardous wastes in 1989 and
 1990 were:
         Vessels                     29-42%
         Stations                    19-37%
         Public Works               10-27%
         Industrial                  11-24%
         Administration             0.1-1%
 3.4    DISPOSAL COSTS
 Currently, the hazardous waste disposal contract is administered by CEU-Juneau for all Coast Guard
. facilities in Alaska.  Base Ketchikan is the largest generator of hazardous waste among Alaskan CG
 facilities.  In fiscal year 1989 (October 1988 through September  1989), the cost of hazardous waste
 disposal for wastes shipped from Base Ketchikan totaled $94,000.  In fiscal year 1990, Ketchikan's
 hazardous waste disposal costs were $166,000. In fiscal year 1991, disposal costs had already reached
 $135,000 by December 1990.  There were no clear reasons for this rising trend apparent to the audit
 team. However, effective waste minimization strategies could certainly help  reverse the pattern.

 Using the summary data developed from the hazardous waste transfer sheets  and the disposal costs
 per unit for each waste category from the current disposal contract, we constructed an estimate of
 overall hazardous waste disposal costs for calendar year 1989. Figure 3-10 (and Table 3-2) indicate
 that in 1989, the most costly waste streams were blasting waste and bilge waste, each comprising
 slightly over 20% of the total disposal costs (neglecting  transportation and broker's overhead and

profit). In January to August 1990 (Figure 3-11), blasting waste was somewhat more significant than
bilge waste, comprising 34% of the total compared to 18% for bilge. In this year, an unusual amount
of blasting waste was disposed of due to the excavation of surface soils beneath the marine ways,
containing years of accumulated spent grit and paint dust.

Paint waste and waste oil are also expensive waste streams according to the summary data estimates.
In 1989, paint waste represented 12% of the total disposal costs for the year. In 1990, estimated costs
for this waste stream were significantly lower at 7%, explained by the fact that buoy painting  was
curtailed while the buoy shed was being remodeled. In 1989, waste oil comprised over 8% of the total
estimated disposal expense, and 5% in 1989. Miscellaneous hydrocarbons (off-spec fuels) represented
the third highest waste  stream disposal costs in 1990. This was due in part to the cleanup of a fuel
spill and tank removal at the Base.

Other significant waste streams in terms of  disposal costs are, in approximate order of decreasing
expense:
         Batteries                          7%
         Contaminated waste oil             6-7%
         Solvents                           1-6%
         Antifreeze/coolant                 1 -6%
         OBA canisters                     2-4%
The values discussed above represent estimates based on the transfer sheet data. Delivery orders for
1989 and 1990 showed significantly higher actual overall expenses for hazardous waste disposal. (Note
that the transfer sheet data do not include transportation costs or broker's overhead and profit.) Four
shipments of hazardous waste from Base Ketchikan in 1989 totaled $148,000.  From January to
August 1990, three shipments of hazardous waste from Base Ketchikan resulted in total billings of
$253,000.

Figure 3-12 and Table 3-3 present the breakdown of actual disposal costs by waste category from
1989 delivery orders. The most expensive category is hazardous waste solid, comprised almost entirely
of blasting waste, totaling $46,000 in disposal costs. Second to hazardous waste solid is waste

flammable liquid, including bilge waste, miscellaneous hydrocarbons, and antifreeze/coolants3 at
nearly $39,000.  Paint waste and paint waste related categories follow, totaling almost $15,000.
Batteries represent over $13,000 in disposal costs, followed by OB A canisters and waste oxidizing
material at $10,000.

Figure 3-13 illustrates the breakdown of actual disposal costs by waste category for partial calendar
year 1990 from shipping invoices. Waste flammable liquid is by far the most costly, totaling $83,000.
Included  in this category are bilge  waste, miscellaneous hydrocarbons, and antifreeze/coolants.
Hazardous waste solid, comprised almost entirely of blasting waste, followed at $39,000 for disposal.
Contaminated waste oil and paint waste disposal cost $11,000 and $10,500, respectively.  Disposal of
batteries came to $7,400. Disposal of PCB transformers and capacitors (not documented on hazardous
waste transfer sheets) totaled $7,200.  Miscellaneous RCRA wastes cost about $6,000, and disposal of
spent OBA canisters totaled $2,700.

The hazardous waste disposal contract is currently held by a waste broker (Oil Spill Consultants, Inc.,
Anchorage), who works with one or more treatment/     storage/disposal facilities in Washington,
Oregon, and Idaho. Contract terms reveal that  some wastes are far more costly to dispose of than
others.  Table 3-4 lists the per unit disposal costs for all of the waste categories in 1990. (The 1989
disposal contract employed a different broker, Glean, Inc., and different disposal rates.)

On top of disposal costs, the broker adds 10% overhead. Transportation is figured on a per trip basis,
where a "trip" is defined as two Conex vans (semi-trailer loads).  Each van can hold up to 40 drums.
To the disposal, overhead,  and transportation costs,  the  broker adds  10% profit.  Table  3-5
summarizes the per drum (or per tote) disposal costs for common wastes generated at Base Ketchikan,
including transportation costs and the broker's overhead and profit.

Figures 3-14, 3-15, and Table 3-3 illustrate the breakdown by category of actual waste disposal costs
for 1989 and 1990, including transportation, overhead, and profit. Transportation costs are second
only to waste flammable liquid disposal expense in  1990.  Profit and overhead costs in 1990 exceed
all but the two highest waste categories. Differences in the 1989 and 1990 hazardous waste disposal
   3Bilge waste is very likely not flammable and not necessarily a hazardous waste. Waste oil and
antifreeze are also not automatically hazardous wastes.  Under the new TCLP ruling, these wastes
could be designated as characteristic wastes. However, used oil is readily recycled and should  be
viewed as a valuable resource.

3.5   SELECTION OF PRIORITY WASTE STREAMS
From examination of the data illustrated in Figures 3-2 through 3-15 and in the appurtenant tables,
the audit team identified the priority hazardous waste streams, which are the focus of the remainder
of this report. Quantity of waste generated, disposal costs,  and  relative toxicity were the criteria
considered in the selection process.  A secondary criterion was the  availability of waste reduction
options.  In the future, the Coast Guard may find it valuable to consider other aspects such as future
regulatory action in addition to waste quantity, disposal  cost, toxicity, and availability of waste
reduction options in prioritizing wastes for pollution prevention activities.  Reduction of waste
generation at its source is the preferred objective.  Waste minimization options for nonhazardous solid
waste streams are addressed in Section 4.8.  The priority hazardous waste streams are, in approximate
order of importance:

         Bilge waste
         Blasting waste
         Waste oil
         Paint waste
         Solvents
         Antifreeze/coolant
         Batteries.

In the following chapter, a variety of options for reducing waste production, improving  waste
management, and reducing hazardous waste disposal costs are presented for each of the waste streams
listed above.

         4.0  FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF WASTE MINIMIZATION ALTERNATIVES

 4.1   BLASTING WASTE
 Dry blasting is the primary method used to remove paint from hulls of Coast Guard vessels and to
 remove paint and rust from buoys.  Current operations are described below.

 4.1.1 Paint Removal from Vessel Hulls
 Base Ketchikan performs repairs and maintenance on five to ten Coast Guard vessels in the marine
 ways each year. Depainting of both aluminum and steel hulled vessels is accomplished by dry blasting
 using smelter slag media or garnet. Steel shot cannot be used for paint removal on aluminum surfaces
 because it damages the aluminum. When blasting operations are conducted on a vessel in the marine
 ways, "Visqueen" is first laid on the ground to help contain the paint and blasting grit.  The  ways is
 partially roofed and enclosed on two sides. The larger cutters (110 feet) are not fully sheltered by the
 marine ways structure.

 Waste produced consists of powdered blasting media  interspersed with paint chips and dust.  The
 presence of lead, chromium,  or other metals in  the paint dust can cause the waste to designate as
 hazardous by TCLP4. (Note: Levels of arsenic, lead, zinc, and other metals present in some slag
 blasting media have been shown to exceed TCLP limits.) At the marine ways, what can be collected
 of the blasting waste is drummed for disposal.

 Structural improvements of the marine ways are currently in the design stage. Walls will be completed
 on the north, east, and west sides, and canvas can be used to enclose the south end.  A new roof will
 be built about 15 feet higher than the existing roofline, extending from the end of the current roof
 to the stern end of the ways, thereby providing a cover for the larger vessels whose superstructures
 prohibited entry under the original roof.

 Several alternatives for minimizing or managing blasting waste  from paint removal operations at the
 marine ways  were considered, including:
   4TCLP: toxicity characteristic leaching procedure - an analytical method which has replaced EP
toxicity for designation of wastes as hazardous based on leachable constituent concentrations.

sI/ketchikan/wastemin.doc

-------
       • Use lead-free, non-toxic paints
       • Construct a concrete floor for the marine ways with grit collection system
       • Use a geomembrane floor for the marine ways
       • Employ plastic blasting media
       • Retest for hazardous waste designation
       • Recycle nonhazardous blasting waste in asphalt or concrete production
       • Extend maintenance schedule.

 Use Lead-Free. Non-Toxic Paints
 The Coast Guard is beginning  to phase out lead-bearing  paints and paints containing other toxic
 metals. However, until all Coast Guard boats (and buoys) are no longer coated with non-toxic paints,
 removal of paint from vessel hulls (and buoys) will continue to generate a potentially hazardous waste.
 Ultimately, this is the best option for reduction of this waste stream.  Spent blasting grit containing
 non-toxic paint dust (as determined by TCLP) could be landfilled. Ketchikan Public Works stated
 that the landfill would accept, free of charge, nonhazardous spent blasting waste for use as daily cover
 material.  Assuming all spent blasting material could be disposed in this manner, a savings of $30,000
 to $40,000 per year could be realized.

 Construct a Concrete or Geomembrane Floor
 The optimum enclosure for Ketchikan's vessel depainting operations would be a fully enclosed shed
 with a concrete floor, capable of housing a 110-foot cutter.  The floor could be constructed with a
 gentle slope to one central trough or sloped out to two troughs on either side of the ways to facilitate
 the collection and removal of blasting material and paint dust. With this type of arrangement and the
 use of a recyclable blasting medium, less blasting waste would  be released to the environment, and
 the depainting waste stream would be reduced dramatically. The cost of  an entirely new structure
 with blasting  media recycling equipment could cost over  $1,000,000s. Due to the high  cost, this
 option was not considered further for possible short-term  implementation. However, construction
 of only the concrete floor would be much less expensive and provide many of the same benefits as
 a totally enclosed structure.
   5Author's rough estimate.
910521.0150                                   4_2
sl/ketchikan/wastemin.doc

-------
A concrete floor in the marine ways would enable the collection of the blasting material for reuse and
would provide secure footing for the scaffolding equipment and hull blocks. Reusable blasting media
are available, however all types require that the blasting material be relatively dry when applied. The
media must not be mixed with soil, sand, or other contaminants. Construction of a concrete floor
would cost $200,000  to  $400,0005.   Because  the current design plans  for  the  marine  ways
improvements do not include a concrete floor, the additional expenditure of this amount of capital
was considered unlikely at this time.

An improvement over "Visqueen" dropcloths without the expense of a concrete floor would be the use
of 30-mil (or thicker) high density polyethylene (HOPE) to cover the ground at the marine ways.
This material is for more durable than lightweight "Visqueen," is less prone to flapping in the wind
(especially if sandbagged), and could potentially enhance the retrieval of spent grit from blasting
operations in the ways.  Because it can be reused many times, a geomembrane would also reduce or
eliminate the disposal of torn or shredded "Visqueen." HOPE is  a recyclable plastic and, when too
worn for reuse, could be recycled.

Employ Plastic Blasting Medium
Plastic blasting material is an optimal medium for paint removal on aluminum surfaces.  It can be
used on steel, but is not effective for heavy rust removal. On steel, more time may be required for
paint removal than with other (mineral) grits. The primary advantages of plastic blasting material are
its recyclability, controllability, and unique hardness characteristics. Plastic can be reused 20 times
before it breaks down and is rendered ineffective6. Plastic can be applied with such precision that
one layer of paint may be  removed at a time. This could potentially eliminate or reduce the  need to
strip the paint  down to bare metal, thus reducing  both blasting  waste and paint application costs.
Plastic also has the advantage of lighter  weight than mineral or steel particles.  Therefore, disposal
costs can be lower with plastic media, although actual hazardous  materials content (from paint) can
be higher relative to the total quantity of blasting waste due to the higher density of paint dust than
of plastic.

At Base Ketchikan, without suitable means for reusing the abrasive medium at the marine ways, the
substitution of  plastic blasting material might  not provide an advantageous alternative.  However,
should the use  of an HDPE cover prove effective, the  use  of reusable plastic beads for blasting

sI/ketchikan/wastemin.doc

-------
 aluminum-hulled boats and aluminum superstructures could be cost-effective. Each drum of reused
 plastic medium represents one drum of new grit which does not have to be purchased and disposed
 of.

 Retest for Hazardous Waste Designation
.In order to take advantage of possible recycling/reuse options, a definitive determination should be
 made of the hazardous designation of blasting waste from the marine ways. Should blasting waste be
 shown to be nonhazardous, several reuse alternatives are available. If hazardous, blasting waste will
 require disposal at a permitted disposal facility. Some smelter slag blasting grits contain toxic metals
 at levels high enough to fail the TCLP limits. This material, once a waste, would be designated as a
 hazardous waste even if it had never been used for paint removal. We reviewed laboratory analysis
 records from Base Ketchikan to determine whether its blasting waste was designated as hazardous.
 In 1986, 56 samples of sandblasting grit were analyzed by an environmental laboratory.  Fifty-two
 of  the  samples exceeded EPA  standards (presumably EP  toxicity).   However,  there was  no
 accompanying information indicating what kind of blasting material had been used, nor was there any
 analysis of unused blasting medium.

.In October 1989, two samples of used grit were analyzed by Chemical & Geological Laboratories of
Alaska, Inc., in Anchorage. Neither sample contained high metal levels and neither was designated
as hazardous waste. Again, there was no information available as to the type of grit used. We assume
 these analyses were conducted to verify the designation of the waste.  However, from the transfer
 sheets and waste shipment records, it appeared that all blasting waste was shipped off site as hazardous
 waste following receipt of the test results, as had been the practice previous to the analyses.

 It is quite possible that different blasting media have been used at Base Ketchikan for paint removal
 on both vessels and buoys over the years. The 1986 samples may have represented an abrasive which
 inherently contained high levels of metals before use.  The 1989 samples may have represented a
 cleaner blasting medium such as "Kleen Blast."  In Table 4-1, a chemical analysis of several different
 blasting grits is presented. These data show clearly that metal levels can vary significantly among
abrasive media. (Note: These data represent a compositional analysis, not TCLP results.)
910521.0150                                   4_4
sl/ketchikan/wastemin.doc

-------
Two vendors, both in the field of blasting equipment and supplies, recommended "Kleen Blast" as a
superior blasting grit because of its low metals content7.  This can be an advantage in both worker
safety and disposal aspects.  One source8 claimed that the metal content in the paint dust entrained
in the spent blasting medium usually will not, by itself, cause the waste to designate as hazardous.

If Base  Ketchikan could show through the analysis of representative samples that its blasting waste
is not hazardous, this waste  stream would no longer have to be handled under the hazardous waste
disposal contract and it could be reused or recycled. For example, blasting waste could be used at the
Ketchikan Landfill as daily  cover, therefore disposed of without charge, at an approximate annual
savings  of $30,000 to $40,000 per year. Though this would not reduce the quantity of blasting waste
produced, in effect it would  reduce the toxicity of the waste stream. In the interests of proper waste
handling, blasting waste should not be disposed of as hazardous waste if it is nonhazardous,  and
should be reused or recycled where possible.

Recycle into Asphalt  or Concrete Production
Another possible use of blasting waste, should it be found to be nonhazardous, is to incorporate it in
the local production of asphalt or concrete.  Companies in the Tacoma, Washington area are known
to use this practice, and it might be possible to arrange such an agreement with an asphalt or concrete
supplier in the Ketchikan area.

Extend  Maintenance Schedule
Currently, vessel hull repainting is performed every five years. With changes in paint formulations
forthcoming, and the high costs of hazardous waste disposal, the Coast Guard may wish to re-evaluate
its maintenance schedules. If vessels could be repainted on an every sixth year schedule  instead of
once every five years, 20% savings in both materials and disposal could theoretically be realized. If
the schedule were extended  to seven years, a 40% reduction could theoretically be achieved.

This concept could be similarly applied to buoy  repainting schedules and to  the replacement of
lubricating oils, antifreeze, and other solutions in vessel and base vehicle engines.

4.1.2 Paint Removal from Buoys
As mentioned previously, a new buoy blasting booth was constructed and brought on-line in January
1991.  The new booth  incorporates a system for blasting and recycling steel shot and will provide
significant reduction in blasting waste due to the multiple reuse of the steel blasting media.  The
manufacturer of this system (CAB Systems, Kent, WA) claims the steel shot can be recycled 200 times.
Other sources9 suggest  that five to six reuses is typical before the steel shot breaks down.  As the new
system is utilized, it will be interesting for the Coast Guard to note the quantity of spent shot and
paint dust which is generated from the new equipment and to compare these levels with previous buoy
paint removal operations. The new equipment is likely to reduce this waste stream significantly from
former levels.

Two possibilities were  considered for waste minimization in buoy depainting:

      •  Plastic blasting media
      •  Magnetic separation of the paint dust from the steel shot.

Plastic Blasting Media
Our research revealed that plastic blasting media are not of sufficient hardness to effectively remove
heavy rust and encrustation on steel buoys. The industry standard for this application is steel shot,
and  the optimum waste reduction follows from multiple recycling of the blasting media. The new
system installed at the Base automates the reuse of steel shot. Actual waste production will depend
on how many times the shot can be recycled before it becomes  unusable or ineffective.

Magnetic Separation
Magnetic separation is one technique for segregating  steel from paint dust.  The  CAB Systems
equipment at Base Ketchikan is equipped with an air-suspension/gravity separation unit which will
separate the lighter paint dust from the heavier steel dust, and segregate the reusable steel shot which
is automatically returned to the hopper for blasting.  Magnetic separation does not appear to have any
advantages in terms of  waste reduction, cost savings, or operational aspects over the newly installed
CAB unit.

-------
4.2   PAINTING VESSELS AND BUOYS
Various types of paints are used throughout the Base, including interior and exterior building paints,
sign paints, spray paints, anti-fouling paints, and paints for vessel and buoy interiors and exteriors.
The largest quantities of paints used are for painting buoys and vessel hulls. Binks "Super 1" airless
spray guns are used in  both of these operations. Boats are painted in the marine ways and buoys will
be painted in the new paint booth in the buoy shed.  Wastes from these operations include volatilized
thinners and overspray, spent thinners, waste paint, and paint slops. According to the head painter,
an estimated 80 to 90% of the liquid paint waste stream (excluding waste from improper storage and
overspray) is generated by cleanup operations.

The following options  were considered for waste minimization  from the major
painting operations. They are discussed in further detail below.

        Use lead-free, non-toxic paints
        Use high volume/low pressure spray guns
        Improve storage practices
        Employ best paint application practices
        Use spray gun cleaning station with recyclable solvent
        Recycle paint wastes through distillation.

4.2.1 Use Lead-Free.  Non-Toxic Paints
The Coast Guard, like the Navy and other defense agencies, has begun to phase out lead-bearing
paints and paints containing other toxic constituents. This change may take several years to complete.
The use of non-toxic paints and non-toxic thinning agents is ultimately the best option for reduction
of hazardous paint wastes. (Total volume of waste may not be affected, but non-toxic paints and
thinners will reduce the toxicity of this waste stream significantly.) In the short-term, however, other
means to reduce waste should be explored.

4.2.2 Use High Volume/Low Pressure Air Guns
According to several studies  of paint application techniques, the estimated transfer efficiency of a
Binks airless gun for painting buoys is 40 to 50%.  This number reflects both the type of surface being
painted and the type of applicator. With flat surfaces, a higher transfer efficiency is attainable. The
significance of this number is that it indicates that 50 to 60% of the paint is not getting to the buoy.
Therefore, roughly half of the paint which  flows through the spray gun is wasted. Solvent in the
paint evaporates as the paint dries, causing an air emission from the process estimated at about 4
pounds per gallon of paint sprayed.
910521.0150                                    4_o
sl/ketchikan/wastenrin.doc

-------
A new type of paint applicator is available which employs an air compressor and high speed turbine
to mobilize the paint, instead of the conventional high pressure sprayer which relies on the rapid
expansion of air through the nozzle to atomize the paint. Overspray is reduced to about 15% with this
high volume/low pressure (HVLP) air equipment. Therefore, more paint per gallon actually gets to
the painting surface, less paint is used, less paint is wasted, and less solvent evaporates into the air.
These units are being employed in auto body refinishing shops because of their environmental and
economic benefits.  Potential savings  to the Base are approximately $12,250 per year, based on
estimated paint use of 3,000 gallons per year and an average paint cost of $10 per gallon. (Both of
these estimates  are  considered  conservative.   Current  actual annual paint purchases  may  be
considerably higher.) The payback period for this option, neglecting any savings in disposal costs,
is less than 0.1 year, as demonstrated in the cost/benefit analysis in Table 4-2.  In addition, an
estimated reduction of 5,000 pounds per year of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released to the
air could be achieved through the use of HVLP equipment.  Also, ventilation exhaust filters will
probably require less frequent replacement, reducing another solid  waste stream.

4.2.3  Improve Storage Practices
According to the hazardous materials coordinator, a significant quantity of unusable paint is disposed
of annually as hazardous waste.   Some paints are  stored beyond their shelf life and  ultimately
discarded.  Paints  must be stored in  heated space to prevent them from freezing in  the winter in
Ketchikan. The new paint room in the buoy  shed will provide improved storage. This principle
should be applied base-wide, as many shops maintain their own paint lockers.

4.2.4  Employ Best Paint Application Practices
Many studies of spray paint application have shown that operator skill can have a significant effect
on the amount of waste generated from painting operations. The minimization of overspray (the paint
which does not reach the painting surface) is one  of the most important techniques  for  waste
reduction.  In addition, the painting of objects  of the same color at the same time would reduce the
amount of solvent  needed to rinse  the spray gun between colors. Lighter colored objects could be
painted first and darker ones next, potentially reducing the need to rinse the gun between colors.

4.2.5  Sorav Gun Cleaning Station
Paint solvent use and VOC emissions can be significantly reduced with the use of a spray gun cleaning
station which employs an enclosed, recirculating solvent unit for the cleaning of paint spray guns.

ASSUMPTIONS:

      •  Estimated paint use is 3,000 gallons per year.  Actual data not available.  Values are
          conservative assumptions chosen to yield "worst case scenario" results.

      •  Average cost of paint is $10.  Probably conservative.  Antifouling paints and specialized
          coatings are typically more expensive.

      •  Current overspray results in 50% paint loss.


NOTE:   Use of 1,275 gallons less paint results in a reduction of 5,100 Ib/year of volatile organic
          emissions to the air.

The units are available for approximately $500. They prevent the loss of solvent through evaporation,
and provide optimal reuse of solvent for equipment cleaning.  When the solvent is no longer effective,
it can be distilled and reused.  Though exact values were not available for the amount of solvent or
thinner currently used at the Base for spray gun cleaning, a system such as the Lighthall SC 1100 unit
(information in Appendix B) could be economically advantageous, decrease air emissions, and reduce
operator hours spent on cleanup.

4.2.6  Recycle Paint Wastes With  Waste Solvents
An estimated 1500 gallons of waste paint and paint related materials were disposed as hazardous waste
in 1989. Liquid paint and thinner waste can be recycled in a  benchtop distillation system. A similar
distillation unit can also be used for solvents such as trichloroethane (TCA) or Stoddard solvent.  The
equipment would  provide recycled thinner adequate for cleaning use (not for thinning paint) and
produce a sludge. The sludge would be a hazardous waste, but its volume would be far less than what
is currently generated and disposed as paint and  thinner waste.  Section  4.3.4 contains further
information on the distillation option, including a cost benefit analysis.
4.3   SOLVENTS
Base  Ketchikan uses a variety of solvents, including  Stoddard solvent  (a petroleum distillate),
trichloroethane-base solvents, various engine cleaners and degreasers from spray cans, and paint
thinners (primarily methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and epoxy thinners). The primary areas of solvent
usage are the Industrial shops, Station, and Public Works Vehicle Maintenance. There are three small
parts washers on base, and a 100-gallon hot dip tank which employs a caustic solvent. Data collected
from the hazardous waste transfer sheets for calendar year 1989 indicate that nearly 800 gallons of
solvent waste were disposed as hazardous waste.

Several options were considered to reduce the solvent waste stream,  including:

      • Solvent substitution
      • Extending solvent life
      • Employing best management practices
      • Onsite solvent recycling and reuse.

-------
4.3.1  Solvent Substitution
There are a multitude of products available that are being marketed as effective cleaners that replace
some of the hazardous solvents commonly in use.  Some areas at the Base have begun to use "Simple
Green," a biodegradable industrial cleaner, instead of more toxic solvents.  In most applications, a
substitute solvent must be tried to determine if it is compatible with the materials being cleaned and
performs its task adequately. A determination should not be made on vendor information alone. In
addition, some products may be less toxic, but are still considered hazardous waste when spent.

Substitutes are available for TCA-based solvents, such as "Micro-C," "Hurri-Safe," "Ameroid OWS,"
"Iso-Prep," "Breakthrough," and others.  Although some of these products exhibit lower toxicity
characteristics, some are  flammable and  when spent, will be designated as hazardous  waste.  In
addition, fire and explosion hazards may be increased.

Stoddard solvent or Chevron 325 may be replaced by solvents which have been created to  meet
regulatory restrictions and be classified as nonhazardous.  Chemically, they may be quite different
from Stoddard solvent and may vary in their effectiveness.  The chemically "stronger" alternatives
may be ignitable. The "weaker" products are not ignitable and are classified as cleaning oil.  If these
solvents are not contaminated with metals or total halogen levels in excess of regulatory requirements,
they can be burned in a waste oil burner.

Nonhazardous solvent substitutes are  usually more expensive to purchase than their  hazardous
equivalents.  However, savings in disposal costs accruing from the  substitution of nonhazardous
solvents for hazardous products could be significant base-wide. Total solvent waste volume in  1989
was about 800 gallons. Due to the  amount of solvent which evaporated during use or was spilled
during transfer between containers, the total quantity of solvents purchased for the year was probably
much higher than this figure.

In the machine shop, the hot "gunk tank" currently uses a carbon removing compound ("P-C-111
Am. 2, Type II," from Octagon Process, Inc.).  Once or twice per year, the tank is cleaned out and the
solvent and sludge  are disposed as  hazardous waste (2 to 4  drums per year).  There are products
available for this type of parts cleaning system which are nonhazardous. For example, one product
called "Hurri-Safe"  (information in  Appendix C), when spent, produces a nonhazardous liquid and
only the sludge (estimated at 10% of tank volume) must be disposed of as hazardous waste.   The
potential savings from this solvent substitution option are outlined in Table 4-3. It might be possible
to use spent caustic solution to neutralize battery acids, as mentioned in Section 4.7.1.

-------
4.3.2  Extending Solvent Life
The useful life of any solvent, whether hazardous or one of the nonhazardous substitutes mentioned
above, can be extended through the use of fairly simple techniques. Using steam or pressure washing
before applying solvent can reduce solvent use and extend its life.  Solvent quality deteriorates as
sludges and contaminants remain in contact with solvent solutions, and as oil builds up in the solvent.
As dirt and sludge accumulate in the reservoirs of parts  washers or dip tanks, solvent life shortens.
Regular removal of sludge or filtration of the solvent can also extend solvent life significantly. Some
sources of filtration equipment claimed that solvents could be used two to three times longer with in-
line circulating filtration units. Small enclosed pressure washing systems can also be used effectively,
eliminating or reducing the need for hazardous solvents.  Information on such systems is contained
in Appendix C.

The manufacturers of the small parts washers now in use at the Base can probably provide filtration
units for very little capital investment. The filters themselves would still require disposal as hazardous
waste, but less solvent would be purchased and the overall waste volume would be reduced.

4.3.3  Employ Best Management Practices
Due to their high volatility, solvents evaporate quickly and a significant waste (though untracked) is
the disappearance  of volatilized solvent into the air.  In addition, product spillage during transfer
from one  container to another can be the greatest source of solvent wastes. Listed below are some
simple procedures that will help minimize solvent loss through evaporation, spillage, and improper
storage.

      • Prevent loss of chemicals through evaporation or spillage by ensuring that container
        lids are replaced and tightened.
      • Use spigots, pumps, or funnels when dispensing and transferring materials to reduce
        the possibility of spills.
      • Store products in  locations that will  preserve  their shelf life,  i.e., away  from
        temperature extremes.
      • AVOID MIXING SOLVENTS WITH ANY OTHER WASTES.  When solvents are
        mixed with other wastes such as oil or antifreeze, they may render that waste unfit for
        recycling  or recovery. In addition, mixing of wastes may lead to inaccurate waste
        identification and improper disposal.
      • Keep used chlorinated solvents (such as 1,1,1 -trichloroethane and methylene chloride)
        separate from nonchlorinated solvents (Simple Green).

      •  Use different funnels for used oil and solvents to reduce contamination potential.
      •  Minimize spray and wipe cleaning, which contribute to excess use of solvents.
      •  Wipe, brush off, or steam-clean parts before using solvent, to reduce solvent use and
         extend solvent life.
      •  Reuse old solvent as a pre-soak for cleaning parts.

4.3.4 Onsite Solvent Recycling and Reuse
Four types of liquid wastes are amenable to onsite recycling at Base Ketchikan: paints, thinners,
Stoddard solvent, and TCA-based solvents.  These materials can  be recycled into cleaning grade
solvents  by distillation, producing a small amount of sludge which is disposed of as hazardous waste.
Transfer sheet data indicate that paint and paint-related wastes total 1,300 to 1,600 gallons per year,
and TCA and Stoddard solvent wastes are estimated at 200 to 500 gallons per year. Disposal costs for
paint wastes and solvents are $641 per drum, or nearly $13 per gallon. Avoided disposal costs and a
reduction in new product purchase  costs make distillation an attractive  alternative.   Recycled
solvent/thinner quantities could potentially meet the base-wide demand for cleaning solvent.

Small batch distillation units that handle five to IS gallons per  batch are available with or without
vacuum  units. A vacuum unit is required  for solvents with  boiling points greater than 300°F.
Stoddard solvent  and Chevron 325 fall into this category.  Paints, thinners, MEK, and TCA have
lower boiling points, for which  a distillation unit  would  not require vacuum.  Information on
distillation units  is provided in Appendix C.  Fire code requirements apply to the installation of
distillation units,  and could involve additional costs.

Table 4-4  presents  an economic analysis for a small  batch distillation system made  by Finish
Engineering, model LS Jr.  It does not include a vacuum unit. We  assumed a conservative value of
1,300 gallons of waste distilled per year.  Actual quantities may be higher.  Net annual benefit is
estimated at over $6,000, and the payback period is less than one year.
4.4   BILGE WASTE
Bilge waste comprises the largest volume of all the liquid waste types disposed as hazardous waste
from Base Ketchikan. Our estimates of bilge quantities from transfer sheet information indicate that
bilge represents 35-37%  of  the  total  liquid hazardous  waste produced.  In  1989, bilge totaled
approximately 3,500 gallons of liquid that was drummed and shipped offsite as "Waste Flammable
Liquid."

Bilge, a variable mixture of water, oil, diesel, and a small amount of coolant, is generated on each of
the floating units which are supported by the Base. The Planetree, a 180-foot buoy tender, is the only
unit which treats its bilge on board.  On the Planetree, the bilge is pumped through an oil/water
separator and the water (containing supposedly less than  15 ppm oil) is pumped overboard.  The
remaining oily waste is pumped into a 500-gallon holding tank, then drummed for disposal.  The
Planetree generates 50  to 100 gallons per month of this oily waste.

The smaller vessels supported by Base Ketchikan are not equipped with oil/water separators. Their
bilge is drummed at the Base Ketchikan dock  and transferred to the hazardous waste storage area.
Bilge disposal costs are estimated at $514 per drum.

The options considered for elimination or reduction of this waste stream are:

         Install oil/water separators on all vessels
         Install oil/water separation unit at the Base
         Install an ultrafiltration unit at the Base
         Recycle or recover oil onsite or offsite
         Eliminate use of detergents and emulsifying agents
         Use oil/water separator at Ketchikan  shipyard.

4.4.1 Install Oil/Water Separators On All Vessels
Our research indicated that space limitations would prohibit the installation of oil/water separators
on all of the smaller floating units. In addition, better performance was likely from a stationary unit
at the Base. No further information was pursued for this option.

4.4.2 Install Oil/Water Separation Unit at Base Ketchikan
What makes this option so advantageous is that it enables the sewerage of approximately 95% of the
waste stream, at no  additional  sewer expense10.  Discussions with various sources knowledgeable
about Navy and shipyard operations indicated that oil/water separation is both achievable and widely
practiced by marine  facilities.  Several manufacturers claim that their equipment can reduce the oil
content in wastewater to 15 ppm or less, well below typical municipal discharge standards (usually
50 to 100 ppm). (Note: City of Ketchikan does not have an ordinance which states such a discharge
limitation. Ketchikan Public Utilities should be informed if USCG institutes oil/water separation and
discharges the water to the sewer.)  The water, representing 95 to 99% of the bilge volume, can be
   10This option does not reduce the generation of bilge. However, it allows for an environmentally
advantageous handling of this waste stream, effectively reducing the toxicity of the waste.

discharged to the sewer.  The remaining oily waste should be tested to determine whether it is
designated as hazardous waste.  If it is nonhazardous, it can be burned in the waste oil burner onsite.
It could also be shipped offsite for recycling or energy recovery.

The keys to successful separation of the bilge are:

      •  Use non-emulsifying degreasers
      •  Purchase the best equipment for the application
      •  Maintain the equipment well.

Oil emulsified by  a detergent in the bilge mixture makes separation of oil from the water difficult.
The substitution of non-emulsifying degreasers will permit cleaning the engine and bilge areas but
will not  impair the function of an oil/water separator. Even though the best equipment for this
application may  be expensive, there  is strong economic justification for pursuing onsite  bilge
treatment.  Avoided disposal costs will more than cover the expenses. Additional effort and expense
to ensure proper installation, satisfactory operation, and reliability will also pay out favorably.

Following is a brief cost/benefit analysis for the implementation of an oil/water separator at the Base
(Table 4-5). The  equipment we considered for this analysis include a conical-bottom 1,000-gallon
bilge holding tank (for settling out suspended solids), a Quantek CPS-3 oil/water separation unit with
emulsion-breaking cartridges, a monitor which automatically recycles the effluent if it does not meet
discharge specifications  and shuts the unit down when the cartridges are spent,  a prefabricated
housing  unit for the equipment, and a waste oil container (drum).   Cartridges on the emulsion-
breaking unit must be changed  when spent.  The period between cartridge changes depends entirely
on the composition of the bilge entering the system.  For the purposes of this analysis, we assumed
the cartridges would process 5,000 gallons of bilge and cost $100.

The unit is fully automatic and would require only slightly more operator time than is currently used
to pump and drum bilge directly from the vessels.  The coalescing plates in the oil/water  separator
must be  periodically cleaned, a task that takes about two hours every several thousand hours of
operation, again depending upon the bilge composition.  Installation costs were estimated at $5,000.
These would be much less if the plumbing were performed by base personnel under the supervision
of the equipment supplier.

-------
4.4.3  Eliminate Use of Detergents and Emulsifying Agents
A potential obstacle to successful  oil/water separation is  the  presence of detergents or other
emulsifying agents at levels that  prevent oil/water separation.  Simple  product substitution can
overcome  this problem.   The distributor of  the  oil/water  separation  equipment  cited  above
recommends an effective cleaning solution ("Ameroid OWS") which is compatible with the coalescing
plate  separator.  Costs are typically  much higher for non-emulsifying degreasers but the ultimate
reduction in waste handling costs will more than compensate for this expense.  Information on a
number of these products is contained in Appendix D.

4.4.4  Install Ultrafiltration Unit at the Base
Ultrafiltration is another  technique  for separation of oil/water emulsions.  Ultrafiltration systems
usually incorporate a first stage coalescer followed by a second stage membrane separation unit.
Should Ketchikan bilge emulsions be found (by prepurchase testing) to be inadequately treated in the
coalescing plate separator described above, an Ultrafiltration unit could be the solution for reducing
the bilge waste stream. Costs of this option using a "Pace" Ultrafiltration unit made by FAST Systems,
Inc. are summarized in Table 4-6.  Savings resulting from avoided disposal costs would be similar to
those calculated in the oil/water separator analysis. These units may require much more maintenance
than oil/water separators and may not operate as reliably. However, the expense will be recovered
in approximately two years because of avoided hazardous waste disposal costs.

4.4.5  Recycle or Recover Oil Onsite or Offsite
The oil collected by the oil/water separator, estimated at less than one drum per quarter, should be
analyzed to determine if it is designated hazardous waste. If it exhibits a hazardous characteristic,
it should not be burned in the waste  oil burner onsite, although it could be recycled offsite.  If it is
not hazardous waste, it can be burned in the waste oil burner onsite, potentially reblended for use in
small diesel engines, or shipped offsite for reprocessing or blending. Section 4.5 provides more detail
on  these options.  The Coast  Guard  at  Base Ketchikan should  become familiar  with both the
techniques and legal responsibilities  of used oil management in pursuing these alternatives.

4.4.6  Use Oil/Water Separator  at Ketchikan Shipyard
Consultation with Ketchikan Shipyard personnel indicated that this option is not currently available.
The shipyard has recently installed an Ultrafiltration unit which is operating at an average flow rate
of 1.5 gallons per minute.  Shipyard  operations currently exceed the unit's capacity of 500 to 1,000

gallons per day; therefore, additional bilge to process is not being sought by the shipyard.  As some
of the operational problems are still being worked out by the shipyard, dependable service from this
particular unit seems uncertain.
4.5   WASTE OIL
There are several significant sources of waste oil at the Base, including engine lubricating oil on Coast
Guard boats, cutters, and shore vehicles, and generator oil. Hazardous waste transfer sheets indicated
that waste oils were often contaminated with unknown substances and mixed with other wastes.  The
total volume of waste oil generated by Coast Guard vessels and Base Ketchikan is estimated at 2,000
gallons per year. In addition, a small percentage of bilge waste is oil, adding roughly another SO
gallons per year to this waste stream if the bilge is separated.  In 1989, approximately 40 drums of
waste oil and contaminated waste oil were shipped off site as hazardous waste, at a cost of $518 and
$713 per drum, respectively.

If halogenated solvents, in particular, and other wastes can be kept out of the used oil collected by
and generated on the Base, there is no reason why all of Base Ketchikan's used oil cannot be recycled
or used for building or process heat.  Used oil is  not automatically  a hazardous  waste.  Oil is a
valuable resource that should not be viewed as waste. Aside from a small percentage of sludge which
may accumulate, essentially all of this waste stream can be eliminated from disposal as hazardous
waste. If used oil is going to be recycled or burned for energy recovery, it is not subject to the 90-
day storage limit nor to  hazardous  waste  transport requirements.  Familiarity with the used oil
regulations (40 CFR 266 Subpart £) and federal guidance on handling used oil will provide the Coast
Guard with a more complete description of legal responsibilities,  testing requirements, and other
aspects of waste oil management.  An extensive discussion of the regulatory aspects is beyond the
scope of this report.

Options evaluated for addressing used oil combine management practices with technological options.
The keys to minimizing this hazardous waste stream are: 1) segregating used oils from all other waste
streams, especially preventing mixture with halogenated solvents and 2) maximizing the reuse of used
oils. The alternatives we considered  for management of used oil are:

4.5.1  Onsite Energy Recovery With Waste Oil Burner
The waste oil heater located in the Vehicle Maintenance Shop is rated at 120,000 BTU per hour.
According to the primary operator of this unit, the burner consumes approximately one gallon of oil
per hour, and operates continuously about five months out of the year.  The waste oil burner is used
for supplemental heat in the Hobby Lobby, Vehicle Maintenance,  and Motor Pool areas.  The oil
burned in the unit is generated in the Hobby Lobby, where Base personnel may perform maintenance
and light repair work on their own  vehicles, and in the Vehicle Maintenance shop, where maintenance
and light repair is conducted on the nine shore vehicles maintained by the Base.  Care is taken to
avoid contamination of the oil with solvents, water, or other chemicals which would foul the waste
oil heater.

There are sufficient quantities of oil generated by other sources at the Base to justify more waste oil
burners for supplemental or perhaps primary heat in other buildings. Federal regulations (40 CFR
255.4l(b)) allow used oil burning for energy recovery without a permit in units up to 500,000 BTU
per hour.  The warehouse and buoy shed are potential  candidates for used oil heaters.

In Table 4-7 are presented the results of an economic  analysis of using another waste oil heater on
the Base. Assuming that the oil can be  accumulated without contamination by water, solvents, and
other materials, there would be more used oil available than a single additional unit would probably
consume.  Two waste oil heaters (200,000 BTU each) could probably take  care of most or all of the
used oil generated.  Assuming that the used oil would reduce the Base purchase of heating fuel for
the areas being heated,  the payback on each unit is estimated at less than one year, with a net annual
benefit of $10,800 per heater.

4.5.2  Offsite Energy Recovery at Ketchikan Pulp Mill
The Ketchikan shipyard accumulates used oil and trucks it to the Ketchikan pulp mill where it is used
as fuel for pulp processing heat.  The mill charges $.10 per gallon to accept the waste oil and the Coast
Guard may be able to  negotiate this down.  This could be an attractive alternative for the  Coast
Guard, either by itself or in tandem with the usage of an additional waste oil heater. The Base would

need to have a large holding tank for accumulating the waste oil. A local tank truck could be hired
to transport the oil from the Base to the pulp mill.  The oil would probably require regular testing to
verify that it does not contain unacceptable levels of halogenated compounds.

Table 4-8 is a brief economic analysis of the offsite energy recovery option. The net annual benefit
is estimated at $16,500. Payback would occur in approximately one month.

Table 4-9 illustrates a combination of onsite and offsite energy recovery options. In this scenario,
the Coast Guard purchases one additional waste oil heater. The excess oil that cannot be burned in
this unit is trucked to the Ketchikan pulp mill. The resulting net annual  benefit is $17,700.  The
estimated payback period is less than six months.

4.5.3  Offsite Oil Recycling
There are several firms which reprocess oil for  reuse, typically as fuel  oil,  in the Seattle area.
Northwest Enviro Services is anticipating starting a facility in Anchorage to service Alaska generators.
When that facility starts operating, it might provide a slightly less costly option than shipping used
oil to Seattle.

Assuming that the used oil is free from solvent contamination, it could be  shipped to Seattle either
drummed or in larger containers (300 to 400 gallons). Though recycling rates may vary somewhat
depending on the quality of the used oil, the current rate for "clean" oil recycling is $.50 per gallon.
In Table 4-10, the costs  and  benefits of shipping used  oil offsite to a Seattle reprocessor are
calculated.  The costs of handling 2,000 gallons of used oil generated annually  would shrink from
$24,000 per year under current  practices to $2,000 using a Seattle-based oil  recycler, including
transportation costs.

4.5.4  Oil Testing to Extend Period Between Oil Changes
A field testing device can be used to track the "health" of lubrication oil as it wears during operation.
When the instrument readings indicate that the oil is unacceptably dirty  or worn, the oil should be
changed. Such instruments have been used successfully to extend the period between oil changes,
ensuring that the oil is fully "used" before it is replaced.

Such a unit might be practical for application on a small fleet of passenger vehicles or light duty
trucks, as well as on a large cutter such as the Planetree. Currently, the Planetree sends samples of
its oil to a laboratory for analysis to determine when the engine oil should be replaced. The on-board
use of a field testing instrument could reduce analytical expenses and provide information much more
quickly than a laboratory can.

One such unit, the Lubrisensor, costs around $500, and has been used successfully in lengthening oil
changes intervals on the Municipality of Anchorage vehicle fleet and in generating substantial savings.
More information on the instrument is provided in Appendix E. The use of a Lubrisensor on a daily
basis and periodic laboratory analyses are recommended to track the engine oil behavior over a year
or so. Once the relationship between Lubrisensor readings and lab analyses has been established, the
field testing unit can be used alone to determine when the oil needs to be replaced. Potential savings
in a particular application are difficult to estimate. However, if oil purchase and/or disposal costs
are high, this could be an attractive alternative.

4.5.5 Bv-Pass Filtration to Extend Oil Life
By-pass  filtration (also known as ultrafiltration) employs an after-market filter unit installed on an
engine, which can remove particles down to 0.5 to 0.7 microns from the oil.  Typical automotive
filters remove particles 20 microns and larger, but are not effective for fine particle collection. By-
pass filter units have been used successfully on automotive and marine engines to extend the useful
life of lubricating oil by  six to  25 times11.

By-pass  ultrafiltration units typically consist of  a fiberglass  or metal housing which  holds a
replaceable filter cartridge (a roll of paper towels in some units).  The units vary in size  according to
crankcase volume and engine horsepower, ranging from quart jar size on an automobile to 2 feet by
6 inches on a large diesel generator.  Use of by-pass filters in conjunction with laboratory analysis
provides continuous cleaning of the oil and accurate verification of oil adequacy and  replacement
need. In addition, ultrafiltration removes water from oil and can be used to recover hydraulic oil.
Additional information on by-pass filters is provided in Appendix E.

This alternative  could be applied on Coast Guard vessels as well as  on shore vehicles.  Most engine
manufacturers will maintain original warranty  obligations  with the use of by-pass filters.  The
   11 Alaska DEC Pollution Prevention Program, unnamed article on oil waste minimization options,

-------
advantages to the Coast Guard would be reduced oil purchase costs, reduced oil disposal/recycling
costs, and potentially longer engine life.
4.6   ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT
Each year, Base Ketchikan disposes of several hundred gallons of coolant and antifreeze solutions as
hazardous waste, at a cost of $518 per drum or over $9 per gallon. Coolant mixtures are used in each
of the engines on the vessels supported at Base Ketchikan, as well as in the nine vehicles maintained
at the facility.

Two options for minimization of this waste stream were considered, as follows:

      • Purify coolant onsite and reuse
      • Recycle antifreeze offsite through a service contract.

4.6.1  Purify Coolant Onsite and Reuse
A number of antifreeze/coolant "recycling'' units are available for commercial use. Of these, most
are of the simple filtration type, providing no rebalancing of  pH, ionic concentrations, or other
properties significant to antifreeze performance. One unit we found did  perform a more complete
purification of the antifreeze  mixture.  Though there are no standard or military specifications for
an antifreeze-plus-water mixture, the manufacturer of this unit guarantees that the purified solution
will meet or exceed the performance characteristics of virgin antifreeze and water solution. The
advantage of this alternative is the avoidance of both disposal costs and purchase of new antifreeze.

In the cost/benefit analysis in Table 4-11 we assumed that vessels and base vehicles generate a total
of 700 gallons per year of antifreeze and coolant mixtures.  The recycling unit itself costs less than
$8,000, and operating costs are estimated  at $3.90 per gallon.   Net annual benefit is estimated at
$6,880, and the payback period was calculated to be 1.2 years.

4.6.2  Recycle Antifreeze Offsite Through a Service Contract
The same type of antifreeze/coolant purification process as mentioned above, but on a larger scale,
can be obtained in some areas on a service contract. Mr. Frank Madison of CEU Juneau has been
investigating this option for various Coast Guard facilities using an Alaska-based service. Specific
information on the availability and cost of this option was not available.

4.7   BATTERnES

Spent batteries represent the second largest solid hazardous waste stream from Base Ketchikan. Most

of the batteries are collected from ATON units and vehicles maintained at the Base.  Batteries

disposed by the Base are of four basic types:

      •  Lead-acid batteries:  used in motor vehicles and solar powered aids to navigation.
         They are wet, rechargeable, and usually six-celled, containing a sponge lead anode,
         lead dioxide cathode, and sulfuric acid electrolyte. This electrolyte is corrosive and
         requires disposal as a hazardous waste unless the battery is recycled or reclaimed.

      •  Nickel-cadmium  fnicad) batteries:  usually rechargeable, containing  wet or dry
         potassium hydroxide as electrolyte. The potassium hydroxide is corrosive (pH 13.6
         to 14).   Therefore,  nicad batteries must be disposed of as  hazardous  waste or
         recycled/reclaimed.

      •  Lithium  batteries:  used as power source for portable  electronic equipment and
         emergency aviation equipment. All lithium batteries must be disposed of as hazardous
         waste or sent our  for reclamation.

      •  Strobe light battery cells:  small  14 volt strobe light battery cells used for powering
         hand held strobe  lights (commonly used  in emergency life vests).  They  must be
         returned  to the manufacturer or a battery recycler for regeneration or disposed of as
         a hazardous waste due to mercury content.


4.7.1 Draining Wet Batteries and Neutralizing Solutions Onsite

From the shipping records, it appears that occasionally batteries have been drained and the acid

placed in a container  for disposal off site as hazardous waste.  Wet battery acid  or alkali could be

neutralized at Base Ketchikan and the resulting solutions disposed  as nonhazardous liquid waste.

Battery cases can be sent back to the manufacturers for reuse. This option could reduce the quantity

of hazardous waste produced.  However, due to the additional labor this alternative would entail and

the additional risk to personnel, we do not recommend this option for Base Ketchikan. It may be an

option worth further consideration in the future.


4.7.2 Recycling Batteries

Several recyclers who take batteries were  contacted. Some will only accept lead-acid batteries; one

we contacted will accept all types of batteries.  One advantage of recycling batteries  over disposing

of them as hazardous waste is that they may be accumulated onsite for longer than 90 days before

shipment to the recycler. Consequently, the Coast Guard could wait until a large number of batteries

has accumulated in order to take advantage of lower shipping costs.

sl/ketchikan/wastemin.doc

-------
In the two cost/benefit analyses which follow (Tables 4-12 and 4-13), packing procedures and costs
were assumed to be the same for recycling as for disposal.  Seventy-five percent of the batteries are
assumed to be lead-acid; 25% are assumed to be alkali batteries. In Option A, the recycler is Chem
Pro  in Seattle, who will accept  all types of batteries at varying prices  per pound.  In Option B,
Standard Batteries in Seattle is the recycler, who will pay for lead-acid batteries based on the current
market price of lead. This value is currently about $.03 per pound.  In either alternative, significant
annual savings can be realized through recycling, and the hazardous waste stream is reduced.
4.8   PAPER. GLASS. ALUMINUM. AND OTHER SOLID WASTES
4.8.1  USFS Paper Recycling Program
Though actual purchase quantity information was not available, the use of white paper at Base
Ketchikan is significant due to the amount of duplication of various communications, the use of
several laserjet printers, and several photocopy machines.  The city of Ketchikan estimates that up
to 40% of its solid waste stream is comprised of paper, cardboard, and wood products.

Beginning in mid-1990, the U.S. Forest Service office in Ketchikan provided a collection point for
used paper.  (USFS contact is Ms. Jean Bartos,  225-3101.) The program had experienced enough
participation by October 1990 that USFS was seeking additional temporary storage space for the used
paper. The material was shipped to Bellevue, Washington where it was handled by a large recycler.
This pilot project was begun with the  hopes that a service organization would take it on.  Due to
depressed used paper prices and high shipping costs, the program did not pay for itself. Nonetheless,
it enjoyed participation by local government offices  and businesses in Ketchikan, and provided a
reasonable alternative to landfilling the paper.

A recycling facility in Saxman, near Ketchikan, is reported to have begun collections in April 1991.
Base Ketchikan could arrange with this facility for transportation  of recyclable materials including
paper, aluminum cans, cardboard, glass, and ferrous metals.

4.8.2  Citv of Ketchikan Recycling Program
The city of Ketchikan is currently considering a voluntary recycling program for paper (two or three
grades), glass, plastic, and aluminum cans.  The Director of Public Works (Mr. Fred Monrean) stated
that the  inspiration for such a  program  comes from  a sense  of limited material supply and
910521.0254
sl/ketchikan/uastemin.doc

-------
environmental concerns shared by the citizens of Ketchikan, rather than from limited space in the
city's landfill. The program, now in the feasibility study stage, is anticipated to start in mid-1991.
The city recognizes the Coast Guard Base as a major contributor to the local landfill, relative to other
landfill customers in the area. It would probably welcome the Coast Guard's willingness to participate
in a recycling program.

The Director of Public Works suggested that the Coast Guard could probably handle its solid wastes
differently now, in advance of a city-wide recycling program.  Mr. Monrean suggested that the local
metal scrapper would be willing to pick up metal scrap at the Base, if the Coast Guard would call him
(no  name or number was provided to us).  This would save  Base personnel from having to haul
unusable metal equipment to the landfill as well as save on landfilling costs.

4.8.3 Regional Recvcline Efforts
The Southeast Conference,  a coalition of Southeast Alaskan  community representatives, has been
meeting over the past few months to consider regional approaches for handling waste and recyclable
materials in Southeast.  The Alaska Ferry System is considering hauling bundled recyclables (not
paper) for  a very favorable  rate during the off season.  Coast Guard participation in both planning
and implementation of a regional recycling effort could be beneficial to all involved. Contact can be
initiated through David Wigglesworth, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.

4.8.4 Additional Solid Waste Alternatives
The Coast  Guard might consider the option of hauling some of the recyclable materials from Base
Ketchikan to  Seattle when  its larger  vessels are southbound.  For example, if  the Planetree were
scheduled for repairs at the Seattle or Bremerton shipyard, it might be able to transport used oil, used
batteries, glass, aluminum, or other materials to the Port of Seattle for overland transport to Seattle
area recyclers. This would provide savings in transport costs, although it could  be disadvantageous
in terms of schedule, frequency of delivery, and logistics.

Other solid wastes could be diverted from Base Ketchikan dumpsters.  These include laserjet
cartridges, food wastes, and lawn clippings. Spent laserjet cartridges from computer printers on the
Base can be recycled. Food  wastes and grass clippings could be composted, either on the Base or in
a community composting project. Compost is a valuable material for agricultural or garden uses, and
vegetative wastes use landfill space unnecessarily.

 Finally, silver recovery from the dental X-ray operation at the medical center may be another option
 for future consideration. Due to the high value of silver, recovery operations from developer and
 fixer solutions have been advantageous in many situations.  Feasibility at Base Ketchikan would
 depend on the volume of X-rays developed and the quantity of recoverable silver.

           5.0 FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1   SUMMARY OF ATTRACTIVE OPTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In the previous chapter, a number of alternatives for waste minimization and handling were described.
Some option combinations are complementary, for example, the application of oil/water separation
and using oil  for energy recovery. Others may not be.  We encourage a "system view" of waste
minimization alternatives to avoid the implementation of those which are not optimally compatible.

Table  5-1  summarizes the priority  waste  streams and  the waste minimization or management
alternatives described in Chapter 4. Each alternative and its associated first costs, net annual benefit,
and payback period are listed. An asterisk denotes a recommended option.

From the implementation of the recommended options,  the Coast Guard will be able to cut its
hazardous  waste  stream to a fraction of  the current level.  Disposal costs  will  also  decrease
dramatically.  With oil/water separation of bilge waste, recycling or energy recovery of used oil,
distillation of paint waste and solvents, and recycling of antifreeze, the liquid hazardous waste stream
could be reduced by as much as 80 to 85%. If blasting waste were found to be a nonhazardous waste,
and all batteries were shipped off site for recycling, the solid hazardous waste stream could be reduced
by 90 to 99%.  This reduction in hazardous waste could occur with an increase in other nonhazardous
waste streams, or in further waste reduction through recycling materials such as spent blasting grit.
There would be a significant reduction in the toxicity of a large portion of the waste.

The potential consequences of successful waste minimization at Base Ketchikan are significant, not
just in terms of dollars saved. Other benefits are: enhanced worker safety and health, reduction of
regulatory compliance effort, liability reduction, environmental benefits, and exemplary, precedent-
setting operations  for a federal facility.  These benefits are attainable through a combination of
technology, management methods, and increased awareness and understanding at all personnel levels.
5.2   SITE-WIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT
The following recommendations are offered to enhance the success of a waste minimization program
undertaken by the Coast Guard.  They are based on our knowledge of waste program management,
experience in new program development, and observations of federal facility operations.

 1.    Hazardous Waste Coordinator
      A civilian hazardous waste coordinator, whose primary responsibility is to oversee hazardous
      materials and waste management activities, would be able to provide greater emphasis to the
      program and would avoid the discontinuity in program management which may occur from
      rotation of Coast Guard personnel.

 2.    Shoo Waste Coordinators
      Better participation and "quality control" would occur if one person were designated in each
      area where waste is generated  to  oversee management of waste in that area and to be
      responsible for its proper handling.

 3.    Task Force
      A waste minimization task force comprised of the shop waste coordinators, the hazardous
      materials coordinator, and perhaps a higher ranking administrator, could be formed to provide
      input, new ideas, ongoing support, and  base-wide participation in a waste minimization
      program.  Often the best ideas come from within an organization at the operations level. In
      addition, this task force could encourage and participate in community waste reduction efforts,
      providing a forum for information exchange with Ketchikan Public Works, U.S. Forest Service,
      or other organizations.

 4.    Education
      Every employee should understand why it is important to deal with wastes carefully, how
      wastes must be handled, what the proper disposal methods are, who  is responsible for waste
      containers, and what the consequences are of mishandled wastes.

 5.    Specific Training
      Training in specific operations can  enhance waste minimization efforts. For example, skill
      enhancement for paint spray gun operators can help reduce paint loss due to overspray. In each
      process or operation conducted  at  Base Ketchikan, specific training could be offered to
      enhance personnel skills as well as to reinforce and improve waste reduction activities.

6.    Segregate Waste Streams
      Reduction in hazardous waste volume cannot occur without  segregation of waste  streams.
      Significant quantities of waste oil are currently being shipped offsite as hazardous waste which
      could potentially be recycled or burned for energy recovery if solvents and other contaminants
      were not mixed in with the oil.
910522.1239                                   5_5
sl/ketchikan/wastemin.doc

-------
7.    Label Waste Containers
      Each receptacle of waste oil, antifreeze, paint or other waste which serves as an accumulation
      point should be clearly labeled to indicate what may be dumped in. This will aid in waste
      segregation efforts.

8.    Store Paints and Solvents in Heated Areas
      Paint stored in outdoor paint lockers during the winter months can be ruined by freezing.
      Improved paint storage will reduce wasted paint.

9.    Improve Small  Quantity Procurements
      Minimize large quantity orders when only a small quantity is needed. More sharing/trading
      of materials (paints, adhesives, solvents) among shops should be promoted.

      The "83 stock" system  could be  utilized much more.  Increase employee awareness of its
      benefits, materials stocked, and access. Avoid ordering materials for which suitable substitutes
      (or existing supplies) reside in "83 stock."
5.3   CONCLUSIONS
Base Ketchikan has a tremendous opportunity to initiate a waste minimization program which could
have outstanding results.  The potential for reduction of the hazardous waste stream is very high.
Up-front capital investment to begin realization of waste reduction benefits is surprisingly small. The
total of new  equipment costs  for oil/water  separation,  oil recycling, paint waste  and thinner
distillation, antifreeze purification is approximately $45,350.  Recycling batteries and landfilling
nonhazardous blasting waste would require no additional expense. The total net annual benefit from
implementing the recommended options is estimated at over $112,000. If the liquid hazardous waste
stream were reduced 80% and the solid hazardous waste stream reduced 90%, hazardous waste disposal
costs would drop to less than $90,000 per year.

The favorable economics associated with  waste minimization speaks  for  itself.  We do well to
remember that changes in dealing with waste require attitudinal and "cultural" changes, because habits
are slow to die and new ways of doing things are not always quickly accepted, no matter how
effective they may be.  A fully integrated  implementation plan which inspires participation at all
levels may enhance the success of any technology and/or management alternatives selected by the
Coast Guard.

            COMPLYING WITH THE NEW RCRA TOXICTTY CHARACTERISTIC AND TCLP
                                          By Ktnrxth H. Kftttner*

     On March 5.1990, Administrator William K ReHlyofthe Environmental Protection Agency signed the new tox-
   icity chorocterufic (TC) and toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) final rule.' EPA estimates that
   the rule will nearly triple the amount of waste that is considered hazardous under the Resource Conservation and
   Recovery Act. and will directly impact 15*000 generatort. This u because the new rule would tubject to hazardous
   waste regulation any watte that has one or more of 25 organic constituents above the very low regulatory
   concentrations. Some of these constituents are common in industrial operations, tuch as benzene, chloroform.
   IrichloToethylene. vinyl chloride, and carbon tetrachloride.
  Companies that generate or manage hazardous wastes that
exhibit this  new toxicity  characteristic will have only six
months, or until late September, to comply with many of the
requirements of the new rule. Small quantity generators will
have 12 months.
  The companies  will first  have to determine, usually  by
testing,  whether any of their wastes eihibit the new TC. If
they do, companies will quickly have to develop compliance
strategies by considering complex issues regarding permits
and permit exemptions, operation and design standards for
units used to manage TC  wastes, land disposal restrictions,
corrective action measures, and other hazardous waste man-
agement requirements. Timely compliance will be a daunting
challenge, especially for the hundreds of companies that have
so far stayed out of the RCRA hazardous waste program.
  To assist companies in  their compliance efforts, the key
features of the rule as well as steps companies should take to
attempt to comply with the  new rule by September of 1990
are described below.

                     Key Features
  1. The rale provide* that waste b a hazardous waste uder

coestitneDtj at Table 1 at a concentration equal to er greater
tkai the respective regulatory level oc tfce Table.
  Note that Table 1 includes eight metals, four insecticides,
and  two herbicides that are currently  regulated oder the
Extraction Procedure toxicity characteristic test These con-
stituents and their regulatory leveb were not changed by the
new rule. Rather, EPA has added 15 organic constituents to
the 14 EP toxicity characteristic constituents, resulting in •
new TC covering 35 distinct constituents.1
  2. TV final rale does not coo tale 13 coutlMeati tkat EPA
proposed to regvlste, although EPA says It may aMresi them
IB a fetore, unspecified ftotice.
  EPA  deleted seven previously proposed TC constituents
because they exhibit a  high degree of hydrolysis (chemical
reaction with  water). The agency's model does Dot account
for significant hydrolysis, and EPA does not have toxidty
data for hydrolysis products. These deleted constJtaeats are:

  Additionally, EPA deleted six constituents it bad proposed
for regulation because the "steady-state" assumption in
EPA's model is inappropriate for these six constituents. The
constituents art

  phenol

  3. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure most be
 •sed for aD TC wastes,
  In determining whether a waste stream exceeds the new
 TC regulatory levels, a company must compare the concen-
 tration of the liquid extract from the waste to the regulatory
 levels. The liquid extract  must be obtained by using the
 TCLP.
  The only exception is when the waste contains less than 0.5
 percent filterable solids. In that c»*f. the waste itself, after
.filtering, is considered to be the eztract
  IV rale also requires that the TCLP must be os*d on
 metals, insecticides, and herbicides that have been regulated
 under the old EP toxicity test. Because the TCLP can be a
 more aggressive leaching protocol than the old EP, compa-
 nies may find that certain waste streams that formerly did
 not exhibit the EP toxicity characteristic will become TC
 hazardous wastes when the TCLP is applied.

  EPA has set the levels for 2,4-dinitrotoluene, bexaehloro-
 benzene, and pyhdine at the commonly measurable levels
 ("Practical Quntitatioc. Limit") for these constituents, be-
 cause their health-based regulatory levels would have been
 below normal detection  limits.

  Step fc If interim status/permits cannot be avoided, take
the necessary steps to obtain or amend your facility's interim
status or permit status within the attached Table 1 timeline,
and meet the applicable design, operation, record-keeping,
financial responsibility, and other requirements for the units
that are being used for the TC wastes.
  Step 7: Anticipate the land disposal restrictions, and plan
for compliance  or develop alternative strategies.
  The statute requires EPA to issue land disposal restrictions
(LDRs) no later than six months after the "identification" of
the TC. It is unclear whether the TC is "identified" OB the date
it appears in the Federal Register or six months thereafter,
when it is effective.
  The  preamble to the TC rule can be read to support both
interpretations. If the Federal Register publication starts
the LDR clock  ticking, EPA should promulgate restrictions
for TC wastes by late September 1990. If the effective date
starts the LOR clock ticking, EPA should promulgate restric-
tions by late March 1991.
  The  timing issue is further complicated by the fact that a
federal district court is currently considering whether to
order EPA to issue LDRs for TC wastes by a date the court
would specify.' Whatever the date, if EPA fails to meet it the
TC wastes are not automatically prohibited from land dispos-
al as has been the case for all wastes previously subject to the
LDRs. Since there is no "hard-hammer," EPA will probably
not promulgate the LDRs until it has adequate treatability
and capacity data to do so.
  Because the  capacity data will not be available until at
least early 1991, after EPA receive* TC generator notifica-
tions,' disposal restrictions for TC wastes are not likely to be
finalized before late March 1991 and possibly much later. For
current planning purposes, you  should probably assume
LDRs for TC wastes will be in effect by late March 1991. but
it is very possible that this date will change.
  Just as important as the timing is the fact that in the Nov.
22.1989, proposed "third-third" LDR rule, EPA proposed to
prohibit land disposal for many EP toxicity characteristic
wastes unless the wastes are first pretreated to concentra-
tions that are often well below the EP toxicity characteristic
regulatory levels.  As an example, under the EP toxicity
characteristic, a waste is hazardous if It has 5.0 milligrams
per liter or more of chromium. Under the proposed "third-
third"  LDR rule, such waste water would have to be treated
to 0.32 mg/I prior to land disposal, even if the waste water,
through aggregation or treatment, had  less than 5.0 mg/1 of
chromium (i.e., was not a hazardous waste) prior to it being

  EPA may similarly require treatment to below characterfj
istic levels for many of the new TC wastes. If so,  many TC
wastes would have to be incinerated prior to land disposal to
meet the low levels EPA would likely propose for most of the
solvent TC wastes. As such, you should be exploring options
for pretreatment by incineration, or better yet, find ways to
eliminate use of land disposal units for TC wastes.
  Step  I: Anticipate the minimum technological require-
ments,  and plan for compliance or  develop alternative
strategies.
  After the effective date of the TC rale (late September
1990), any new  landfill, surface impoundment, or waste pile
that is used for TC waste (as well as any lateral expansion or
replacement of sach nits) most have table-linen and a
kackatt eoOectke and teak detection system. Moreover, by
lev years thereafter (September ItM), a existing surface
inpondmeat that is osed for TC waste nmst be retrofitted to
meet these minimum technological requirements. EPA also
wffl consider In Its disposal restriction rale for TC wastes
whether to shorten this four-year time period for retrofitting
impoundments and whether to require retrofitting of landfills
In situations where such units are used to manage TC waste
that has been granted an LDR capacity variance.
  Step ft Anticipate closure requirements, and plan for com-
pliance or develop alternative strategies.
  Units that receive TC wastes after the effective date (late
September 1990) will eventually have to dose pursuant to
stringent RCRA Subtitle C closure requirements. Gosore will
be triggered when the unit ultimately stops receiving hazard-
ous waste unless the facility applies to delay closure, which is
a limited option for certain units.
  Step 19: Anticipate corrective action requirements, and
plan for compliance or develop alternative strategies
  If your facility will have to obtain RCRA interim status for
the first time because it will manage a TC hazardous waste,
the entire facility will become subject to the RCRA correc-
tive action program. This could result in a requirement to
remedy  contamination  throughout your  plant site. On the

other hand, if jour facility had interim status, to to interim
•Utat, or it subject to permitting for managing other ooo-TC
hazardous wastes, it is already subject to RCRA corrective
action, regardless of whether you will also manage new TC
wastes.
  SUp 11: Anticipate the LDRs that will apply to TC wastes
at remediation sites,  and plan  for compliance or develop
alternative strategies.
  When you remedy  tites under the  superfund law, RCRA
corrective action, closure, and the underground storage tank
program,4 or when you  do  general  plant excavation  and
construction, you may remove wastes, contaminated soil,
debris, and  ground water that  exhibit the TC After EPA
prepares disposal restrictions for TC wastes, these wastes
and  contaminated media generally cannot be removed and
placed back in a land disposal unit or on the ground unless the
wastes and media have been pretreated  to very low LDR
treatment standards.  Companies should consider trying to
"beat" this LDR clock at remediation and excavation sites.
Try  to remedy all TC wastes and  TC-conUminated  media
prior to EPA's promulgation of  LDRs for  these wastes. This
will  avoid significant delays and expense.

Dear Joe,

Included  are  the bioassay  results  on your  samples  Kleen Blast
#16/30 raw and  Tru-Grit heavy grade. The  testing was performed
following DOE  173-303,  method 80-12  testing requirements designed
to classify material as either dangerous waste, extremely hazardous
wastes or non  classified as far as bioassays are  concerned. This
testing is required by the Washington  State Department  of Ecology
before material  can be disposed of, either in landfills or by other
means.
Please note  that the  testing I performed did  not duplicate the
testing performed by the Canadian labs that was  in  the  information
you  mailed me after the tests had begun. In the testing  I performed
the  trout were exposed to  your materials at concentrations  of J.OO
and  1000ppm(.01 and .1%).  The testing  performed  in Canada exposed
trout  to concentrations ranging from 1000 to 100000ppm(.l to 10%).
If  you would  like  to duplicate the work that  was  performed in
Canada the tests would have to be repeated at higher concentrations
of  your material.  Since they exposed the trout to  a  variety of
concentrations you  would  need to select  the concentration that
would  satisfy  their requirements to  avoid unnecessary testing and
additional expense.
The  results  of your material showed  5  out of  30  trout mortalities
in the lOOOppm exposure of the Tru-Grit heavy grade material and
1 out  of 30 mortalities in the lOOOppm exposure  of  the Fleer. 'Blast
#16/30 raw.  There  were no  mortalities  in either of  the   lOOppm
exposures. The results indicate that your material  is unclassified
as far as bioassays  are concerned in Washington  State. There would
have had  to  have been 11 mortalities before the state would have
imposed any restrictions.
If you have  any  questions about the  information  or you  want.to
perform any  additional testing please do not  hesitate to give me
a call. I  appreciated the opportunity to perform this work for you.
 sincerely,
Christopher L. Getchell
Oceanographer/Biologist

'HE SOLUTION  IS CLEAR:
 Continuously de-water,
 compact/and discharge
 paint solids. Reuse booth
 water indefinitely.  .
THE PROBLEM
The water wash spray booth continues to be a
valuable  and  necessary production tool for
entraining oversprayed paint solids. Historically.
these solids have been disposed of along with the
booth liquids during routine  maintenance  opera-
tions. As  environmental considerations  have
broadened, so have the costs of disposal of these
materials. It  is no longer a financially or
environmentally sound practice to dispose
of the entire contents of a water or oil-
based spray booth. In California, some paint
wastes command a disposal cost of $600 per 55
gallon drum plus pumping and trucking  costs.
Manpower costs to clean the remaining com-
ponents of the booth are. of course, additional.
As the number of disposal sites decreases
and as the classification of these wastes
becomes more  stringent,  disposal costs
will continue to  escalate. Clearly, controlling
costs in this activity is of ever greater importance.

The greatest savings to be realized will come from
minimizing the volume of wastes presented for
disposal. State and federal regulations notwith-
standing, it makes good business and sotial sense
to recover and recycle.- Adding  to the volume of
       * •              •     •        •'
waste by selecting dry booth panels, various filter •
media, ur massive dosing1 of clay media only adds
to the disposal costs.

                                        NOTE: It is useful to think of the solid phase of the paints you are currently using.
                                        If an average gallon of your paint is 50% solid and your transfer efficiency is 50%.
                                        then one-quarter of each gallon of paint sprayed is waste collected by the booth sump.
                                        By disposing of only this solid phase it is easy to see how the MICROSEPARATOR can
                                        reduce your disposal costs by as much as 75%.

 High Volume  Low Pressure as  it was meant to be.

The Binks Mach 1 High Volume Low Pressure Spray Gun is a conventional airspray with special modifications
and unique nozzles that allow the gun to operate within the SCAQMD* regulations. The air passage in the gun
handle incorporates a "sonic venturi" which limits air flow by creating a Mach 1 shock wave in the venturi
throat. Special air and fluid nozzles allow the gun to atomize the fluid at low air pressures and velocities,
creating a soft spray effect that produces high transfer efficiencies.

The sonic venturi and the gun nozzles interact to limit the air pressure to a maximum of 10 PSI at the nozzle.
 Normal operating pressures at the air nozzle are 3 to 5 PSI where the best transfer efficiency is obtained.

 Binks Mach 1 HVLP Spray Gun operates like a conventional spray system utilizing shop compressed air.
 No expensive turbines...no bulky, cumbersome "vacuum cleaner" type hoses. The Binks Mach 1 sprays
 like our most popular air spray guns that you have become accustomed to. No new techniques to learn.
 Mach 1 produces a finish quality that you expect from a Binks spray gun.

                                                                  Benefits of the MACH 1 HVLP System:

 *The SCAQMD (South Coast Air Quality Management District) is responsible
 for VOC emission regulations and enforcement in the Los Angeles basin. The
 current VOC regulations in Southern California are important to the coatings/
 finishing industry in the rest of the country, because other states tend to
 follow Southern California's lead in VOC rulemaking.                          HVLP as it was meant to be!
Binks Mach 1 HVLP Spray Gun Special nozzles and sonic venturi in the
air passage interact to limit the air pressure at the nozzle to a maximum
of 10 PSI. Complies with the SCAQMD regulations as a High Volume
Low Pressure (HVLP) air spray gun.

AUTOMATIC
What's so special about EMC Automatic Parts Washers?
Quite simply, it's the fact that they have been designed and constructed to
eliminate many of the basic operational and reliability problems inherent in other
parts washers.

CLEANING ABILITY
Obviously, you expect an automatic parts washer to clean. But,
how thoroughly it cleans can be dependent on a number of design
features. For example, most parts washers have a limited number
of spray jets arranged in a fan formation. The problem with this
arrangement is that most of the fans strike the parts a glancing
blow at an angle, losing most of their impact and cleaning ability.
                 Moreover, large parts with surfaces near the jets frequently have
                 untouched, uncleaned spaces; in turn, the fans frequently overlap
                 on small parts, impacting on each other and losing power by the
                 time they hit the parts.
                 By contrast, EMC washers employ arrays of parallel, straight jets,
                 spaced and staggered to strike at 3/4" intervals, thus ensuring
                 maximum impact and scrubbing ability.
                            Inefficient Cleaning
Thorough Cleaning
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Perhaps you enjoy the challenge, time and mess of periodically
trying to shovel or hose accumulated debris from the flat floor of
                 traditional washers. On the other hand, if you've better use for your
                 time, you'll appreciate the deep funnel floor and drain of EMC
                 washers. Just open the bottom drain and debris flows out for easy
                 disposal. Typical cleanout time is just 3 to 10 minutes with EMC
                 washers.

RELIABILITY
Having a machine down for repairs does nothing to enhance your operation's profitabil-
ity. So, EMC Automatic Parts Washers have been designed to eliminate some of the
worst troublespots.
Take the turntable drive system, for example. Other parts washers mount the drive
beneath the turntable where it's subject to a constant flood of washwater as well as the
grease and grime that's being removed. In addition, the weight of
the parts creates a leveraged, wearing strain on the bearings, if the
load  is not perfectly centered and balanced.  By contrast, EMC
washers are designed with the drive and turntable bearing at the
top of the cabinet, away from the wash fluid, and with a suspended
       |          turntable so that it is able to support weights with less strain and
                 wear.  EMC turntables rotate smoothly with the load anywhere
                 on them.
                 And, should repairs ever be needed, there is no waiting for special
                 parts to be shipped from the factory. The EMC washers utilize
                 common, industry-standardized components which are available

    Slash Washer-fluid Disposal Costs with the
                    WATER
    Why pay high disposal costs for "hazardous waste" fluids which
    are as much as 97% plain water? Eliminate the water first and
    slash your costs this safe, economical way.
    • Eliminates three to eight or more gallons of water per hour.

    • No drains needed; no sticky residue to dispose of.
    • Thru-floor electric-heating; no gas piping or flame hazards.

    • Power exhaust for easy venting.

                   Barrel Distiller Model  B-SC 200


The Barrel Distiller consists of an  insulated stainless  steel vessel
with cover and stainless steel condenser.  The vessel  is designed  to
accept a standard  55 gal drum.  Heat transfer liquid  (usually water,
glycol, or polyethylene glycol 400) is required to fill the vessel
around the drum.

Two  thermostatically  controlled   electric   heating   elements   in
explosion proof  housings are supplied to maintain the heat  transfer
liquid at  the selected temperature.  A  separate adjustable safety
temperature  switch  shuts   off  the heaters  in the  event   of   a
temperature rise above the set point condition.   Also provided is a
direct temperature gauge.   A threaded flexible pipe connection with
pressure  release  valve is  supplied to  connect the  2  inch barrel
opening with the externally mounted, stainless steel condenser.

Standard  control  instrumentation provided  use  intrinsically  safe
circuits  and  as such are  explosion proof in  accordance with NFPA
Class 1, Group D,  Division 1 requirements.  Included  are a  low flow
safety switch  for cooling  water,  thermostatic and high temperature
limit controls for the heating elements,  low  level  safety switch for
heat transfer liquid and vapor pressure relief valve.

An  electrical panel   is  supplied with  on-off  switch  and  power-on
light.    The  electric  heaters  are  interlocked  with  six  safety
contacts  (includes two spares).    Standard panel  is  not  explosion
proof  and  is approved for use with non-flammable  liquids  only,  or
for mounting  outside  of the hazardous area  (explosion proof  panel
optional).

J-SC 200  Barrel  Distiller
  claimer For Highly Contaminated Solvents
r
 olvents contaminated by resins, adhesives, rubber, paint
 ad similar components which produce a hard, rubbery or
 tky residue generally had to be disposed of untreated.
 Blvent reclamation was difficult or impossible.
    Barrel Distiller from Interel Corporation solves this
  iblem.
    equipment is surprisingly simple. A standard 55-gal
    , filled with the contaminated solvent is loaded into the
Barrel Distiller, which is partially filled with heat transfer liquid.
Qae transfer liquid is heated by electric immersion heaters
Id the solvent distilled from the drum. The concentrated
Kidue is disposed  of with the drum.

•e residue in the drum can be accumulated by repeated
Ings and distillation. As an alternative, the drum can be
illed with other residues prior to disposal. In any case, the
  uable solvent is recovered.
 I
                                                   Principle Of Operation

                                                   The Barrel Distiller consists of an insulated stainless steel
                                                   vessel with cover. The vessel is partially filled with heat
                                                   transfer liquid — typically water, glycol or polyethylene
                                                   glycol 400.

                                                   The 55-gal drum containing contaminated solvent is loaded
                                                   into the Barrel Distiller. The heat transfer liquid must surround
                                                   the drum to a sufficient  height.

                                                   The drum opening is aligned with the opening in the cover.
                                                   A pipe  connection is threaded into the drum port through
                                                   the opening in the cover and connected to the externally
                                                   mounted water cooled condenser via a flexible hose. A
                                                   safety pressure relief value is attached to the pipe connection.

                                                   Two thermostatically controlled electric heating elements
                                                   heat the heat transfer liquid  and the drum. The solvent
                                                   vaporizes at  its boiling point, liquifies in the water cooled
                                                   condenser and is collected in a receiving tank of 55-gal
                                                   capacity.
I 55-gal drum is easily loaded with barrel clamp.

-------
Shortest  Investment Return
Depending on quantity and cost of the recovered
solvent, the Barrel Distiller pays for itself in a few
months. Savings include:
• Reduced solvent purchases
• Reduced inventory of fresh and contaminated
  solvents
• Reduced transportation and disposal costs
• Reduced long term liability from hazardous waste
  disposal

Safety Controls
The Barrel  Distiller is designed for maximum safety
in operation. The heating elements will shut off
automatically if the cooling water flowrate falls below
the set point or if the heat transfer liquid level in the
Barrel Distiller falls below a minimum level. The
dual thermostatic controller cycles the heaters at the
selected set point and shuts off the heaters at a
second high temperature safety set point. A safety
pressure relief valve in the drum vapor pipe is set to
open at 7 psig.

 All instruments use intrinsically safe electrical
 circuits and therefore are rated explosion proof in
accordance with NFPA Class I, Group D, Division
hazardous  locations. The electrical control panel
with on-off pushbutton and indicator light is normais
supplied non-explosion proof and is approved for
use with non-flammable liquids only or for mountir
outside of the hazardous area. The panel is
available optionally in an explosion proof housing.

Vacuum System
Solvents which boil above 300°F require distillation
under vacuum to prevent cracking of the hydrocarbon
The Barrel Distiller is available with an optional
vacuum system for reclamation of high boilers.

      What is meant by land disposal?

 A  For purposes of the restrictions, Congress
 defined land disposal under RCRA section
 3004(k) to include, but not be limited to. any
 placement of hazardous waste in a landfill.
 surface impoundment, waste pile, injection
 well, land treatment facility, salt dome or salt .
 bed formation, or underground mine or cave.
 As a result of the inclusion of the phrase "any
 placement" in the definition, the restrictions
 extend beyond what is often considered "land
 disposal." For example, under this definition
 the restrictions also apply to treatment and
 storage surface impoundments.
      How is EPA going to implement the land
 disposal prohibitions?

 A  By each statutory deadline. EPA will
 promulgate treatment standards for the
 applicable hazardous wastes. Wastes that meet
 these treatment standards may be directly land
 disposed. Wastes that do not meet these
 standards must be treated before they are
 placed in a land disposal unit. The treatment
 standards are expressed  as performance
 standards and are based  on the best
 demonstrated available technologies (BOAT).
 Treatment technologies that may result in
 greater risk than direct land disposal of
. untreated. wastes will not be considered in
 establishing the treatment standards.
      Is there any way out of the treatment
 requirements?

 A   An applicant, usually the owner/operator
 of a treatment, storage, or disposal facility, may
 petition EPA to allow  land disposal of a
 specific waste at a specific site. The applicant
 must prove that the waste can be contained
 safely in a particular type of disposal unit, so
 that no migration of any hazardous
 constituents occurs from the unit for as long as
 the waste remains hazardous.  If  EPA grants the
 petition, the waste  is no longer prohibited from
 land disposal in that particular type of unit.
      Will the wastes still be restricted if there
 is not enough alternative capacity?

 A   If there is insufficient capacity nationwide
 of alternative treatment, recovery, or disposal
 technologies for a particular waste or group of
 wastes, EPA may grant a nationwide extension
 to the effective date of the .restriction.-The
 purpose of the extension is to allow time for
 the development of capacity. This extension
 may not exceed two years beyond the
 applicable statutory deadline for the waste.
  In addition, if individuals managing a
 restricted waste find that there is insufficient
 capacity for that waste, they may apply for a
 case-by-case extension to the effective  date.
 Among other requirements, applicants must
 demonstrate that they have entered into a
 binding contractual commitment to construct  i
 or otherwise provide the alternative capacity,  ll
 the application is approved, EPA may  allow up
 to a one-year extension (renewable once).
 During the period of the extension, the waste  iJ
 not subject to the land disposal restrictions.
     What if a waste cannot be treated to mee|
the standard?

A  In some situations, due to unique
physical and/or chemical characteristics, it ma\'
not be possible to treat a restricted waste to the
levels or by the methods specified in the
treatment  standard. Persons managing such
unique wastes can submit a rulemaking
petition under 40 CFR Part 260.20 requesting a
variance from the treatment standard. If the
variance is granted. EPA will establish a
treatment  standard specific to the
characteristics of that waste.  Until such time.
the waste  may not be land disposed.

   I
   n 1976, Congress enacted the Resource
 Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to
 protect human health and the environment
 from improper waste management practices.
 On November 8, 1984. the Hazardous and
 Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) were signed
 into law. imposing substantial new
 responsibilities  on those who manage
 hazardous waste. Among other things, the
 amendments prohibit land disposal of
 hazardous wastes beyond specified dates.
 unless a petitioner demonstrates to the
 Administrator of EPA that there will be no
 migration of hazardous constituents from the
 land disposal unit for as long as the waste
 remains hazardous..The prohibitions are
 intended to protect our environment from
 contamination by land disposal.
   Concurrently with the land disposal
 prohibitions. HSWA directs EPA to develop
 treatment standards for all hazardous wastes.
 These treatment standards will substantially
 reduce the loxicitvrbf the waste or the
 likelihood of migration of hazardous
 constituents  from the waste. Wastes that meet
 these treatment standards are not subject to the
 land disposal prohibitions.
  The amendments restrict the land disposal of

 AT LEAST TWO-THIRDS OF ALL LISTED
 HAZARDOUS WASTES

 May 8. 1990:
 ALL REMAINING LISTED HAZARDOUS
 WASTES AND ALL CHARACTERISTIC
 HAZARDOUS WASTES

   To implement the deadlines for "the thirds"
  in 1988, 1989, and 1990, the amendments
  required EPA to rank all  listed hazardous
 wastes so that wastes with high  intrinsic
 hazard and volume would be. restricted from
 land disposal first, and wastes with low
 intrinsic hazard and volume would  be dealt
 with last. The amendments also  required the
 Agency to use this ranking to  separate the list
 of wastes into a schedule of thirds. EPA
 published this schedule on May  28. 1986. in
 the Federal Register (51 FR 19300).
   The prohibitions for any particular waste
 become effective on the applicable statutory
 deadline, unless there is insufficient national
 capacity for alternative treatment, recovery, or
 disposal. If EPA determines that  such a
 shortage exists, the Agency may grant a
 national extension to the effective date (not to
 exceed two years beyond  the statutory
(deadline). The Agency may also grant
 extensions to the effective date on a
 case-by-case basis.
   EPA has promulgated a final rule which
 establishes a regulatory framework to
 implement the land disposal prohibitions. This
 framework includes procedures for setting
 treatment standards for hazardous wastes: for
 granting nationwide variances  from the
 statutory effective dates: for granting
 case-by-case extensions to the effective dates:
 and for evaluating petitions that attempt to
 demonstrate that continued land disposal is
 protective of human health and the
 environment. In addition,  the rule also
 establishes treatment standards and effective
 dates for the first class of hazardous wastes to
be prohibited: certain dioxin-containing wastes
and spent solvent wastes.
  The following are answers to some basic
questions  concerning the restrictions.

-------
 (^  Are these the only new requirements that 100 to
      1000 kg/mo generators must meet?

 A.  Not necessarily. While the items listed above
      briefly identify the basic new federal
      requirements for 100 to 1000 kg/mo generators.
      the actual requirements which go into effect on
      September 22. 1986  are more detailed. In
      addition, some states may impose more stringent
      requirements on small quantity generators. For
      example, four states (California. Louisiana.
      Minnesota, and Rhode Island) now fully,regulate
      all generators of hazardous waste, 100 to 1000
      kg;rn_> generators as  well as  larger and smaller
      generators. To be sure you understand all the
      requirements, state and federal, that .you. must
      meet, contact your state hazardous waste
      management agency.

 C^  What is a U.S. EPA Identification Number, and
      how do I obtain one?

 A.  A U.S. EPA Identification Number is a unique,
      12-character number that EPA assigns to
      generators and transporters of hazardous waste.
      and to owners/operators of facilities that treat,
      store, or dispose of hazardous waste. The
      identification numbers help EPA and states
      compile and  maintain a database on hazardous
      waste activities.
        To obtain an EPA  Identification Number, you
      should complete EPA Form  8700-12,
      "Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity.'' or a
      similar form  used by your particular state. To
      request the application form, contact your state
      hazardous waste management agency or EPA
      Regional Office. Along with  the. appropriate
      application form , you will receive instructions
      for completing the form and information on
      where you can get additional assistance.

 v£  Where do I obtain the Uniform Hazardous
      Waste Manifest to use when I ship my
.-..  L.....hazardous waste off my. plant site? .,- -

 A  A hazardous waste manifest is a multi-copy
      form that you must fill out completely and use
      to accompany your hazardous waste shipments.
      Some states print their own  versions of the
      Manifest with the state's name and logo and
      require use of the state Manifest form. These
      forms are available from state hazardous waste
      management  agencies. Many transporters and
      facilities may also be able to provide you with
      the correct Manifest.
        To determine which state's Manifest form you
      need to complete, use this system: (1) If the state
      to which you are shipping your waste has its
      own Manifest, use that Manifest form (2). If not.
      use the Manifest of the state in which your
      waste was generated. (3) If neither state requires
      a state-specific Manifest, you may use the
      "general" Uniform Hazardous Waste
      Manifest—EPA Form 8700-22—which you can
      purchase from some  commercial printers, or
      obtain from some transporters or waste
      management  facilities.
      Interel
      Corporation
      Environmental Control Systems
      What information is required on the Manifest?

 A  Effective September 22, 1986. federal law
      requires 100 to 1000 kg/mo generators to fill out
      all of the unshaded  items on the Uniform
      Hazardous Waste Manifest. (The completed
      Manifest will also fully satisfy Department of
      Transportation requirements  for shipping
      hazardous materials.) Even now, some states
      require generators to complete the entire
      Manifest, or to provide information beyond the
      items 3, 9, 11, 12, 13. 14, and 16 required under
      federal  law as of  August 5, 1985. To be sure you
      complete all necessary parts of the Manifest.
      contact your state hazardous  waste agency, your
      transporter, and your receiving facility.
     Why are there multiple copies of the Manifest?

 A  The Manifest form is designed so that shipments
     of hazardous waste can be tracked from their
     point of generation to their final destination, the
     so-called "cradle-to-grave" system. The Manifest
     is produced in a multi-copy'format so that each
     step in the shipment process can be
     documented. Thus, the generator of the
     hazardous waste completes the Manifest, and
     turns the shipment and remaining copies of the
     Manifest over to the transporter. The  transporter
     or hauler signs the Manifest, returns one copy to
     the generator, and turns the shipment and
     Manifest over to the facility that the generator
     designated to receive the waste. The facility
     signs the Manifest, gives one copy back to the
     transporter, keeps a copy, and sends the
     remaining copy back to the generator so the
     generator knows that the hazardous waste has
    . reached its intended destination. Some states
     require that a copy of the Manifest also be sent
     to the state hazardous waste agency each time a
     shipment changes hands. Generators are
     required to keep a copy of each  Manifest, signed
     by the designated facility, in their files for three
     years following the date of the shipment.
Q

A
What if the generator does not receive a final
copy of the Manifest confirming the facility's
receipt of the shipment?

Under the new federal regulations. 100 to 1000
kg/mo generators are not. as are larger
generators, required to file "exception reports."
However, while these generators are not
required to file an exception report. EPA
strongly encourages generators to use good
business practice and perform the necessary
follow-up to make sure their waste shipments
reach the destination facility. Should a shipment
be truly lost, it is in the generator's interest to
notify EPA or the state in order to minimi?*, anv
future lia"

-------
     Can a restricted waste be stored? .
                               •  - •

 A Storage is allowed for restricted wastes
 solely for the purpose of accumulating
 sufficient quantities of waste to allow for
 proper treatment, recovery, and disposal. EPA
 generally will assume that storage of less than
 one year is necessary for such purposes.
 However, an owner/operator storing for longer
 than one year must be prepared to demonstrate
 that such storage is necessary. (EPA is
 establishing a presumption that storage for over
 one year is not for the purpose of facilitating
 proper treatment, recovery, or disposal.) The
 limitation on storage applies only  to restricted
 wastes. Therefore, wastes that meet the
 treatment standards, or are granted an
 approved petition or extension, are.not subject
 to the storage restriction.
      When does open detonation and open
 burning constitute land disposal?

 A   Open burning and open detonation
 generally are used  to manage those wastes that
 are hazardous because they exhibit the
 characteristic of reactivity. The Agency
 believes open burning and open detonation of
 explosive waste generally constitutes treatment
 that should result in non-reactive residuals.
 The land disposal restrictions apply  only in
 those instances when the residual produced
 continues to exhibit the characteristic of
 reactivity and, therefore, continues to be a
 .hazardous waste. Treatment standards for
 characteristic wastes will be established by the
 May  1990 statutory deadline.


 O   How will  the November 8, 1986, final
 rute affect managers of hazardous wastes?
A      •-*»•-.-••••••      .....  • ••• •••  •••
      It will affect them immediately  in that it
 sets treatment standards and effective dates for
 the spent solvent wastes and certain
 oioxin-containing wastes. In addition, as noted
 above, it also establishes a framework for
 making future decisions implementing the land
 disposal restrictions for all hazardous wastes.
  The treatment standards for solvents are
 based on data from the following technologies:
 incineration, biological treatment, steam
 stripping, and activated carbon adsorption. The
 standards range from 0.05 mg/1 (milligrams per
 liter)  to 12.7 mg/1 for wastewaters containing
 spent solvents and from 0.05 mg/1 to  5.0 mg/1
 for all other spent solvent wastes. The
 treatment standards for dioxin-containing
 wastes are based on data from the incineration .
of these wastes at 99.9999-percent destruction
removal efficiency (ORE). The  standards for the
dioxin wastes require that the  wastes be treated
to a |pv«l hfilnw Hetftrtion (nim>ntlv one narl
  Interel
  Corporation
  Environmental Control Systems
   All treatment standards are expressed as
 concentrations in the leachate of the waste
 The leachate is obtained by use of the toxicm
 characteristic leaching procedure.
   EPA is granting a nationwide two-year
 variance to the effective date for all dioxin
 wastes and for certain solvent wastes due to
 capacity shortfalls. The solvent wastes which
 have been granted the variance are:
 • Solvent waste generated by a small  quantity
 generator of 100-1000 kilograms of hazardous
 waste per month.

 • Solvent waste generated from any remedial
 or response action taken under the
 Comprehensive Environmental Response.
 Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
 (CERCLA) or any corrective action taken under
 the Resource Conservation and Recover)- Act of
 1976 (RCRA), except where the waste  is
 contaminated soil or debris. HSWA specifies
 that contaminated soil and debris are not
 subject to the restrictions until November 8.
 1988.

 •  Solvent waste which is a solvent-water
 mixture containing less than one percent total
 F001-F005 solvent constituents or containing
 less than one percent total organic carbon.
 •  Solvent waste which is a solvent-inorganic
 sludge mixture or solvent-contaminated soil
 (non-CERCLA or RCRA corrective action)
 containing less than one percent total
 F001-F005 solvent constituents.
 -" Spent solvent wastes not covered by the
 two-year variance are restricted from land
 disposal effective November 8.1986.

Introduction
B-SC 200
SC100
Many industries are regularly confronted
with contaminated solvents generated
during equipment cleaning. Included are
operations in paint manufacture, fiberglass
fabrication, printing, parts degreasing and
electronic parts manufacture—to mention
only a few.

Many companies spend dearly for dis-
posal, transportation or off site reclamation
of spent solvents and shoulder unknown
responsibilities in the process. Interel
offers an economical solution for large
and small quantity generators.

Simple distillation units reclaim both
single and multi-component solvents.
These systems have the ability to solidify
residue waste for disposal at approved
waste sites. When solvent costs and
disposal costs are considered, payback
can be less than one year—even for
small operations.

Interel's solvent distillation systems may
be operated manually or automatically and
batchwise or continuously. These systems
range in size from 8 GPH to 150 GPH of
solvent recovery capacity.
Solvents contaminated by resins, adhe-
sives, rubber, paint or similar components
which produce a hard, rubbery or sticky
residue generally had to be disposed of
untreated. Solvent reclamation was difficult
or impossible.

The B-SC 200 Barrel Distiller solves this
problem.

The Barrel Distiller is unique as it recovers
spent solvent directly from a standard
55 gallon drum leaving the residue waste
right in the drum for easy disposal. Suc-
cessive filling of a drum consolidates
residues for lower disposal costs. The
drum is immersed in heat transfer liquid
which is heated by electric immersion
heaters.

The Barrel Distiller features stainless steel
construction, control panel, direct readout
thermometer, pressure gauge with relief
valve, liquid cooled condenser and safety
controls for unsupervised operation.

Optional items include: explosion proof
control panel, vacuum system, cooling
water regulator, transfer pump and adjust-
able timer.
SC 100 Solvent Reclaimer

The SC 100 Solvent Reclaimer consists
of a heavy gauge steel vessel which is
double jacketed with outer casings for heat
transfer liquid and insulation. The evapora-
tion vessel is equipped with two large,
compression sealed hinged doors for
access to the vapor space and to the
liquid sump for manual cleanout of dis-
tillation residues. The entire system is
mounted in a sturdy frame with removable
side panels.

The SC 100 has a solvent capacity of 100
liters (25 gallons) and distills from 5 to 10
GPH depending on type of solvent, con-
tamination and heat input rate.

The SC 100 includes a control panel, a
direct readout thermometer, pressure
gauge with relief valve, liquid cooled
condenser and safety controls for unsuper-
vised operation.

Optional items include: stainless steel
construction, explosion proof control
panel, vacuum system with intermediate
holding tank, automatic continuous filling
of dirty solvent, transfer pumps, cooling
water regulator, adjustable timer and
nitrocellulose safety quench system.

                                         The distillation systems Type A-SC vary
                                         in capacity from 200 to 2000 liters (50 to
                                         525 gallons). Distillation rates of 15 to
                                         250 GPH are a function of solvent heat of
                                         vaporization, contamination character-
                                         istics and the heat input capacity of the
                                         distillation unit.

                                         The A-SC systems consist of a heavy
                                         gauge steel internal vessel which is double
                                         jacketed with outer casing for heat transfer
                                         liquid or steam, and insulation. The evap-
                                         oration vessel is cylindrical with a conical
                                         bottom leading to a residue discharge
                                         valve. The vessel is equipped with a large
                                         compression sealed hinged access door
                                         and sight glass.
                                                                                 A-SC 1500 Solvent Reclaimer
The D-SC 200 Solvent Reclaimer consists
of a heavy gauge steel horizontal vessel
which is double jacketed with outer cas-
ings for heat transfer liquid and insulation.
The evaporation vessel is equipped with a
large compression sealed hinged door for
manual cleanout of distillation residues.
The entire system is mounted in a sturdy
frame with removable side panels.

The D-SC 200 has a solvent capacity of
200 liters (50 gallons) and distills 8-20
GPH depending on type of solvent, con-
tamination and heat input rate.

Automatic continuous filling of contami-
nated solvent is standard including
transfer pump with explosion proof motor
controlled by an induction type high/low
level sensor with automatic timer shut-off
and high level safety shut-off with alarm.

The standard cooling water control system
regulates water consumption automatically
depending on the distillation output.
A modulating water valve is controlled to
maintain desired set point for cooling water
exit temperature.

The D-SC 200 includes a control panel,
direct readout thermometer, pressure
gauge with relief valve, liquid cooled
condenser and safety controls for unsuper-
vised operation.

The vessel is designed for indirect heating
by forced circulation of externally supplied
thermal oil or steam and features an agi-
tator with self-adjusting teflon scraper
blades to prevent residue deposits on the
heat transfer surface. Explosion proof
motor with torque overload protection and
shaft vacuum seal are included.

The A-SC Solvent Reclaimers feature a

quench system.
A vacuum system is required for solvents
with a boiling temperature which exceeds
300°F Distillation at a lower pressure
reduces the distillation temperature thus
insuring a smooth distillation process
without cracking of hydrocarbons.

Vacuum systems feature explosion proof
motors and liquid cooling to remove heat
produced by the vacuum pump where
required.
                                         Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump

As solvent is recovered and cooled,
it is gravity-fed from the vacuum unit
to a 5-gallon distillate pail.

How  it  Works...
Boiling Chamber Filled
Solvent is poured or pumped into the
Teflon*-coated boiling chamber, which the
operator lines with a standard Stilbag. In
lieu of Stilbag, an optional Teflon-coated
Stilpan may be used.

Solvent Heated
After the chamber lid is secured, power
to the unit is activated. Heat is transferred
from the patented encapsulated heater
through the conductive walls of the
chamber directly into the solvent.
Vapors Formed
As the solvent boils, vapors form and pass
through the vapor tube into a water-cooled
shell-and-tube condenser.

Vapors Condensed
Vapors are condensed into a liquid state.
This clean, clear, 99%-pure distillate
gravity flows into an approved customer-
provided 15- or 55-gallon drum.
Cycle Completed
When visual check through sight glass
indicates no further distillate is available,
the unit is shut off and allowed to cool.

Residue Removed
After cooling, residue remaining behind in
the Teflon-coated boiling chamber is then
removed via the Stilbag or optional Teflon-
coated Stilpan.

                                             RESIN   CLEANER
Templex 853-R  is a highly effective emulsion cleaner used to remove wet resins from
layup tools and equipment  A versatile cleaner, 853-R  is used by boatbuilders, spa &
tub makers, tank winders and others in the reinforced plastics  industry to  clean a wide
range of resins. Iso and orthophthalic polyester, numerous epoxy, phenolic, and even
vinylester resins can be cleaned with 853-R. Clean up with acetone is no longer
necessary because 853-R  can be used successfully in lamination without the hazard
or environmental restrictions associated with acetone and methyline chloride.

     HOW 853-R WORKS
853-R quickly penetrates and softens resins, allowing
fast and thorough removal by mechanical agita-
tion. Unlike acetone, which will dissolve resin, hold it
in solution, and very quickly become sticky, 853-R
allows the majority of resin to settle from the
cleaning solution to form a cake at the bottom of its
container. 853-R consists of both anionic and
nonionic surfactants and a special dispersant package
to break up uncured resins, temporarily prevent the
cross linkage of resin molecules, and slow the action
 " catalysts.  Hardwater ions are controlled by
chelation while suspension and settling of resins are
modified by a proprietary organic dispersant for long
working life.

Mix one part 853-R with ten parts water at ambient shop tempera-
ture. Metal and plastic rollers are best cleaned using 853-R in
	^    conjunction with fixed brushes submerged beneath
            the Templex solution. Several strokes of the roller
            head and handle within the solution is usually
            enough to remove all resin. Depending on the type
            of resin and its gel state, further agitation may be
            necessary.
            Once cleaned, the tool

             Templex 853-R has been independently tested by
             Venus-Gusmer, a leading manufacturer of resin
          application systems, and has been found acceptable for
         flushing Venus spray equipment. Flush guns with a five to
       one 853-R solution, introducing air into the lines while
  flushing if possible. Rinse with water if gun is to be out of use for
more than eight hours. Prior to spraying resin and chop on a part, purg
the gun's tip of any remaining water with a short burst off-part.

Since working dulutions of 553-R are not considered dangerous
waste, resin remains uncontaminated and after settling from solu-
tion, hardening and air drying, may be disposed of according to
local landfill regulations. Resins that settle in the 853-R solution
but remain pasty can be mixed with catylized resin and hardened.

  Discarded liquids can be disposed of by several means. If sanitary
  sewer systems are accessible, authorities should be contacted for
  approval. Generally the waste is gravity filtered through paper or
  cloth media to remove suspended solids before being poured into
  a drain.
  Another disposal method is through the use of commercial
  evaporators, which can dispose of 50 to 1000 gallons per day
  cost effectively. Contact air quality regulators for permitting.

                      High  Purity  - No-odor  Solvent

Ti-750 is  a high purity  solvent used in many manufacturing  operations  because  of
its  low skin  irritation,  clean color, no  odor  and  relatively  fast evaporation rate.  High
 tolerance  manufacturing has made in  possible   to eliminate most  all sulphurs, acids,
                  chlorides  and carbonyls  from the  formulation.

                              PRODUCT BENEFITS

•LOW  ODOR-Ti-750 is almost odorless, making it ideal  for close working conditions
               •
.HIGH  SOLVENCY - KB value 27.

•HlfiBLJELAStt-Ti-750  docs not flash until over 144°F., therefore, Ti-750 is
  classified  as  a non-listed RCRA  waste.

•LOW  SKIN IRRITATION-TI-7SQ   is so pure that  many irritations associated with
  solvents  will not occur.

•POWERFUL -TJ.7SO  is  strong enough to penetrate  such deposits as tar,  asphalt,
  open gear compounds,  and  many  other  surface coatings  and  adhesives.

•SAFER THAN  MOST  SOLVENTS- Ti-750  can be used  in certain areas of direct food
  contact under FDA  CFR172.882  and  172.884 and certain indirect food applications
  under FDA CFR178.3530  and 178.3650.

•ELECTRTC   MOTOR  CLEANED - Ti-750 may be  used on non-operating electrical
  equipment  and  is safer  than chlorinated solvents.   Always blow  dry equipment
  after cleaning  with compressed air.

Ti-750  is  ideal  for  the following  uses:   Electric  motor cleaning,  parts  tanks,
cold soak tanks,  removing grease  and  oil on  production  floors  in food  plants,
cleaning  oil  field and  pollution  cleanup equipment, printing  equipment,  paint
equipment,  construction  and  marine  equipment,  oil  and grease  spills,  removing
many waxes  and adhesives.

              Production  Washing  Compound
Micro-C is  designed to completely clean most all metal surfaces and
          leave  them free  of most oils, dirts, processing fluids,
          stamping compounds and  other soils  commonly found in  a
          manufacturing   environment.

Micro-C is  safe on most  metals, will  not pit or darken  even
          nonferrous metals.

Micro-C is  highly  concentrated and maybe diluted many times  over
          to  give maximum cost  reduction.

Micro-C is  very versatile:  in  many cases it will replace dangerous
          petroleum solvents in production  cleaning  systems.

Micro-C uses many natural  and biodegradable raw materials, and  is
          many  times less costly  to dispose of when  compared to
          chlorinated or  petroleum solvents.

Micro-C may be used in spray,  dip, soak and other systems where
          heavy  soils need to be removed.

When used in the following operations, Micro-C has found great  success:
production parts  line cleaning,  heavy  equipment  wash  and degreasing,
industrial  floor cleaning, H.D. aircraft cleaning,  auto dealers, bilge cleaning,
hot water pressure washers (use  solvent-resistent  hose) and, most  other
operations where fast, effective cleaning  is  needed.     t

    This product does not contain any substance(s) listed as a carcinogen by
    NTP, IARC, or OSHA.

    PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVEL: None established

    PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption.

    EFFECTS OF OVER-EXPOSURE  (Acute/Short Term); FOR PRODUCT
       EYES: Causes severe irritation.
       SKIN: Causes severe irritation and is absorbed through skin.
       BREATHING: Inhalation of vapors or mists could cause pulmonary
          irritation, dizziness, and nausea.
       SWALLOWING: Ingestion of this material causes burns to the esophagus
            and could be fatal.
    FIRST AID
       IF IN EYES: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at  least
          minutes.  Call a physician.
       IF ON SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin area
          with soap and water.
       IF SWALLOWED: Do not  induce vomiting.  Call a physican immediately.
          Give lemon juice or vinegar in water.  Never give anything by mouth
          to an unconscious person.
       IF BREATHED: Remove person to fresh air.  If not breathing, give
          artifical respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth.  If breathing is
          difficult, give oxygen.  Call a physician.

    EFFECTS OF DVEREXPOSURE  (Chronic/Long Term); FOR PRODUCT OR COMPONENTS
       Prolonged or repeated breathing of sprays, mists, or dusts in excess
       of the suggested TLV may cause nasal and respiratory irritations.

       This product contains 2-butoxyethanol as indicated in Section II.
       Supplemental information on this material is given below for chronic
       effects observed with experimental animals and humans.
       Exposure of rats by inhalation to 2-butoxyethanol caused hemolysis,
       hemoglobinuria (blood in the urine), and a slight increase in liver
       weight.  Other species, including man, were less sensitive or more
       resistant to hemolysis.  The hemolytic effect in rats was transitory
       and/or reversible and not considered to be relevant to human health.
       Inhalation exposure of pregnant rabbits caused some lethality to  the
       dam and fetus at EOO ppm, but there were no effects st 1OO ppm  and
       below.  Inhalation exposure to pregnant rats caused irritancy to  the
       dams and related fetotoxicity at 200 and 100 ppm, but there were  no
       effects at 50 ppm and below.  S-Butoxyethanol did not cause birth
       defects in either study.

 Reference: Approval of Ameroid "OWS Quick Separating Degreaser"

 Dear Mr. Nolan:

 Facet has tested the Ameroid "OWS Quick Separating Degreaser" with a scaled down
 model of our oily-water separator. The results of our testing were:
 Test $1)   Influent -  water + 5% oil, no cleaner, mixed then allowed to stand 24
                      hours.  Effluent oil content = 35 ppm

 Test #2)   Influent -  water + 5% oil + 0.17% Ameroid OWS, mixed then allowed to
                      stand 24 hours. Effluent oil content = 8 ppm

 Test #3)   Influent -  same as Test ill but allowed to stand only 5 hours.  Effluent oil
                      content = 225 ppm
                                               t
 Test #4)   Influent -  same as Test H2 but allowed to stand only 5 hours.  Effluent oil
                      content = 50 ppm

 Our testing shows that when used as recommended, the Ameroid OWS Degreaser has no
 harmful effects and actually improves the performance of the single-stage Facet Oily-
 Water Separator.
Very truly yours,

Application
Bilge Cleaning
To clean oil from the bilges by the rock and roll
method, add AMEROID* OWS at one or more
locations in the bilge at the approximate dosage
level indicated in the table. Add seawater to fill
approximately !/3 of the bilge capacity and allow
the natural rock and roll motion of the vessel to
provide agitation for a minimum of 24 hours. At
the end of 24 hours, pump the bilge in accordance
with normal procedures, inspect, and if required,
repeat the procedure or spot clean.
Precautionary statements
General Degreasing
For general purpose cleaning and degreasing, use
AMEROID* OWS neat or diluted with fresh or
seawater depending on cleaning required. If spent
cleaning solutions are to go through an oily water
separator, ensure that the concentration does not
exceed recommended levels by separator
manufacturers and if possible, allow time for
settling and separation to occur.

              PARTS WASHER RENTAL
                THE WHOLE STORY
   Even though you subscribe to a  parts  washer
   service  that exchanges spent dirty  solvent
   for fresh, the E.P.A. and D.O.E.  regulations
   still    consider   that  the  solvent   and
   resultant  dangerous  waste  is  still  your
   "cradle-to-grave"    responsibility.     The
   following  effects are the direct result  of
   the responsibility.
   *   If  your hazardous waste  disposal  never
   exceeds 225 Ibs.  in a given month,  you are
   conditionally  exempt from most of  E.P.A.'s
   and D.O.E.'s requirements.
   *  Disposal  or  exchange  of  rental  parts
   washing fluid  counts as part  of your site's
   hazardous  waste  disposal  and  can  easily
   cause you to exceed the 225 Ib.  limit.   If
   this    happens   you   will   lose    your
   conditionally  exempt status,  and you  will
   have  to apply for an E.P.A.  Identification
   number and comply with extremely complicated
   record keeping and  procedural regulations.
   * Most rental solvents contain trace amounts
   of  the dangerous aromatic hydrocarbons  and
   have very low threshold limit values on  the
   Material   Safety  Data  Sheets  and   these
   solvents can cause skin cancer.

               THE EDGE TEK STORY
   The  Edge-Tek  Filter  System is  a  compact
   inexpensive   ultra  filter  that    removes
   particulates  and other contaminants from  a
   variety of liquids.

   The  Edge-Tek  System  Filters down  to  one
   tenth  of a micron and  has been  particulary
   useful in:
   *  Filtering special  parts washer  solvents.
   Used  in  conjunction with compatible  parts
   washing solvents (Citra Safe or  Partsmaster
   140),  the  Edge Tek  Filter keeps  dangerous
   heavy  metal contamination to minimal levels
   and    minimizes   carbon   and    petroleum
   contamination.    Test sites are experiencing
   no need for solvent disposal;  they just add
   solvent to replace  for evaporation  and drag
   out, and replace filters as needed.
   *  It is estimated that the on-line  use  of
   the Edge-Tek Filter System will indefinitely
   postpone  the need to dispose of or exchange

                    PREP-TONE
   PREP-TONE  is  a  unique  water  based   solvent
   formulated with no solids, that replaces Methyl
   Ethyl Ketone, lacquer washers. Acetone,  Xylene,
   and   Toluene   for  most  suface   preparation
   applications.  PREP-TONE is an ultra-safe, bio-
   degradable  surface  preparation compound  that
   replaces   hazardous   petroleum    distillates
   commonly used to prepare metal, plastic, fiber-
   glass, and other  surfaces for  the acceptance
   of paint and other coatings.

   PREP-TONE'S  low  toxicity,  non-flamable,  and
   biodegradable nature insure that its use  will
   improve  plant safety, decrease disposal costs,
   and  reduce  the risks  of  hazardous chemical
   spills.  It's  economical nature allows  it  to
   compete    favorably   with   the   traditional
   petroleum   distillates  such  as  M.E.K.   and
   lacquer washes.

   Surfaces to be prepared, should be sprayed then
   wiped with Prep-TONE or they can be wiped  down
   with  a rag dampened with PREP-TONE followed by
   a dry rag wipe. This removes all oils, greases,
   mill  scale,  finger  prints and other   surface
   contaminates that can  interfere  with   proper
   bonding of the coating to be applied. PREP-TONE
   leaves no  residue and leaves  a  paint ready
   surface when dry.

   PREP-TONE is designed as a suface prep only and
   is  not recommened as a thinner for paints  and
   other coatings.

                           CITREX
 A bio-degreadable carburetor cleaner and cold tank compound.

 In  order to meet a critical need in  the  industry,  Inland
 Technology has developed a bio-degradable,  non-toxic, easily
 disposable  cold  tank compound.   Citrex  has cleaning  and
 stripping   performances  equal  to  traditional   cold  tank
 compounds   without  the  toxicity  and  disposal  problem
 associated with them.

 Citrex  contains no Methylene Chloride,  Cresylic   Acid,  or
 Dichlorobenzene.  None of its components appear on O.S.H.A's
 "Z"  list of hazardous chemicals and none of  its   components
 are  listed by Section 313,  of S.A.R.A. Title III,  or  by
 Section 302, of R.C.R.A.  This means that Citrex can be used
 with confidence regarding safety and can be disposed of with
 a minimum of cost and reporting.  Since Citrex contains  no
 chlorinated  solvents,  its  use  eliminates   the   risk   of
 contaminating stored waste oil.

                  CITRA-SAFE
Citra-Safe is an ultra safe industrial solvent
produced   from  all  natural,   non-petroleum
distillates.   Citra-Safe is far safer to work
with than chlorinated petroleum solvents.

Citra-Safe exhibits no toxic properties,  has
no  threshold  limit value  or  P.E.L.  limits
imposed  upon  its usage in the workplace  and
has no carcinogenic properties. In fact Citra
Safe does not contain any hazardous  componets
as defined in 29 CFR 1910.

Citra-Safe   is  literally  a  bio-degradable
solvent   replacement  for  mineral   spirits,
thinners and chlorinated solvents.  The use of
Citra-Safe    reduces   risks  of   hazardous
chemicals  spills,  eliminates  most  hazardous
waste  disposal  costs,   and  eliminates  the
health   hazards  associated with   petroleum
solvents.    The   absence  of  any  petroleum
hydrocarbons  in  Citra-Safe allows  disposal
after   soil   release   into  satisfactorily
operating effluent treatment plants.

Citra-Safe removes tough greases,  oils,  tars
and  other contaminates from metals,  painted
surfaces,   ceramic,   fiber glass  and  many
plastics.   It  is also effective in  removing
some  glues,  and resins,   and  can be used  to
remove  oil  based  stains  from  carpets  and
upholstery.   Its ability to evaporate totally
after use makes Citra-Safe an ideal   replace-
ment  for  hazardous chlorinated  solvents  in
cleaning  electrical parts and  apparatus.  Its
ability  to safely clean  polyethelene  grease
and  "Icky Pic" from flooded telephone  cables
and  semi-conductors  has  made  Citra-Safe  the
solvent of choice for many telephone and power
utilities.

through   has   no   listed  components   and   has   no
characteristics of hazardous waste per E.P.A  and D.O.E.
regulations.

In  effect,  in  its uncontaminated form,  the  use  and
disposal  of Break-Through is not regulated by O.S.H.A.,
E.P.A.,  R.C.R.A,  S.A.R.A. Title III or the various air
emmission   regulations   regarding   volatile   organic
compounds and photo-chemically reactive solvents.

Breakthrough  has  moderate solvency and  removes  oil,
grease,  inks,  wax and other deposits.   Its controlled
evaporation   and   relative  freedom  from   regulatory
restrictions  make it ideal for parts washing and  other

MARINE SEPARATOR
                                                       The CPS-3 is designed for manual
                                                       or fully automatic operation, and
                                                       requires very little maintenance.
                                                       Only periodic cleaning of the plate
                                                       packs is required for normal
                                                       operation. The unit also eliminates
                                                       the need for any holding tanks,
                                                       and the need for waiting in line for
                                                       discharge to an on shore facility.
                                                       This saves valuable time as well
                                                       as cost.

plates. Oil particles of 20 microns
and larger adhere to the oleophilic
surfaces of the plates and migrate
upward, in accordance with Stokes
Law. These particles are then
       coalesced into "sheets" of oil on
       the underside surfaces of the
       polypropylene plates. The
       coalesced oil rises in the form of
       large globules through the plate
       weep holes to the surface of the
       separator.

       The CPS-3 is designed so that it
       will not be damaged or spill liquids
       under extreme conditions.

       There is no need to change the
       coalescing elements in the CPS-3,
       only periodic cleaning of the plate
       pack is required. This eliminates
       costly cartridge storage and
       disposal, thus reducing operating
       costs dramatically.

       Fram offers computerized
       selection and performance
       prediction, with  standard  design or
       custom engineering.

INTRODUCING THE NEW
FACET MARK VIII BILGE ALARM
OIL CONTENT MONITOR.
   MARK VIII CONTROL MODULE
MARK VIII SENSING MODULE

-------
! The new Mark VIM Bilge Alarm
 represents the latest technology in  '
 oil content monitors from Facet.
 Completely tested, approved and
 certified to U.S. Coast Guard
 regulations, 46 CFR, Part 162.050 -
 31, it also meets I MO Res. A. 393 (X)
 (Intergovernmental Maritime
 Organization).

 The Mark VIII continuously monitors
 dispersed oil in process water
 streams from 0 to 100 ppm. Using
 the principle of light scattering
 to detect trace amounts of oil-
 in-water, the Mark VIII offers a
 high level of accuracy in an eco-
 nomical, compactly designed two-
 module instrument. Both modules
 are water-tight and corrosion-
 resistant for in-service application
 in the toughest, most severe environ-
 mental conditions.

 Standard Design  Features:
 • Continuously monitors dispersed
  oiMn-water from 0 to 100 ppm
 • Warning lights and dry contacts
  designed to actuate diversion
  valves or remote alarms
 • Compact design in watertight
  cabinets
 • Infrared light emitting diode
  light source
 • Silicon photo diode detector
  highly sensitive to light scattering
 • Solid state electronics with a single
  printed circuit board for reliability
 • Bilge alarm time delay (adjustable)
 • LED indicator lights for power on,
  monitor recalibration and high
  ppm alarm
 • USCG certified for demanding
  marine conditions

 Light Scattering Detection
 Principle Assures
 Exceptional Sensitivity.
 The Mark VIII bilge alarm uses a
 centrifugal pump to take a sample of
 the processed water at the rate of
 5 gpm (.02 mVH). This pump highly
 disperses any oil in the sample, which
 is then pumped through the sensing
 column where the sample is analyzed
 for oil content by the principle of
 light scattering. Following analysis,
this sample is then returned to the
 process stream.
USCG CERTIFICATE NO. 162.050/3016A)


Tested, Approved And
Certified To USCG Reg. 46
CFR Part. 162.05O, And
Meets IMO Res. A. 393 (X)
The infrared light source is a Gallium
Arsenide (GaAs) diode which emits
infrared light at a wavelength of
8800 angstroms. The detector is a
silicon photo diode which has a peak
spectral response from 8000 to
9000 angstroms—it provides
exceptional sensitivity at its
operational wavelength.

A built-in preamplifier in the detector
boosts the signal sufficiently to
provide a very high signal-to-noise
ratio. This allows longer intercon-
necting wiring between sensing
station and control module making
the instrument less susceptible to
external interference. The Mark VIII
then conditions and amplifies this
signal for a linear readout from 0 to
100 ppm which is displayed on a
rugged analog meter.

Additionally, the alarm on the circuit
board has been pre-set at 15 ppm.
However, it is adjustable. When
effluent exceeds the set point the
red alarm indicating light will glow
and a set of dry contacts  is actuated.
These contacts may also  be used to
actuate diversion valves or remote
alarms.

LANCY CORRUGATED
 PLATE SEPARATOR
 Removes Oil and Solids from
   Wastewater...by gravity

-------
CORRUGATED PLATE
SEPARATOR (CPS)
    Basic  design  of the Corrugated  Plate
 Separator  for high solids load applications is
 illustrated at right. When wastewater enters the
 CPS  through  receiving  compartment A, its
 velocity is slowed to less than one foot oer second.
 This permits gross solids to settle out in the sand
 storage area and large oil globules to float to the
 surface. The influent then enters  separator
 compartment B.
    After passing  through a quiescent  zone,
 wastewater enters   the  Corrugated  Plate
 Interceptor (CPI) plate pack. Here the finer oil
 droplets and sludge are separated by gravity. The
 de-oiled   wastewater  flows   into   effluent
 compartment C and rises toward the outlet pipe.
    Both the separator compartment B and
 effluent compartment C are provided with a skim
 pipe, or weir. Height is adjusted to balance the
 hydraulic loads so that only oil can be skimmed off
 the surface. An oil layer is maintained in the inter-
 ceptor, with oil discharged automatically into the
 skimmer due to the difference in the specific
 gravity of oil and water.

 CAPACITY
     Because the CPI plate pack is a gravity type separator,
 its efficiency is determined by the rising or settling velocity of
 the smallest particles  that will be intercepted. Capacity,
 then, cannot be stated as a fixed value.
     The movement of particles is affected  by the rising
 height, flow conditions, Hquid flow velocity and particle size.
 Corrugated plates in the plate pack reduce the rising height
 and establish laminar flow conditions.
     Flow  velocity  is  related  to  the  through-put.  For
 example, with a standard plate space of 3/4' and quoted
 capacity of 130 GPM, the flow velocity is 1.8 ft./min. This
 means that all particles with a rising velocity of 0.42 in./min.
 (2.1 ftyhr.) will be intercepted. Particle size is determined by
 the difference in specific gravity between the  water and oil,
 at a given temperature. When the water temperature is 68*
 F and the difference in specific gravity is 0.1, then all oil
 particles 55 microns or larger will be recovered.
   •  It follows that the ppm content of the effluent depends
 upon the number of particles entering with the influent with
 a rising velocity of less than 0.42 in./min. To increase  the
 separating efficiency of the CPI plate pack,  these smaller
 particles must be intercepted. This can be done by reducing
 the flow velocity — that is, reducing the through-put
 per pack.
     The chart below illustrates the  relationship between
 capacity, particle size, temperature and  specific gravity for
 the Lancy  Corrugated Plate Separator.

 CPS DESIGN/APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
     To achieve a desired final concentration, the size of oil droplets that
' must be removed by the separator depends upon the origin of the waste-
                                       water. Normally, tank farm runoff will be less than 20 ppm if all oil globules
                                       larger than 90 microns are removed. Refinery waste streams, however, will
                                       generally be less than 20 ppm only when all oil globules larger than 60
                                       microns are removed.
                                       EXAMPLE: CPI Packs and Refinery Stream
                                           How many CPI packs are required to reduce a refinery stream of 1700
                                       GPM, containing 0.4% oil, to less than 30 ppm at a temperature of 68* F?
                                       Specific gravity, waters  .995, Specific gravity, oil * .895.
                                           Locate 68° F on the horizontal temperature scale of the chart below.
                                       Project vertically to intercept 60 microns on the  particle size scale. Next,
                                       project horizontally until crossing the differential specific gravity of 0.1
                                       (.995 versus .895).  Then, project vertically down to the through-put scale
                                       and read 150 GPM. Divide 1700 by 150 = 11.35  packs. Therefore, use
                                       twelve packs.
                                       EXAMPLE: CPI Pack load Versus Heavy Flow Conditions
                                           What is the CPI pack load required during various rainfall intensities for
                                       a given surface area? A nominal starting point for design is to use between
                                       1/2" and 3/4" per hour of rainfall to determine the number of packs. The oil
                                       concentration and droplet size will vary under storm conditions. At the
                                       beginning of the storm, much of the oil spilled on the platform and pads will
                                       wash into the sewer  with a relatively low volume of water. Thus, while the oil
                                       concentration is high, typically 2000-3000 ppm, the oil droplets are large in
                                       size (60 microns and larger).
                                          As the storm continues, the runoff rate increases while the oil concen-
                                       tration drops sharply. Nearly all the spilled oil has rinsed away. Because of
                                       agitation, oil droplet size is  reduced, with 2 to  3% dropping below 60
                                       microns. The concentration during this period normally is around 50 ppm.
                                           Although theoretically the flow through a  standard pack will remain
                                       laminar up to 700 GPM, at this load oil sludge particles tend to be washed
                                       from the plates into  the effluent As a result, storm water design normally is
                                       limited to 300 GPM.  This is chiefly because once the separator, downstream
                                       from the plate pack, becomes coated with oil,  it downgrades the effluent
                                       quality for several months.

                              LANCY COALESCER
                                       8200 Scries
        The Lancy 8200 series coalescing oil/water
    separator utilizes an innovative design to pro-
    vide highly efficient separation of dispersed oil
    and settleable solids from process or waste
    streams. The unique  coalescing medium re-
    moves oil droplets down to 20 microns in size
    while also tolerating moderate amounts of solids.
    This medium consists of multiple layers of alter-
    nating inclined corrugated plates. The design
    provides maximum oil/water separation capa-
    bility by utilizing three mechanisms of oil drop-
    let coalescence: gravity separation, tortuous flow
    path to promote collision of oil droplets, and
    the oleophilic (oil-attracting) nature of the
    medium.
        The inclined corrugations of the coalescing
    medium permit solids to settle and collect in
the sludge hopper for removal. This enables the
unit to handle suspended solids in the oily
water stream without plugging. The Lancy
coalescer is also effective in separating heavy
oils (SG > 1.0) which are then removed through
the sludge hopper. Two standard designs are
available. A low profile multiple hopper unit
(shown on front cover) is used for low solids
applications or for installations with height re-
strictions. The high profile single hopper model
(Series 8200 S, Figure 1) is used for high solids
applications (suspended solids > 300 ppm). All
standard units can be provided with integral oil
storage capacity up to 5,000 gallons if needed.
The coalescer can be installed above or below
grade. The compact design also makes it ideal
for concrete vault installation.
                                                        PERFORMANCE
                                                    Lancy coalescers are available in two con-
                                                 figurations to accommodate either low or high
                                                 solids loadings.

                                                    The standard coalescing medium is PVC.
                                                 Polypropylene is also available. The coalescing
                                                 medium is housed in modular packs which are
                                                 installed in sections and are easily removed.

                                                    Standard units can handle influent tem-
                                                 peratures up to 160° F and operate over a
                                                 wide pH range. By using alternate materials of
                                                 construction, units can be supplied to handle
                                                 temperatures over 200° F, a full pH range,
                                                 as well as streams containing solvents and
                                                 aromatics. Surges of up to 100% oil can be
                                                 accommodated.

                                                    At design flow rates, the effluent will con-
                                                 tain 15 ppm or less free oil and grease with
                                                 droplets 20 microns and larger being removed.
                                                 An optional polishing pack located downstream
                                                 of the main separation area can further reduce
                                                 the effluent oil and grease content.

                                                    The Lancy coalescer has no moving parts
                                                 and requires no electricity... making it easy
                                                 and inexpensive to operate and maintain

                           F.GUREI     8200 S Scries
    As shown in Figure 1, oily water mix-
tures are introduced into the primary dis-
tribution chamber either by pumping or by
gravity feed. Entering the unit through an
inlet deflector pipe, the liquid stream flows
through a slotted baffle to ensure even dis-
tribution across the full width and height of
the coalescing packs.
    In the coalescing zone, the liquid is for-
ced to move with sharp and abrupt changes
in direction. This tortuous flow promotes the
collision of the small oil droplets. These drop-
lets coalesce, grow in size, and eventually
become bouyant enough to move to the top
of the packs.
    The recovered oil layer, floating on top
 of the unit, is then collected by an adjustable
 trough or oil skimmer from which it flows to
 an internal or remotely located sump. The
 thickness of this layer depends upon the
 amount of oil in the influent and the height
 of the adjustable oil weir. Under stable flow
 conditions, the coalescer should maintain a top
 oil layer from two to six inches in depth.
    Solids and heavy oils will drop out of the
 medium  settling to the bottom of the unit
 and into  the sludge hopper for withdrawal.
    Clean effluent, leaving the series of coales-
 cing modules, flows under the oil retention baf-
 fle, over the adjustable weir and out of the unit.

3.0 UTILITIES AVAILABLE

        Important on systems where pumps, controls,
        etc. are required. Corrugated Plate Separator
        has no moving parts and, therefore, requires
        no utilities:
4.0  PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
    The separator shall be capable of treating a maxi-
    mum design flow of	gpm of oily water. The
    effluent from the equipment shall have a total free oil
    and grease concentration less than	mg/l
    and a  total suspended solids concentration less
    than	mg/l at the design flow rate.

        Please note that most laboratory oil determina-
        tions use an extraction method which gives
        total oil  and grease, not free oil. Separators
        only remove free oil.  Chemical treatment Is
        necessary to remove dissolved or emulsified
        oil.

5.0  DESIGN CONDITIONS
    The specified  oily water separator will serve to treat
    (describe water source.) The oily wastes shall flow
    (by gravity or pump) through the separator, which

6.0 CORRUGATED PLATE OIL/WATER SEPARATOR
    The separator shall be the inclined corrugated plate
    type. The unit will be complete and factory assem-
    bled. The separator shall be  designed  for instal-
    lation as shown in drawing	
         An Installation drawing Is the best Insurance for
         getting what Is specified.
    6.1 Separator Basin
       a. The basin  and its steel internals shall be
          fabricated of A36 carbon steel  plate with at
          least 1/4"  thickness, and  shall have  the
           §eneral configuration  shown  in Figure 1.
           pedal  materials of construction also
          available.
       b. Basin shall be of welded construction. All
          welds shall be ground smooth and all weld'
          splatter removed.
       c. All steel  surfaces shall be  cleaned (and/or
          sandblasted to near white metal) and coated
          (Inside and/or outside) with (rust resistant
          primer, coal tar epoxy, or other).
       d. All flanges shall be 150 Ibs.  Nozzle size
          schedule is as follows:
                      Number    Inch Diameter
            Influent
            Effluent
            Oil Outlet
            Drain
       e. Effluent weir  will be adjustable,  gasketed
          plate type.
        f. Standard oil weir will be adjustable bucket
          type with adjustment  bolts at tank sides.
          This design Is easier to level and adjust than
          plate type.  This Is Important tor the oil weir
          due  to Its location. Adjustment may be
          necessary when oil Is present. The bucket
          weir adjustments are at the tank sides Instead
          of all the way across the tank.
       g. The  separator shall  be provided with  a
          sectionalized removable cover.
       h. Optional: The separator basin shall include
       - -  an inlet,  presettling compartment in which
          heavy solids can drop out. (See Figure 2.)
          For application such as storm water runoff it
          Is necessary to provide extra sludge settling
          and holding capacity.  The  alternative Is to
          have a unit which clogs frequently or with an
          unacceptable frequency of sludge pump-
          out. Preceding the unit with a separate sludge
          sump Is also possible.

    6.2 Corrugated Plate Interceptor Pack (CPI)
       The separator shall  have  (number)  Corrugated
       Plate pack(s) with a total effective surface area at
       a 45 degree angle of inclination of	sq.
       ft. The CPI(s) shall be constructed of fiberglass
       reinforced  polyester  with  304  stainless  steel
       hardware. Four  CPI pack sizes  are  available.
       Special materials of construction also available.
       a. Each pack shall have plates at a 0.75 inch spacing
         between the plates. The depth of the corrugations
         shall be 2 inches and the crest to crest dimension
         shall be 7 inches.
         It Is not enough to specify corrugated plates
         since there are an Infinite number of possible
         configurations.  A   proven   configuration
         should be specified.
       b. CPI shell thickness shall be 0.25 inches. The pack
         shall have the following outside dimensions:
           Length:
           Width:
           Height
      c. Packs shall have inlet and outlet troughs to prevent
        the re-entrainment of separated oils and solids.
        This key design feature Is graphically illus-
        trated In Figure 3. Without the troughs the
        separated media must rise  or fall directly
        through the flow which  could result In carry
        over.

7.0 OPTIONS
    7.1 Coalescing Media
       Polypropylene coalescing  media shall  be in-
       stalled in the irriet or outlet compartment to
       facilitate oil removal.  This  oleophilic  material
       coalesces small oil droplets into particles of
       sufficient size to separate. (See Figure 4).
        Coalescing media Is only necessary when
        mechanically emulsified oil is present or when
        low effluent oil contents are required. Consult
        with Lancy when considering this design.
   7.2 Integral Oil Tank
       An integral oil tank of.
. gallon capacity
       shall be provided. Oil will flow from the bucket
       oil weJr to the oil tank by gravity. Tank construc-
       tion will be the same as that of the CPS.
        This feature eliminates the need to provide for
        continuous oil removal. Oil can be allowed to
        accumulate until removal is convenient or oil
        can be removed on a regular schedule.
   7.3 Effluent Clear Well
       An integral  clear  well  of 	  gallon
       capacity shall be provided. The effluent will flow
       by gravity over a weir into the well. Water will be
       pumped from  an  outlet at the bottom of this
       compartment.  The  clear well shall be  of the
       same construction as the basin.
        This feature Is used when the effluent must be
        pumped. For proper functioning, flow through
        the separator must be by gravity.
   7.4 Pumps
       a.  Influent — Screw pump, positive displace-
          ment, sliding shoe or other non-emulsifying
          pump.
       b.  Sludge — Positive displacement preferred.
       c.  Oil Transfer — Gear pumps acceptable.
       d.  Water Transfer — Centrifugal.
   7.5 Level Detectors and Controls
       a.  Oil — Positioned in bucket weir or Integral oil
          tank.
       b.  Separator Compartment —  Would sense
          flooding If outlet restricted.
       c.  Clear Well — Control of water transfer pump.
       d.  Oil  Monitor  — In effluent to  verify
          performance.
   7.6 Working Platform
       Separator can be supplied with a steel platform
       around the perimeter.  Platform would be com-
       plete with ladders, handrails and toe plates.
        The cover can be made such that It can serve
        as the platform. The handrails and toe plates
        would be around the perimeter.
   7.7 Observation  Hatches
       Above oil and effluent weirs.
   7.8 Heaters
        Submersion, electric heaters or steam colls can
        be specified  to prevent freezing as well as
        heating oil so it will flow. If unit Is to be above
        ground, field Installed Insulation will reduce
        power requirements.
    7.9 Basin Side-Wall Extensions
       To allow for direct burial and gravity flow.
   7.10 Automatic Sludge Withdrawal Module
       See Technical Bulletin 6201.

Oil/Water Separation Equipment
GRAVITY SEPARATOR — Lancy Corrugated Plate Separators provide effective
high rate gravity separation of free oil and water mixtures, along with superior
solids handling capability. These units have no moving parts and require much
less space than conventional API Separators which are also supplied by Lancy.
The patented lamella type design applies one or more inclined corrugated plate
Interceptor packs mounted in a modular basin. The basins are usually constructed
of steel but can be supplied  In FRP or concrete.  Standard designs for both above
and below ground installation and for pressurized applications are available. Over
2,500 Lancy oil/water separators are In continuous heavy-duty use In such diverse
industries as oil production and refining, chemical and petrochemical production,
fertilizer manufacture, steel production, metal forming and fabrication, food
processing and electric utilities. They are ideal for processing surface run-off
from commerical and industrial parking lots and for oily water generated by
transportation servicing and maintenance facilities.

                         EMULSION BREAKING — Emulsion breaking is the most difficult and critical aspect of
                         effective separation of oily water mixtures. Recent treatability studies and development
                         work by Lancy have led to a better understanding of the mechanism and control of
                         emulsion treatment methods which  use polyelectrolytes. These advances show that the
                         common techniques of heating and coagulation can be minimized or eliminated, thus
                         simplifying the emulsion breaking step without creating a secondary contaminated
                         stream which would require additional treatment. This Improved treatment chemistry and
                         the associated controls are readily incorporated into standard Lancy equipment and
                         systems, and will generate separate free oil and water phases which can be easily
                         processed by conventional gravity separators, flotation units or media filters to generate
                         high quality effluent.

DISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION — Lancy Dissolved Air Flotation Units combine
an Innovative, compact equipment design with a unique, low pressure air injection
device. This proprietary combination achieves a  2 to 5 times increase in rise rate
over competitive systems, and optimum control of bubble size and dispersion at
lower operating pressures (energy efficient) compared to the other pressure
let-down devices. The Lancy DAF unit thus improves the removal of oils, fats,
grease and suspended solids in less space. When used in conjunction with
Lancy's enhanced emulsion  breaking methods, it will produce a  high quality
effluent from difficult waste streams such as emulsified oils, dairy wastes and -
discharges from food processing, rendering or paint and varnish operations.

                                 RESIDUAL OIL FILTERS — Fluids containing low concentrations of finely
                                 suspended oils, particularly the overflow from gravity or chemical/mechanical
                                 separators, can be further  treated by gravity or pressure filtration to reduce oil
                                 content to levels as low as 2 ppm. To meet the need, Lancy provides a complete
                                 line of heavy duty, down-flow filters in treatment capacities  ranging from 10 to
                                 5,000 gpm complete with automatic polymer feed to enhance removal and
                                 improve backwash effectiveness. Other optional features include face piping,
                                 provision for air scour, pressure differential or time actuated backwash control
                                 and automatic valving to suit specific requirements.
ULTRAFILTERS —Ultrafiltration is a physical separation technique using pressure to
drive fluid through a special membrane. This technique is effective for removing and
concentrating colloidal dispersions or emulsified oils from water or other solvents. The
heart of the Lancy Ultrafilter is a unique, chemically stable inorganic membrane and
membrane support which permits operation over a wide range of pH and at elevated
process temperatures, making solution pre-cooling unnecessary. Because it is chemical-
ly stable and resists abrasion and compaction, this inorganic membrane can be easily
cleaned by strong acids, alkalis or solvents. Unit sizing is based on laboratory feasibility
trials to suit specific applications. Lancy Ultrafilters are particularly effective for continu-
ous removal of oils and greases from hot alkaline cleaners and  for recovery of ma-
chining lubricants and coolants.

                    Ultrafiltration: A Turnkey System
                   abstract
                       Ultrafiltration has become an alternative to the chemical treat-
                       ment of soluble oil and alkaline wash water wastes. To gain the
                       maximum benefits of Ultrafiltration a complete turnkey system is
                       needed. This paper will discuss the basic components required
                       for such a system and why they are needed.

     The prosp'ects for ultrafiltration become ever increasingly
inevitable with the advent of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) and the 1985 zero discharge goal.  There are
many different applications for ultrafiltration in todays
industry, but this discussion will be limited to soluble oils
and alkaline wash waters wastes.

     What is ultrafiltration?  Ultrafiltration is a semi-
permeable, pressure activated process which is capable of removing
emulsified oils and suspended solids from soluble oils and alka-
line wash waters.  Since the membrane is semi-permeable, emulsi-
fied oil and suspended solids are retained by the membrane
allowing only water and some dissolved low molecular weight
materials to pass through the membrane.  The emulsified oils and
suspended solids retained by the membrane are referred to as
concentrate and the water and dissolved solids which pass through
the membrane are referred to as permeate.

     The membrane itself is a thin film which acts like a filter
and has a pore size less than 0.005 microns.  The emulsified
oils and suspended solids are much larger than the pore openings
so the pores cannot become plugged.  The flow of the feed stream
is tangential (cross flow) to the surface of the membrane which
helps prevent solids from accumulating on the membrane.

     There are four basic ultrafiltration configurations, but
only two of them will be discussed in this paper.

TUBULAR MEMBRANE

     The membrane is cast onto the inside of the porous, fiber-
glass-reinforced epoxy support tube (see Fig. 1).  The support
tube is usually % to 1 inch in diameter and can vary in length.
The tube fits into a permeate collection shell and is sealed
at both ends of the support tube to completely isolate the
permeate from the oily process water.  This complete structure
is known as a module.

HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANE

     The membrane is'"a self-supporting tube with a high density
surface (membrane) formed on a continuous porous substrate (see
Fig. 2).  The hollow fiber usually has an inside diameter of
0.020 to 0.045 inches and can vary in Length.  The fibers are
placed in a bundle and are-bonded together on each end and insert-
ed inside a permeate collecting shell and sealed at both ends.
The fiber and shell structure is known as a module.  Due to the
unique structure of the hollow fiber, it is the only ultrafiltra-
tion membrane that can withstand having a back pressure applied
to the membrane.

     And is also capable of  forward and reverse  flow  through
 the hollow fibers  (see Fig.  5).

     Currently, the main means of disposal of soluble oils and
 alkaline wash water, wastes is to have  them hauled away by
 licensed disposers which becomes more  expensive  day by day or
 by chemical treatment with such things as acids,  alum, polymers
 and flocculants (see Fig. 3).  Ultrafiltration has many advantages
 over todays conventional chemical treatment methods:

     1)  No need for technical people  to do laboratory testing
         for every batch to  be treated.

     2)  No hazardous chemicals to contend with.

     3)  Is not manpower intensive.

     4)  Low operating costs - no heat required, low  energy
         consumption.

     5)  Easy to operate.

     6)  Concentrate large quantities  of wastewater into smaller
         quantities (usually 95-99 percent reduction).

     7)  Allows the possibility of reusing premeate for coolant
         make-up or washwater make-up  (Remember  zero  discharge).

     8)  Modular construction, which takes up smaller amounts of
         floor space and allows for easy expansion by just adding
         more modules.

     The purpose of this paper is to give a fundamental and
practical explanation of what is needed for a turnkey ultrafiltra-
tion system.  It does not matter what type of ultrafiltration
module you have, whether it  is the hollow fiber .type  or the
tubular modules, certain basic equipment is needed:

     1)  Tanks                       5)  Filters

     2)  Pumps                 -     6)  Oil/Water Separators

     3)  Piping                      7)  Instrumentation

     4)  Free oil removal equipment  8)  Automatic Controls

     Anyone can purchase this type of  equipment, but  great care
must be taken to assure that the correct fluid dynamics, flow
rates,  instrumentation and control requirements  are provided
to assure that the maximum benefits, of ultrafiltration can be
realized.   It is important to have qualified people design the
system, so the user will not have to become an expert in ultra-
filtration just to get it to run properly with his existing tank-
age and wastestrearn.

PRETREATMENT

     The first item needed for the system is an equalization
tank.  This acts as a collection point and also the pretreatment
tank.  The tank should provide the waste stream with enough
retention time to settle out solids, such as chips, grinding
swarf, dirt, sludges, shop rags and other miscellaneous items
which  find their way into machine sumps and wash tanks.  The
tank should also provide retention time to allow the free floating
oil  time to rise to the surface.

     This is the main collection tank so it is the ideal place
to start to control the bacteria levels.  One of the primary
reasons for the disposal of soluble oils is rancidity.  It is
in this tank that a biocide of some type should be used to
control bacteria, because if the bacteria is not controlled there
is a possiblity that it will grow on and/or in the pores of the
membrane thus blinding the membrane.

     The type of biocide chosen must first be compatible with the
membranes and second depend upon the type of post treatment that
has been chosen.  If a biological type post treatment has been
chosen, then careful consideration must be taken in the selection
of the biocide.  A fast acting, little or no residual effect
biocide should be used for this treatment so as not to kill the
bacteria in the bio-digestion plant.  If an activated carbon
filter or reverse osmosis is selected for post treatment, then
a biocide with some residual effect can be used.  As a matter of
fact,  some carry over of the biocide into the carbon filter or
reverse osmosis system can benefit the system by not allowing
bacteria to grow in either of these systems.

     A pH of the waste stream should also be monitored in this
tank.  With a washwater, the pH should pose no problem for the
membranes, since most membranes pH range is 2 to 13.  The pH of
most of the waste soluble oils are within this range, but as
bacteria grows the pH tends to move towards the acidic side.
Again, this poses no-threat to the membranes,  but the soluble
oils tend to separate better at a pH of 7 to 8.  So if the pH
is below this, it should be adjusted to the 7 to 8 range using
something like caustic soda, thus giving a better, cleaner
permeate.

     This  tank can also  be  equipped with liquid level  controls
 depending  upon the amount of automation desired, by-the-user.  A
 high level,  low level  control can be  used to"'control the  supply
 pump to prevent the tank from overflowing and  to prevent  the
 supply pump  from running dry.

 PROCESSING

     There are several different types  of processing operations
 in  ultrafiltration.  These  operations are batch, topped off batch,
 feed and bleed batch or  continuous.  The two types we will
 discuss will be batch  and topped-off batch.

     The batch operation is the simplest of all  operating modes.
 It  has the least amount  of  instrumentation, takes up the most
 amount of  floor space  and has  the most  flexibility.  This system
 is  usually manually operated so it  requires the  greatest number
 of  man hours.   It requires  the largest  amount of hold-up time
 and thus has the biggest tanks.  The large hold-up time allows
 for the maximum microbial growth so the wastestrearn must be
 closely monitored for  microbial content.

     The basic principle of operation for a batch system is very
 simple.  The process tank is  filled with the waste s-tream.  Once
 filled, the  ultrafiltration unit is turned on.   The unit will
 run until  the  batch is completely concentrated.  Ultrafiltration
 usually reduces  the volume  of the waste stream by 95 to 99
 percent.   The  flux rate  of  the permeate starts out fairly high,
 but as the concentration of the feed increases the flux rate
 starts to  steadily decrease.

     The topped-off batch operation offers more  automation and
 instrumentation,  thus  the amount: of man hours required to operate
 the system is  lower than that  of the batch operation.  Some of
 the other  advantages it  offers are minimum tankage and lower hold
 up volume which,  in turn, lowers the chance of microbial growth.
 It has smaller tankage so it will take  less floor space.

     The basic principle of operation for a topped-off batch
 system is  to feed the  waste stream at a rate the same as  or
 greater than the rate  of permeate being generated or to let the
 system process no more than 10 percent  of the volume of the
process tank and top the tank  off with  10  percent new feed.
By constantly  topping"off the process tank, it keeps the concen-
 tration of the  feed relatively*low, thus  keeping the flux rates
higher than  those of the batch operation.

     If the hollow fib'er membranes 'are b'eing used, then a mode
known as total recycle can be used,  (see Fig. 6).  Total
recycle can be carried out during processing without disrupting
flow to the tubes.  During this mode, the permeate valve is
closed which causes a back pressure in the outer shell.  Since
there is still flow through the hollow fiber membrane, permeate
is being generated in the lower half of the shell and being
forced (due to pressure in outer shell) back into the upper
half of the shell forcing particles back into the feed stream
where they are carried away back to the process tank.  The
closing of the valve also helps create a high shear condition
which helps to carry particles off the membrane walls.  Total
recycle is characteristic of hollow fiber membranes only due
to the fact that in a hollow fiber membrane the membrane is on
the inside of the fiber and the outside of the fiber is the
support structure,  (see Fig. 2).
                                                           •
     With either a batch system or topped-off batch system an
inlet tank is needed.  It is at this point that the waste
stream should be filtered as it enters the tank to remove
abrasive suspended solids which could harm the membrane.   The
free oil carried over from the collection tank should be removed.
This can be accomplished by a belt or rope skimmer or by a
porous media separator.  The mechanically dispersed oils  should
also be removed so they will not collect on the membrane during
processing.  This can be accomplished by coalescers,  centrifuges
or porous media separators.   By removing the free and mechanically
dispersed oils", the flux rate can be improved by 5 to 10  percent.

     After pretreatment in the inlet tank, the wastewater is
transferred to the process tank.  This can be done either by
gravity or with a supply pump.  From here the wastewater is
ready to be processed.

     The equalization, inlet and process tanks should all be
fitted with liquid level controls to prevent overflowing  of
the tanks and to protect the supply pumps and the ultrafiltration
process circulation pump from running dry.

     Both systems will also need certain instrumentation  and
controls (see Fig. 4):

     1)  In-line screening device-protects membranes  from solids
         which can fall into the tanks.
       •
     2)  Control valves-regulates pressure across the membranes.

     3)  Pressure gauges-monitors pressure of system.

     4)  Pressure switch-protects membranes against over
         pressurization.

     If hollow fiber membranes are being used, then additional
valves must be added to the  system (see Fig. 4).  One valve
would go on the permeate line to allow the permeate line to be
closed for the total recycle process.  Two valves would be needed
to direct the feed stream in  through the bottom of the membranes
(forward flow) or in through the top of the membrane (reverse
flow) (see Fig. 5).  The permeate valve and the two directional
valves can be operated manually or automatically depending upon
the degree of automation desired by the user.  For a(totally
automatic system, these valves could be put on timers or
controlled by a microprocessor to change flow and go into total
recycle at set time periods  to keep the flux rates running at
a higher rate for a greater  length of time.

POST TREATMENT

     It must be remembered that ultrafiltration is not an absolute
process.  Its membrane is semi-permeable so water and some
dissolved organic and inorganic materials will actively pass
through the membrane.  It will depend on the regulations of the
local sewer districts as to whether or not the permeate will be
acceptable, for sewer discharge.  The basic parameters of the
sewer district are usually based in 5 areas (see Fig. 8):

1)  Total Suspended Solids              4)  Chemical Oxygen Demand

2)  Oil and Grease (Freon Extractable)  5)  Biochemical Oxygen
                                            Demand
3)  Hydrocarbon Oil
                                        6)  Heavy Metals

     The permeate from soluble oil wastes usually contains such
inorganics as sodium, calcium, magnesium and chloride which
could be detrimental to coolants if reused.  For this reason,
it is usually not recommended for coolant make-up water,  but
rather should be disposed of.

     If further treatment is necessary, there are several
effective post treatment methods available:

     1)  Biological Treatment           3)  Ionic Resins

     2)  Activated Carbon               4)  Reverse Osmosis
                              MR84-923

-------
                                -7-


     The permeate of alkaline washwaters usually contains
detergents, surfactants and low molecular weight wetting agents
that are part of the washwaters. themselves.  Because of these
materials passing through"the membrane, the permeate is usually
reused for washwater make-up.- If the user chooses not to reuse
the water, it may be discharged to the sewer, but it may also
need some type of post treatment such as those listed above.

     The concentrate from ultrafiltration must also be dealt
with, but remember that the concentrate volume is only 1-5 percent
of the original wastewater volume.  The concentrate also ranges
from 40-60percent oil.  For example, if the original volume of
wastewater was 1000 gallons then the volume of concentrate is
10-50 gallons and of that it is 6-30 gallons of oil.  The
concentrate can be handled by several methods.

     1)  Contract hauler

     2)  Emulsion breaking

     3)  Incinerating in the plants boiler.

CLEANING

     There are several methods used for the cleaning of the
ultrafiltration systems:

     1)  Dispersing                3)  Mechanical (tubular only).
                                                           •
     2)  Solubilizing              4)  Total recycle and/or
                                       backflushing (hollow fibers
                                       only)

     When using any of these methods, the system should first
be completely flushed with clean water.  The mixture of oily
waste and water flushed from the piping can be  returned to the
process tank and processed with the next batch  of wastewater.  The
water used for the flushing and cleaning of the membranes  should
not be hard water (60 ppm or 3.5 grains/gallon  total hardness).
If the available water is hard, then deionized  water should be
considered for the cleaning of the membranes.

     1.  Dispersing Cleaning

         The dispersing cleaning method functions by breaking up
         the deposits in the membrane and dispersing them into
         colloidal sized particles, so they can be carried away
         by feed stream.  The most commonly used dispersants
         are detergents, and detergent cleaning is the most widely
         used cleaning method for oil/water ultrafiltration.
         It is also more effective at elevated  temperatures.

                               -8-
     2)  Solubilizing Cleaning
    . . '"- The solubilizing method functions by using weak,.; :::. r
   '••    solutions of acids to chemically dissolve the deposits
       •  that foul the membrane.  Elevated temperatures are
         also used for this method for quicker, more effective
         cleaning.

     3)   Mechanical (tubular only)

         The mechanical cleaning method functions by using a
         brush or sponge balls to physically scrub the deposits
         off the membranes.  This method works most effectively
         when used in conjunction with the dispersant cleaning
         method.

     4)   Total Recycle and Backflush (hollow fiber only)

         The Total Recycle cleaning method was explained
         earlier.  Refer to the top of page 5.

         The backflushing cleaning method functions by pumping
         under pressure a permeate quality cleaning solution
         (permeate which has been stored in a separate tank)
         in the permeate shell (see Fig. 7).  Since there is
         no feed stream passing through the fiber, the pressure
         on the inside of the fiber is zero PSI and the permeate,
         which is under pressure, will enter the membrane from
         the outside.  This action will push the deposits off the
         membrane and into the hollow fiber and flush them to
         either the process tank or the drain.  Total recycle
         runs during the detergent cleaning may clean the
         membranes well enough to eliminate the need for back-
         flush cleaning.

     The equipment needed for the dispersing and solubilizing
cleaning methods are:

     1)   Cleaning solution holding tank.

     2)   Heaters to elevate temperature.

     3)   Connecting piping to connect the. tank with the ultra-
         filtration circulation processing pump.

     The equipment needed for backflushing:

     1)  Holding tank-collection tank to hold permeate.

     2)  Backflush pump-supply permeate and pressure.

     3)  Float control-protect pump from running dry.

     4)  Connecting piping-connect backflush pump to permeate
         shell outlet.

     The RCRA and zero discharge goals have created the need for
a waste treatment system that is capable of treating soluble
oil and alkaline wash water wastes, and produces an effluent
capable of being reused for make-up water or sewer discharge.
This need can be filled by ultrafiitration.   Ultrafiltration can
produce an effluent whose water quality remains consistent regard-
less of changes in the waste stream characteristics.   The
effluent, in most cases, is suitable for sewer discharge,  while
concentrating the waste stream volume to 1-5 percent of its
original volume.  The concentrate is 40-60 percent oil.

     To maximize the full potential of ultrafiltration, a turnkey
system (complete system) approach should be considered.  This
provides the user with an ultrafiltration system that does not
require the user to become an expert on ultrafiltration or a
systems engineer to designer specify the tankage,  piping,  controls
and instrumentation needed for a complete ultrafiltration system.

     The turnkey ultrafiltration system provides many features
and benefits:

     1)  Skid-Mounted; all tanks,  pumps, pre-filters, piping and
         instrumentation are skid-mounted for easy installation.

     2)  Complete Assembly;  the system (tanks, pumps and pre-
         filters) are pre-piped and all instrumentation is pre-
         wired ready for operation.

3).  Controls;    All controls and instrumentation for the
    system is wired to one panel for easy monitoring of
    the system.
            • . -V
4)  Installation;  to install, just set the skid in place
    and hook-up the waste water supply pipe, electrical
    power to the panel and water for the cleaning of the
    ultrafiltration membranes.

5)  Expansion;  the system is a modular design which allows
    for easy expansion by installing additional ultrafiltra-
    tion modules to existing system or by adding additional
    skid-mounted systems.

                     HYDE WASTEWARRIOR CASE HISTORY

  A Pennsylvania Die Caster has found a way to reduce expensive waste
  disposal costs. The plant was having more than 6000 gallons of used die
  spray and other oily waste fluids hauled away every two or three months.
  Hauling and incineration costs, which had risen to more than $ 0.80/gallon,
  convinced managers that a better alternative was needed.

  Hyde Products, Inc. worked with the company to provide a means of
  reducing the total volume of waste fluid hauled while complying with
  local discharge regulations. The Hyde WASTEWARRIOR Turn-Key
  Ultrafiltration system  allows the company to separate water from their
  waste stream and reduce the total volume to be hauled by 95%. The water
  is then discharged to sewer through a Hyde Carbon Clarifier.

  The Hyde WASTEWARRIOR system automatically feeds its inlet
  compartment, drawing fluid through a Hyde floating skimmer in the waste
  fluid holding tank. Free floating oils and solids that accumulate  in the
  waste fluid are removed by the inlet bag filter and unique Hyde coalescing
  gravity separator. The system's Ultrafiltration module filters out clean
  water from the process fluid, returning the more concentrated oily
  solution to the process tank. The water effluent is further clarified with
  activated carbon before going to sewer.

  In the die casting process, the die spray, at a water dilution ratio of
  around 80:1, is sprayed onto the dies. Waxes in the fluid adhere to the dies
  to facilitate the release of the aluminum and zinc parts while excess fluid
  is carried off on the parts and drips from the machinery into collection
  troughs or directly onto the floor. Other plant oils and hydraulic fluids
  also end up in the waste which is vacuumed up or pumped to a waste fluid
  holding tank near the processing area.

  The Hyde WASTEWARRIOR has run nearly continuously to process the day to
  day wastes of the plant as well as some waste which had built up before
  start up of the Hyde Equipment.  Engineers responsible for operating the
  system say that it paid for itself in the first six months.

Wastewanior - The Proven
Ultrafiltration System
  The Wastewarrior is a versatile fluid
management system, proven in a variety
of "in plant" applications. It is designed
to separate emulsified oils from water as
the fluid passes through a unique mem-
brane module.
  Wastewarrior systems are available in
a range of capacities to meet most in-
dustrial requirements. They are equally
effective for coolants, washing solutions
and other mixtures where free and
emulsified oils and suspended solids
must be removed before discharge.

Simple, Efficient System
Operation
  The  Hyde Wastewarrior includes a
two compartment tank - the inlet side
for  the removal of solids and free oil,
and the process side for holding the
clarified liquid. A unique floating skim-
mer in  the inlet side assures surface
"pick up" of free floating tramp-oils and
any undesireable rag or cream layer. An
integral oil separator, which uses Hyde's
unique gravity/coalescence principle,
removes free floating and dispersed oils
from the influent mixture. The separated
oil is automatically discharged into a
suitable container The clarified waste-
water f tows from the separator by gravi-
ty into the process side.
  The process supply pump discharges
the  clarified liquid into the membrane
module, where clean water is separated
from the emulsion. The water
(permeate) is normally discharged by
gravity through a post-treatment module
to remove soluble organic materials and
color before discharging to sewer.
  The concentrated oily mixture is recir-
culated to the process side. A distinct ad-
vantage of the Wastewarrior system is
that the surface layer of the process side
liquid continually overflows to the inlet
side for further clarification. This feature
prevents the build-up of free oils.
Microprocessor Control
Automates Operation and
Minimizes Maintenance
  The Wastewarrior includes a
microprocessor controller that operates
the system automatically and minimizes
maintenance. The process and cleaning
cycle times can be pre-programmed to
your requirements.
  The system also includes automatic
protection features, and alarm to in-
dicate low level in the inlet and process
compartments, high temperature and
high pressure.
Turnkey System
  The Wastewarrior is supplied as a
compact skid mounted, turnkey system
and requires only electrical power, water
and drain connections and a container
for waste oil.
  All systems are constructed of high
grade materials, fully suitable for the
ultrafiltration process and for hostile
industrial environments. And all
Wastewarrior systems are modular to
allow for easy expansion by installing
additional modules on the basic system.

 INTRODUCTION
 PACE8 (Positive Accelerated Coalescence of Emul-
 sions) is the most advanced and economical
 method of treating wastewater containing
 emulsified oil. PACE converts gray emulsions Into
' black oil and clear water.
 PACE9 Separators provide exceptional perfor-
 mance at minimum cost. The patented process
 features state of the art effluent quality, lowest
 first cost and lowest cost of operation. The
 payback Is terrific.
 A complete PACE Separator incorporates a first
 stage coalescer plus a second stage Membrane
 separator. A PACE SK Module Is essentially the se-
 cond stage of a complete PACE Separator.
 In many situations, technical and cost factors point
to PACE as the ideal treatment process. Yet, a
complete skid-mounted system is not required.
The answer Is to use a PACE SK Module with an
existing tank or separator. This provides many of
PACE'S exclusive benefits and at even lower cost.
APPLICATIONS
• Effluent Polishing. With tightening of discharge
standards, many existing separators are unable to
meet the new requirements. There is no need to
replace this existing equipment. Add a PACE SK
Module to polish the effluent.
The water will be suitable for discharge despite the
tightest regulations. The oil stripped from the emul-
sions will be sent back to the existing separator for
collection and disposal.
The savings to the customer are considerable. The
existing equipment is retained and used efficiently,
and the SK Module can be added at minimum cost.

-------
* Wank Dewatering. A PACE Interface Detector can
 be installed in an existing collection tank, and a
 PACE SK Module will automatically dewater the
 tank.
 The water can be legally discharged, and the oil
 stripped from the emulsions will be returned to the
 tank.
 EXCLUSIVE BENEFITS OF THE PACE
 SK SEPARATOR MODULES
 PACE SK Modules offer significant performance
 benefits over batch processes, and at no additional
 cost to the user. These benefits are truly exclusive,
 as the process itself is patented.
   Batch systems direct the entire high volume
   feed and concentrate flows through the collec-
   tion tank. Since this can be ten times the
   throughput, the natural separating ability of this
   tank is either destroyed or is compromised.
   PACE maintains high cross-flow velocity through'
   the Membrane elements, but returns oil to the
   first stage in a relatively small  volume of liquid.
   This permits the first stage to remain an effi-
   cient gravity separator.
   Your existing tank or separator will .efficiently
   separate the oil which the PACE SK  Module
   strips from the emulsion.
   With PACE, and only with PAGE, the oil concen-
   tration applied to the membranes Is very low and
   is continuously regulated. This means lower
   fouling rates and longer periods between in-
   place washes of the Membrane.
:There are no hidden extras. The Module is com-
 plete and ready to run as  provided. The PACE
 Reservoir contains just the right volume of water
 required to wash the Membrane Element.
 • Simple. The only moving part is a centrifugal
 pump.
 • Versatile. Use the Module as a manual  system.
 This is Ideal for very low flows, and there  is no
 more economical way to break emulsions. Payback
 Is terrific.
 Add automatic control at  a later date If desired, or
 Install it in the first place to eliminate the need for
 operator attention.
 You can also add a PACE Oil Content Meter to
 monitor the effluent. If oil content exceeds a preset
 limit, this unit will energize a remote alarm or valve
 actuator.
 • Economical and Compact. The exclusive PACE
 process uses low cost and chemically resistant
 spiral Membrane elements. Look at the dimen-
 sions! These compact SK Modules take up very lit-
 tle of your valuable space.
 Buy only what you need. Even the skid  is  priced
 separately. If you prefer, you can  mount the module
 on a bracket or a tank bulkhead.
 • Quality. Low cost Is achieved through knowhow
 and patented technology. There is no compromise
 In quality.
GENERAL SPECIFICATION
SK-SERIES SEPARATOR MODULES
Process. PACE - Positive Accelerated Coalescence
of Emulsions, a patented process available only
through Smith & Loveless and its subsidiaries.
Operation. Emulsions are pumped across the sur-
face of the Membrane at high velocity and
moderate pressure. The Membrane passes water,
salts and detergents, but rejects oil.
The concentrated emulsion then passes through
the Reservoir, where excess oil is stripped and
discharged to a primary separator or collection
tank. The remainder is circulated back to the Pump
suction.
The system is self regulating. There are no adjust-
ments.
Wastewaters Treated. Any combination of mech-
anical emulsions and chemical emulsions following
a gross oil separation. Any  combination of petro-
leum oils up to a specific gravity of 0.94 (19
degrees API).
Certifications. U.S. Coast Guard, Canadian Depart-
ment of Transport, U.K. Department of Transport,
Norwegian Maritime Directorate, Danish Govern-
ment Ships Inspection Service, National Swedish
Administration of Shipping  and  Navigation, and

   SYSTEM  DIAGRAM
   1. INLET STRAINER • In many cases, your existing
   separator will efficiently remove solids from the
   oily emulsion. If not, we recommend an optional
   bag filter or scraper-strainer.
   2. PUMP • Close coupled to a TEFC electric motor.
   The pump provides pressure to discharge clean
   water through the Membrane and high cross-flow
   velocity to minimize Membrane fouling. Up to 15
   feet of suction lift is available If needed.
   3. MEMBRANE ELEMENT - Breaks the emulsion.
   Passes detergents, salts and water. Will not pass
   oil! Several standard Membrane configurations are
   available to meet your special needs. Enclosed In a
   welded steel pressure vessel.
   4. VISUAL FLOWMETER - A unique feature of
   PACE. The Flowmeter measures Membrane
throughput during run and also during wash. Sim-
ple, reliable and easy to read. You can visually
check the performance of the Module. You can also
check the progress of your wash!
5. THREE WAY VALVE - Diverts effluent to drain dur-
ing run, back to the pump suction during wash.
Continuous forward flow of water protects the
Membrane at all times.
6. RESERVOIR • Strips oil from the emulsion. Pro-
vides the correct volume of water required for in-
place washing of the Membrane.

 needed for operation and in-place washing of the
 Membrane. The equipment is preassembled into
 four subassemblies for ease of installation:
    • Pump Assembly. Iron body, bronze impeller
    pump, with stainless steel trim, mechanical seal,
    close coupled to 3500 RPM electric motor.
    • Pump Discharge Assembly. Y-strainer,
    associated valves, pressure and temperature
    gages.
    B Membrane Assembly. Membrane element in-
    stalled in pressure vessel, Reservoir, associated
    valves, flow regulating orifice and fill funnel.
    B Clean Water Discharge Assembly. Visual flow-
    meter and associated valves.
 The Inlet Strainer and Pump Motor Starter are
 shipped as separate items.

-------
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
   • Inlet scraper-strainer. Where solids loading is
   substantial, the standard inlet basket strainer
   would require excessive maintenance.
   • Bag filter. Also suitable for higher solids load-
   Ing. The finer filtration available with a bag filter
   can reduce the fouling rate of the Membrane and
   further extend the period between detergent
   washes of the Membrane.
   • Automatic control. The PACE Interface Detec-
   tor and a magnetic Pump Motor Starter permit
   automatic dewatering of an existing tank.
   • Oil Content Monitor. The PACE Oil Content
   Meter will sense the oil content of the effluent.
   Oil content is displayed directly In PPM. An inte-
   gral relay will energize if the  preset oil content is
   exceeded. Fully tested and approved under IMO
   Resolution A. 393(X) and 46 CFR Part 162.
   • Skid-mounting. The Module will be assembled,
   wired and tested on a structural steel skid at the
   factory before shipment. The skid will be fully
   welded, grit blasted and coated with epoxy resin
   as  specified above.

PACE* (Positive Accelerated
Coalescence of Emulsions):
a patented advancement in oily water
separation technology. Unlike any other
oil/water separator available, PACE breaks true emulsions.
PACE converts grey emulsions into clear water and black oil. The water is
suitable for legal discharge, and the oil is concentrated to the point where it will
support combustion.
Fail-safe, PACE cannot discharge oil. PACE operates automatically; without
operator intervention, adjustments, chemical additives or disposable filter
elements.
PACE allows you to continue using high-efficiency emulsifying bilge cleaners
without the liability of violating worldwide oil-pollution laws. You can keep
machinery, bilges, work platforms and ladders clean, and reduce the risk of
bilge fires and injuries.
PACE was developed by the.same organization responsible for thousands of
FAST* Marine Sewage Treatment Systems. PACE meets the same exacting
standards of reliability and performance in shipboard service. This patented
system is the best oil/water separator in the world.

-------
Operation. Suction generated by the Pump
draws fresh wastewater into the Primary
Separator where free oil is separated and
accumulated. Emulsions are unaffected by
gravity separation and pass on to the second
stage of treatment
These emulsions are pumped across the surface
of the Membrane at high velocity and moderate
pressure. The Membrane passes water, salts and
detergents, but rejects oil. The concentrated
emulsion then passes through the Reservoir,
where excess oil is stripped and returned to the
Primary Separator. The remainder is recirculated
back to the Pump suction.
The Primary Separator is full of liquid at all times.
As oil accumulates, the oil/water interface moves
lower. When this interface reaches the Interface
Sensor it triggers the oil-ejection cycle: the Pump
is turned off, the Overboard Discharge Solenoid
Valve closes and the Water Inlet Solenoid Valve
opens. Water under regulated line pressure
ejects the accumulated oil through the Oil
Discharge Check Valve fitted on the Primary
Separator.
Once a preset quantity of oil has been ejected,
the system resets for normal operation: the Pump
starts, the Water Inlet Solenoid Valve closes and
the Clean Water Discharge Solenoid Valve
opens.
The system operates automatically and is self-
regulating. There are no adjustments.
Electrical Equipment. Electrical equipment is in
full accordance with the requirements of major
classification societies.
• Standard voltages are 208,230/460/575 VAC,
  3 phase, 60 Hz.
• Standard motors are TEFC (IP55), marine duty,
  50 deg. C. ambient, with Class F insulation.
• Standard Controls feature across the line
  starting, overload protection for all three
  phases, line disconnect, 110 Volt control
  transformer and transformer type indicating
  lamps, all housed in an oil tight, dust tight,
   NEMA 4X (IP65) enclosure. A terminal strip
   and removable stainless steel cable entrance
   plate are provided for installation connections.
• Standard cabling is stranded copper,
   thermoplastic insulated, protected by basket
   weave armor and secured to the structure per
   ABS requirements. All junction boxes and
   cable entrance plates are watertight.
• Electrical Service Required—Please refer to
   Data Table for the motor horsepower rating for
   each model.
Construction. All welded steel construction,
ASTM A-36 steel with 1 /4 inch minimum
thickness. Tank penetrations are fully welded
both sides.
Piping. All steel piping is ASTM A-53 Gr. B
minimum, with flanges or unions provided for
takedown. All installation connections are 150 Ib.
rated raised face flanges per ASTM A-105.
Corrosion  Protection. Assembly hardware and
threaded tank nozzles are stainless steel. Primary
Separator interior and all exterior surfaces are grit
blasted to "white metal" per SSPC 5 and coated
to 10 mils DFT with polyamide epoxy resin.
Quality Control. Membrane elements and tanks
are separately tested for leaks. Coatings are
tested for holidays and pinholes. Each unit is
subjected to a full power-on test prior to shipment
to verify the integrity of pipe connections and
seals, proper operation of all machinery and
controls, and Membrane oil rejection.
Modes of Operation. Each standard PACE unit
is fully configured to operate automatically in any
of three modes:
• Manual: The operator manually starts and
   stops the system to pump down the bilges, or
   preferably a bilge collection tank. The system
   automatically produces clean water and ejects
   oil removed from the water to a separate slop
   oil tank.

-------
• Liquid Level Control: A liquid level sensor in
  the bilge collection tank automatically starts
  and stops the system to control the liquid level
  in the tank. The system automatically
  produces clean water and ejects oil removed
  from the water to a separate slop oil tank.
• Interface Control: An oil/water interface
  sensor in the bilge collection tank
  automatically starts and stops the system to
  dewater the tank. The system automatically
  produces clean water and ejects oil removed
  from the water to the same oil collection tank.
If oil with little or no water is collected, or if the
contents of the collection tank have already been
dewatered by the PACE system, the system will
not start

Maintenance.
• As required—Clean Inlet and Y-Strainers.
•  Monthly (or as experience dictates)—Add
   detergent and allow system to wash excess oil
  off the Membrane. Eject the accumulated
   paraffin, soap scum, etc. from the Primary
   Separator.
•  Semiannually—Lubricate pump motor
   bearings.
•  No other special maintenance" is required.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
•  Bilge collection tank sensing probes for either
   liquid level or interface control.
•  Machinery rated to operate at non standard
  voltages.
•  Explosion-proof electrical equipment
•  Duplex basket and self-cleaning scraper-type

 SERVICE FACTORS

 PACE is a variable flow device. The throughput to
 be expected in service will depend upon two
 major factors:
   1. the total dynamic head the system must
     overcome (TDH SERVICE FACTOR), and
   2. the temperature of the wastewater
     (TEMPERATURE SERVICE FACTOR), and
 In order to select a unit for a specific application,
 you must first determine a value for each of these
 service factors using the tables provided below.
 TDH SERVICE FACTOR. As the total dynamic
 head (TDH) which the unit must overcome
 increases, the differential pressure available to
 force water through the Membrane decreases,
 and flow decreases accordingly. The total
 dynamic head (TDH) includes suction lift,
 discharge head and friction losses. To be
 conservative, the TDH should be calculated
 using the USCG/IMO rated capacity as the
 design flow.

that a decrease in the water's viscosity reduces
the Membrane's resistance to flow.

Multiply the required flow in GPD times the TDH
SERVICE FACTOR times the WATER
TEMPERATURE SERVICE FACTOR to get the
corresponding nominal rating. Select the next
largest unit
EXAMPLE: Vessel in arctic service; required flow
350 GPD, 10 FT TDH, water temperature
approximately 68 degrees F. Size a standard unit
based upon the GPD calculated as follows:
         350X1.09X1.48 565 GPD
Select a PACE S-1 with nominal rated capacity of
800 GPD.
EXAMPLE: Same case, but vessel has deep
molded draft requiring a total lift of 50 FT TDH:
         350X1.76X1.48 912 GPD
which would exceed the capacity of a PACE S-1
and require a PACE S-2. In this case, it may be
more practical to select the smaller separator, and
reduce the effective head by installing a small
booster pump for overboard discharge of the
clean water.

UNIQUE  CONCEPT SAVES  MONEY
World Water Systems has combined
state of the art technology with decades
of practical experience in the design and
manufacture of marine equipment. The
result is the most effective, efficient oily
water separator available.
  We have employed a unique concept
called gravity assist separation that com-
pletely eliminates expensive filters and
coalescers. This exclusive design incor-
porates mechanical, rotating, coalescing
fibers and a stationary polishing pack
that scrubs the oil out of the water.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION: Oily bilge
water is drawn into the separator by the
automatic self-priming pump. This pump
is located on the outlet of the separator to
prevent the formation of a mechanical
emulsion. When the oily bilge water enters
the separator, it is directed toward the top
of the vessel. Some oil separates immedi-
ately due to the difference in specific
gravity and the reduced velocity.
  As the oily water is directed downward
in the helical flow path toward the pump
suction, the oil impinges on the slowly
rotating oleophylic separating fibers. The
oil is forced to gravitate to the top of the
separator. Any oil that escapes the
separation fibers is removed by the per-
manent polishing pack.
  After the separated oil accumulates to a
predetermined level, the oil sensor initiates
the oil discharge and cleaning cycle by
stopping the pump, closing the water
discharge valve and opening the sea
water inlet valve. This allows clean sea
water to flow in the reverse direction, up
through the polishing pack and the
separating fibers to clean them and
displace the accumulated oil.

      NOW. ..A SIMPLE,
       INEXPENSIVE AND
        EASY-TO-USE OIL
   CONTENT BILGE ALARM
  The Oil Content Bilge Alarm measures and displays
the amount of dispersed oil over a range of 0 to 100
p.p.m. in the flowing stream of cleaned water. The in-
strument consists of a Sensing Module and an Indicat-
ing/Control Module. Oil content of the cleaned bilge
water is continuously shown on a digital display on the
Indicating/Control Module. An adjustable alarm set-
point function, on which the allowable oil content level
is set, is located inside the Indicating/Control Module.
When the Sensing Module determines that the oil con-
tent exceeds the set-point value, a relay activates the
lights on the display panel of the Indicating/Control
Module. Green for "Overboard" changes to red for "Re-
circulate." Simultaneously, two sets of relay contacts
activate independent alarm and control circuits. When
the oil content in the effluent water is once more below
the set-point value, the above conditions are automa-
tically restored to normal.
  Piping for the Sensing Module may be arranged in
the outlet line of an Oil/Water Separator. Cleaned bilge
water flows through the module, past optical pressure

windows where the measurement is made. A prefo-
cussed incandescent light source provides a light
beam which passes through the bilge water. A detec-
tor, placed at an angle to the incident light beam,
measures light scattered by the dispersed oil in the
bilge water. An electrical output from the detector is
transmitted through a cable to the Indicating/Control
Module where it is processed and the measurement
displayed on the panel in p.p.m.
  The 21/z-digit display on the panel can indicate read-
ings up to 199; however, readings beyond 100 may not
be within specified accuracy. The "On/Off" switch for
input power to the Oil Content Bilge Alarm is also lo-
cated on the panel.
  This easy-to-install, easy-to-clean Oil Content Bilge
Alarm  is already highly proven in worldwide marine
use. Fully tested, and approved by the  U.S. Coast
Guard, the instrument provides control signals to re-
circulating valves when a preset oil content in bilge
water Is met.

For Your Service Area
The Industry Leader
  Since 1976, Lenan has been affiliated with the
pioneers in research and development of Waste
Oil Heating and Waste Disposal technology. More
Lanair Heaters are in use in the United States than
any other brand.
  Lanair Free Air Atomizing Space Heaters were
introduced in 1982. They were the first ceiling
hung, fully automatic, thermostatically controlled
Waste Oil Heaters available to the automotive and
industrial market place.
A Valuable Heating Fuel
  Waste oil is more valuable as a heating fuel than
in any other recyclable form. This virtually free
fuel has an average rating of 150,000 Btuh's per
gallon. This allows a Lanair Heater to pay for itself
in a surprisingly short period of time.
Profit Center
  Studies show that employees who are
comfortable work more efficiently. Your service
department is a profit center. Using wast" oil as
an energy source provides you with the
opportunity to save thousands of dollars in heat
bills, waste disposal costs and improved employee
efficiency.
Lanair Versatility
  Lanair Heaters burn used automotive oils as
primary fuels, providing supplemental heat for
work areas and reducing waste disposal costs.

                                                  Foreword
Northern Instruments Corporation is a
manufacturer of unique, proprietary sensing
instruments which have evolved from the
Corporation's efforts to develop useful
products from the chemistry of organic
materials. The sensor in the LUBRI-SENSOR
owes its accuracy and sensitivity to this
developmental work.

Oil is subjected to high temperature and
extreme pressures during engine operation.
An atmosphere conducive to oxidation is
usually present in the crankcase. A variety
of contaminants enter the oil system. While
some contaminants are inert, others are
chemically active or cause  undesirable
chemical reactions. The physical and electro-
chemical properties of the oil  change during*
use and it is this change that is important  1
and affects the lubricating capability of the of
For this reason an analysis  of the new
(unused) and used oil should be conducted
frequently to determine their relative
conditions. This is ascertained by evaluating
the changes in physical and electro-chemic^,
properties. The interpretation of these
changes, as they affect engine performance^
is of fundamental significance. One important
and primary electro-chemical property of oil
is its DIELECTRIC CONSTANT.

LUBRI-SENSOR detects, measures and
indicates the TOTAL EFFECT of contaminati-
on the DIELECTRIC CONSTANT of oil.
Contamination is usually caused by oil oxida^
tion, water, acids, antifreeze, metal particles
or fuel. Thus, LUBRI-SENSOR makes it
possible to determine when oil is still usable
permitting longer intervals between changes.
Even more importantly, overhauls can be
postponed by detection of impending lubri-
cation or mechanical failure.

Further, the sensor and operating range of the
LUBRI-SENSOR has been designed to dealr
specifically with fhe current move to longer

General Information
   1. There are hundreds of oils on the market
     processed for specific lubrication purposes.
     The dielectric constant of these oils can vary
     between brands and types. This need not have
     anything to do with the quality of a particular
     oil processed for a specific purpose—it simply
     means that different types of oil additives,
     or their lack, will result in dielectric constant
     variations in oil.

     For this reason  leading users of oil recommend
     that the interpretation of an analysis is,  in part,
     a comparison between the properties of the
     unused oil and the properties of the used oil.
     To accommodate this, LUBRI-SENSOR  has
     been designed to be calibrated quickly and
     easily to a zero reference with the same brand
     and type of oil in an unused state as the used
     oil to  be tested.

   2. As the sensor is sensitive to moisture, do not
     operate LUBRI-SENSOR in rain, snow or fog.

   3. If LUBRI-SENSOR is subjected to significant
     temperature changes (for example, from 45°F.
     to 75°F.) then recalibrate the instrument as
     close as possible  to the extremes of the range.

   4. Always clean the  sensor cavity thoroughly.
     Ideally the cleaned sensor will be dry to the
     touch. However, synthetic oils often leave
     a tenacious film behind. We recommend using
     SENSOR KLEEN for best  results.

   5. The electronic circuit in LUBRI-SENSOR will
     cease operation when the battery voltage falls
     to 5.0 volts. While voltage fall-off will not affect
     the instrument's relative accuracy (readings
     will still be directly proportional to the change in
     the oil's dielectric constant), the pointer on
     the Deviation Meter will deflect less and less as
     this happens. We  suggest battery replacement
     after  approximately 1,000 tests.

   6. LUBRI-SENSOR is as ruggedly constructed as it
     can be and remain the sensitive instrument it is;
     however, please treat it with reasonable care.
Principles of Operation
   This section has been included for those
   interested in the design theory of LUBRI-SENSOF
   It is not necessary to completely understand
   this section to operate the instrument.

THE Oil SENSOR	

   If you look at the bottom of the sensor cavity
   under magnification you will see two metal leads
   spiraling in from the outer edge to the center
   of the sensor. Each lead acts as a capacitor p!at<
   with the oil sample acting as the capacitor
   dielectric. This planar design maximizes skin
   capacitance measurements as opposed to only
   bulk capacitance, thereby providing for greater
   sensitivity to contaminants.

THE CIRCUIT	

   LUBRl-SENSOR's circuit is a specially adapted
   capacitance bridge operating at a frequency of
   5 Megahertz. It contains two parallel resonating
   legs;  the sensor leg and the measuring leg.
   When the meter is at zero, the legs are neutral-
   izing  one another. A meter deviation means
   that a capacitance value has changed and one
   leg is overpowering the other.

DIELECTRIC  CONSTANT OF OIL	

   The dielectric constant of a substance is its abilit
   to transfer electrical energy as compared with
   a vacuum.  In oil systems this value is dependent
   upon the base oil plus additives or contami-
   nants present.

   As oil breaks down, peroxides, acids and other
   radicals are formed on the oil molecule.
   These cause the molecule to become somewhat
   polar (positively charged on one end, negative or
   the other). As the number of polarized molecules
   increases, the dielectric constant of the oil
   mixture increases. At the same time, the lubri-
   cating quality of the oil decreases in the same
   proportions.

   Metal particles and other highly conductive
   contaminants change the plate area to gap widtf
   ratio  of the sensor, thereby causing a dramatic
   increase in the capacitance value. They have
   an extreme effect on LUBRl-SENSOR's readings
   when they  are present.

Operating Instructions
   As with any sensitive instrument, LUBRI-SENSOR's
   accuracy is a function of the operator's technique.
   Careful and continued adherence to the few
   simple directions below will provide the operator
   with the technique necessary to insure depend-
   able operation and accuracy.

   The instructions are broken down into categories;
   CALIBRATION, setting the unit to a zero reference
   with the same brand and type of oil in an unused
   state as the used oil to be tested, and TESTING,
   measuring and assigning a numerical value to
   the change in the used oil's dielectric.

Calibration

   1. Wipe Oil Sensor cavity carefully and thoroughly
     with clean, dry tissue. Preferably use
     SENSOR KLEEN.

   2. Set black line on Deviation Control Knob skirt
     to "0" on Deviation Scale.

   3. Fill oil sensor cavity with new oil of the same
     make and grade as the oil to be tested.

   4. Press and  hold down the Operate Switch
     and zero the Deviation Meter by turning the
     Calibration Knob either a clockwise or
     counter-clockwise direction. Release the
     Operating Button.

   5. Again thoroughly clean the Oil Sensor cavity.
     The instrument is now calibrated and ready for
     testing  used oil.  It is good practice to recheck
     calibration dajly and to periodically recheck
     during extensive testing.

Operating Instructions
Testing
   1. Always start with a clean Oil Sensor cavity and
     the black line on the Deviation Control Knob
     at "0" on Deviation Scale.

   2. Fill Oil Sensor cavity with test oil sample.
     For best results obtain sample with
     "SAMPULLER" from warm engine that has
     been operated within the last 5 minutes.

   3. Press and hold down the Operate Switch for
     approximately 15 seconds and observe the
     Deviation Meter pointer.

     a. If the pointer comes to rest in the positive
        ( +) zone of the Deviation Meter, turn the
        Deviation Control Knob and rezero the
        meter. The oil is in a Group 1 condition and
        the reading on the Deviation Scale should
       - be noted.

     b. If the pointer cannot be  rezeroed with the
        Deviation Control Knob the oil can be
        considered to be severely contaminated.

   4. Repush the Operate Switch after 30 seconds
     to detect abnormal contaminants.

     a. If the pointer has drifted off zero and
        continues to drift positively after being
        zeroed once again, the oil is in a Group 2
        condition.

     b. For a negative deviation the meter cannot be
        zeroed and the oil is in a Group  3 condition.

   5. Clean the Oil Sensor cavity and proceed to
        the next test sample. If the test indicated
        the oil was in a Group 2 or 3 condition
        extra care should be taken in cleaning the
        sensor before further testing. (Use
        SENSOR KLEEN.)

Interpretation Off Test Results
   The LUBRI-SENSOR measures oil quality by
   sensing a property of the oil called the dielectric
   constant. The dielectric constant increases or
   decreases in proportion to the relative concen-
   trations of the contaminants present in the
   oil system. The following table lists the typical
   lubricating oil contaminants and their effect
   upon the dielectric constant.

Water and antifreeze traces cause the needle
of the Deviation Meter to drift persistently off
"zero:1 In some instances the entire Deviation
Scale can be used up. When present in greater
than trace amounts the needle will peg
immediately.

Metal particles can cause LUBRI-SENSOR to
react somewhat as with water or antifreeze
although the needle movement can be more
erratic and "jerky" as the particles settle to the
bottom of the Oil Sensor cavity. It is in order
to observe these types or reactions that we
request the Operate Switch to be held down a
second time after 30 seconds into the test.

GROUP 3 contaminant causes a decrease in
the dielectric constant. This effect is caused by
the dilution of oil by gasoline, and because it
is opposite from the other group, makes the
contaminant identifiable from those of the other
two groups. The deviation is slight with petroleur
oils and pronounced with synthetic or para-
synthetic oils.
   GROUP 1 contaminants cause the dielectric
   constant to increase moderately. Oxidation and
   acids build up with engine running time and
   are the primary degradation products in engine
   lubricating oils and thus are considered
   as Normal Contaminants. The other Group 1
   contaminants are or are not present depending
   on the lubricating syste'm.

   GROUP 2 contaminants cause an extreme
   dielectric constant increase as compared with
   GROUP 1 contaminants. These contaminants are
   readily identified as  their effects overpower
   moderate dielectric  increases and/or decreases.

-------
Recording of Results
   A systematic recording system for LUBRI-
   SENSOR data allows the user to take maximum
   advantage of the instrument. We recommend
   the use of a log and/or graph system of the type
   depicted below:

   The graph  system is particularly valuable in
   that it highlights  minor variations in engine oil
   performance.

   A. Most  lubricating applications will show a
   straight line correlation between mileage
   (or running hours) and the LUBRI-SENSOR
   reading, although the  slope of the line will not
   always be  the same when an engine uses
   different makes  of the same type of oil. This can
   be attributed to better grades of oil which
   oxidize more slowly than lesser grades because
   of the additives and inhibitors present.
   On the other hand, a bank of similar engines
   might treat the same make and grade of
   lubricating oil differently depending on the
   particular "health" of each engine.

   B. The selection of a safe rejection point is a
   function of operating conditions and oil type.
   It has been our customer experience with
   correlated laboratory tests that a safe rejection
   threshold for the standard petroleum based
   multi-viscosity engine oils is "4" on LUBRI-
   SENSOR's Deviation Scale. However,
   to determine if this point best fits your particular
   operating condition and oil type, we recommend
   coordination with laboratory tests of samples
   tested on LUBRI-SENSOR.

   User tests on synthetic oils have indicated that
   one can expect  a safe rejection threshold
   between 7.5 to 8.5 on the Deviation Scale.

Recording of Results
  C. Remember that each time new oil is added,
  the Deviation Scale reading will show a lower,
  improved reading in proportion to the amount of
  oil added. Thus the amount of new oil added
  between readings should be known and consi-
  dered in LUBRI-SENSOR readings.

  D. Slope changes, either (+) or (-) indicate
  something unexpected has taken place in the
  lubrication system and should be investigated by
  chemical analysis. For example, if new oil was
  not added between readings and LUBRI-SENSOR
  shows an unexpected low reading, fuel dilution
  is to be suspected.

  Or, oil filter or air cleaner clogging can result in
  rapid increases in the dielectric.

  Following an oil change, especially with
  detergent oils, LUBRI-SENSOR readings may be
  slightly negative for the first approximately
  500 miles. Thereafter they will begin to climb in
  a positive direction. This can be attributed to
  action of the additives in the new oil.

Other Uses      	

  While the most visible application for LUBRI-
  SENSOR is engine lubricating oils, there are a
  number of other applications where the unit
  could be a help in determining oil quality.
  Other lubricating applications are: Industrial
  Machinery, Refrigeration Systems, Transmission
  and Gear Cases. LUBRI-SENSOR is also
  effective for non-lubricating applications such
  as cooling oils and quenching oils.

Maintenance	__

  LUBRI-SENSOR requires very little maintenance.
  Thorough cleaning of the sensor after testing is,
  of course, a must. If oil is spilled on the
  instrument's face, it should be wiped off promptly.
  Should the instrument be dropped or bumped
  hard, it is advisable to re-check the calibration.

                                                          change in the lubricating capability of the

                                              FUEL
WHY SPEND YOUR DOLLARS ON FILTERS THAT WERE DESIGNED FOR THE PROBLEMS
OF THE PAST? INSTALL A GCF PAPER TOWEL FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR AND
VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE  DOWNTIME  AND  INJECTOR PROBLEMS  DUE TO  TODAY'S
HEAVILY CONTAMINATED FUEL.
 The Problem:
 Contaminated FUEL (Diesel or Gasoline)


 The Causes:
Storage, condensation,  transfer  operations,  sloppy
maintenance procedures,  chemical reactions, and other
causes.


 The Result:
Damaged storage tanks, fuel  tanks, filters,  injector
pumps, injectors, and finally, DOWNTIME.


 The Solution:
Install a GCF Fuel Filter (single, double, or in banks or
2 or more singles or doubles, depending on volume
desired.)


Advantages:
 1. First, and foremost,  IT WORKS. The GCF Fuel
Filter is positively the .best buy on the market today. It is
simple to install, even more simple to service.
2. The elements are available at more locations than all
other Fuel Filter elements combined.* (How many times
have you run out of filter elements after the parts houses
have closed?)
3. Conventional filter elements (Primary and/or secon-
dary filters presently on your engine) will last indefinite-"
ly when the GCF Fuel Filter element is serviced at neces-
sary intervals (at the  first  loss of RPM or an increase of
3-5" above clean filter  reading  on vacuum gauge).
Clean filter reading on vacuum gauge ideally should be
0" but never  over 7" under maximum load.  Higher
reading than 7" iiidrcales additional lilter(s) needed in
parallel.
4. Inventory costs are drastically lowered since conven-
tional elements are seldom replaced and'since the GCF
Fuel Filter element is the same for all engines.
5. Contrary to popular belief, water is not the primary
cause of downtime in a  diesel engine...it is all of the
other contaminants combined. Water can be effectively
removed with  simple water-traps. The element used in
GCF's Fuel Filter not only cleans but "drys" the fuel.
Compare any  conventional filter element  with the ele-
 ment recommended  for GCF's Fuel Filter. And there
 the comparison ends.
 •The element recommended for the GCF Fuel Filter is a
 large roll of Quality paper towels, available at the near-
 est supermarket.
Keeping the right amount of products available is of ut-
most importance to keep customers from turning to other
products that did arrive on time. Clean fuel keeps the en-
gine purring at peak efficiency with no injector or pump
failures. Its CAT3406 engine also runs on clean oil thru a
GCF paper towel oil filter.
Dennis Dauro, owner of this 5140,000 shrimp boat, does
not worry about where he buys fuel...he has used paper
towel oil and fuel filters for several years. But, when at
home, he always fills up at James Murray's Fuel Dock thru
this bank of 12 GCF Model "B"double-elementfuelfilters
at 49 gpm at 45 psi. Dennis likes to kid, "Getting clean fuel
from James saves my paper towels on the boat."
 When your fleet only fills at a central location, it is often-
 times much more cost-effective to place the fuel filters at
 the pump instead of on each individual piece of equipment.
 Also is outstanding for service trucks delivering your fuel
 to remote operating locations. A GCF by-pass oilfiller on
 the tractor insures clean oil and long engine life.

                                                 OIL
We can  eliminate  oil changes  and  increase engine  life
 WITH A BY-PASS GCF  PAPER TOWEL FILTER AND LABORATORY OIL ANALYSIS.
 WHY ADD A BY-PASS OIL FILTER?
   To answer this question it is important to review the
 full-flow  and by-pass filter systems.
   In the full-flow system, all the oil that lubricates the
 engine is first pumped through the full-flow filter. Since
 this amount of oil is quite large, 10 to 20 quarts in a V8
 car engine and much more in a large diesel engine, the
 full-flow must be porous (somewhat like a sieve) so that
 it will not restrict this  large volume of oil.
   The advantages of the full-flow system are: It protects
 the bearings and all other  moving parts of the engine
 since the oil has to go through it first. It is especially
 useful during break-in when close tolerance parts are
 "wearing-in". By filtering all the oil used in lubricating
 the precision parts, the larger particles that could seri-
 ously damage the engine are removed. EXCEPT: during
 start-up, if the oil is too cold or  thick  to readily flow
 through the filter, the pressure relief valve opens and
 allows unfiltered oil to lubricate the engine. Also, this
 valve opens when the full-flow filter becomes  clogged.
 The reason for this is that dirty oil is better than no oil.
   In the by-pass system, the oil is regulated through the
 filter in a very small amount and then returns directly to
 the oil pan. This filtering system filters a small percent-
 age of the oil and refreshes the engine with oil that has
 passed slowly through a much denser element  than the
 full-flow element. Since ft filters at a very slow rate, and
 it is not responsible for supplying  oil for lubrication, it
 is possible to insert a very dense element that  will trap
 the microscopic particles that grind away the precision
 moving parts of the engine. With the proper element, it
 also can remove sluge producing contaminants (mostly
 water and  carbon panicles).  The  disadvantage,  of
 course, is that only a small portion of the oil is filtered
 at a time. An interesting note is that many industrial en-
 gines still  come factory equipped with only the by-pass
 filter system.
 SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER?
   Both! If your engine is equipped with a full-flow filter
 system leave it intact to do its designed function of pro-
 tecting the moving parts of the engine. Add a quality.
 -GCF by-pass filter to keep the oil CLEAN!

Nov.  9,  1985.  INDAL ALUMINUM'S #407 had run
117,275 miles without a single expensive oil change!! Oil
analysis confirms the excellent condition of the 400HP
CUMMINS engine and the 15 W-40 oil. Each 12,000 miles it
costs about 114.00 for 2 rolls of Bounty and make-up oil
plus 10 min. labor to service  the GCF B-l  Oil Filter.

static lock and bent a connecting rod. The engine was in
"new" condition with no visible wear. Only the one cylin-
der and rod assembly was replaced and the engine put back
in service. The oil had not been changed in over 8,000
hours! (August 18, 1983 to February 20, 1985).

                                         FACILITY OR THE FLEET OPERATOR DO
                                         WITH USED ANTIFREEZE?


                                         Used antifreeze is highly contaminated...
                                           As antifreeze accumulates miles or hours in a vehicle
                                           cooling system, it accumulates many different types of
                                           contaminants. The most hazardous of these
                                           contaminants is lead. However, iron, copper,
                                           aluminum, chlorides, sulfates, acids and oils may also
                                           be present in used antifreeze. All of these are
                                           potentially harmful to people and our environment
                                           when disposed of improperly.


                                         Used antifreeze is considered dangerous...
                                           Many state and local governments have labeled used
                                           antifreeze as a pollutant or a hazardous waste which
                                           cannot be discharged into a sewer or dumped on the
                                           ground. These agencies now have regulatory
                                           requirements in place which define disposal
                                           procedures for pollutants and hazardous waste
                                           materials.


                                         Non-compliance can be expensive...
                                           The threat of heavy fines and imprisonment make the
                                           disposal problem even more frightening. Improper
                                           disposal of contaminated antifreeze can result in  fines
                                           as high as $25,000.00 per day.

                                         High disposal costs add to the problem...
                                          - Choosing to have your used antifreeze taken to an
                                           outside firm for recycling or disposal costs as high as
                                           $12.00 per gallon.


                                         Environmental groups add to the pressure...
                                           Environmental groups are becoming a stronger power
                                           and demanding government action on environmental
                                           issues.
                                         IT'S A CHALLENGE FOR ALL OF US!!

                                             system solves the problem.
                                               The BG Cool'r Clean'r™ Coolant Purification System
                                               not only cleans the entire cooling system, it also
                                               cleanses the used antifreeze, removes contaminates,
                                               and leaves only pure water and ethylene glycol.


                                             BG Cool'r Clean'r™ Coolant Purification
                                             System eliminates the need to drain coolant
                                             from the vehicle.
                                               Utilizing a closed loop system, the used antifreeze is
                                               circulated from the engine through a five step
                                               purification process, then returned to the vehicle
                                               cooling system.


                                             The system removes impurities, yet retains
                                             ethylene glycol...like magic!!
                                               After processing, the fluid which is retained consists
                                               only of de-ionized water that is more pure than
                                               ordinary tap water, and the purified ethylene glycol
                                               that was originally in the coolant.

                                             process.
                                               The BG Cool'r Clean'r™ Complet'r Kit adds the
                                               necessary conditioners back to the system to inhibit
                                               corrosion, prevent foaming, and neutralize acidic
                                               contaminants. It protects all cooling system metals
                                               including copper, solder, brass, steel, cast iron and
                                               aluminum. It is suitable for use in engines utilizing
                                               aluminum cylinder heads and water pumps, and it
                                               also protects against high lead solder corrosion.

                               Total Dissolved Solids

                              By Rob Richardson, Lab Manager

             Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a term of importance concerning the issue of
       recycling antifreeze. TDS is a measure (usually in parts per million, or ppm) of the
       amount of dissolved or ionic species in coolants. The greatest contributor to TDS is the
       additives dissolved in the coolant to protect against corrosion.
             Normal levels in new coolants range from 5,000 to 20,000 ppm. Normal levels in
       used coolants range from 5,000 to 30,000. TDS levels beyond 30,000 have been known
       to aggravate water pump failure through face seal leakage. Additives can also come out
       of solution to dog cooling systems and plate out on internal components, thus reducing
       heat transfer.
             There wifl likely be a TDS limit set for recycled coolants when an ASTM specifi-
       cation is drafted. That spells "good news* for our patent-pending BG Cool'r Clean'r ™
       Coolant Purification System because it reduces TDS levels below 150 ppm each and
       every time the coolant is processed. Other systems actually increase TDS with the
       addition of concentrated inhibitor packages after recycling and may reach the TDS limit
       after only one or two services.

Guardian - The Proven Coolant
Recycling System
  The Hyde Guardian Coolant Recycling
System is a proven fluid management
tool for plants with  individual coolant or
wastewater reservoirs.
  The Guardian uses a topped-off batch
type process to recondition
metalworking coolants commonly used
in individual machine tools. It is equally
effective for washing compounds and
other water soluble mixtures where
tramp-oils and suspended solids detract
from performance.  This highly versatile
product incorporates Hyde's proven
tramp-oil separator, which has provided
years of trouble free performance to
hundreds of metalworking plants.
  The Guardian provides a central fluid
collection point for tramp-oil and
suspended solids removal, bacteria
control and fluid concentration
adjustment A divided tank is used to
process the used coolant The inlet (dirty
coolant) compartment allows settling
and removal of suspended solids and the
second (clean coolant) compartment
holds the clarified coolant Three
principles - gravity settling, filtration and
coalescence - are used to attain
exceptional clarification of the coolant
A floating skimmer  in the inlet
compartment assures surface "pick-up"
of free floating tramp-oils and any
undesirable rag or cream layer. A bag
filter assembly is used to remove
suspended solids and the integral tramp-
oil separator, using Hyde's unique gravity
coalescence principle, removes free
floating, dispersed and loosely
emulsified tramp-oils from the coolant
to as little as '4% by volume.
  The separated tramp-oil is discharged
automatically directly into a drum, while
the clarified coolant flows by gravity
from the separator into the clean
compartment A unique advantage of
the Guardian recycling system is that the
clarified and refortified coolant
continually overflows to the inlet
compartment for further clarification.
This feature provides continuous  mixing
of the clarified coolant  prevents
rancidity and assures a continuous
volume of clean coolant ready for use
on your machines.
  The Hyde Guardian recycling system
is supplied in start-up condition, needing
only electrical power, make-up water for
the coolant proportionator, and a J/<"
plant air supply connection. All
Guardian units are constructed of coated
steel and other high grade materials,
fully suitable for rugged industrial
applications.

Custom Engineering
  Hyde also provides custom
engineering including: tailored
capacities, additional tankage, pre- and
post-filtration, and temperature control.

Simple to Maintain
  The Guardian is furnished with an air
sparger to remove settleable sludges
from the tramp-oil separator 2 SCFM of
plant air at 5 PSIC is aH that is required
to purge the unit of solids and sludges.
The cleaning cycle takes about 10
minutes once every 90 to 120 days.
Replacement of the solids removal unit
element is required only infrequently
dependent on the loading.
Featured Options
  A Hyde fihrafuge™ is recommended
when cast iron or other metallic fines
from grinding and other sources
contaminate miscible fluids. High clarity
(2 micron, if required) is attained by the
Filtrafuge's diffuser action design.
Downtime for change outs is minimal
due to the simplified dumping feature.
Semi to fully automatic Filtrafuges are
available if high solids contamination
warrants.
                The Hyde Miscible fluid Return System is
                available when a convenient source of

GEN/MEM1" systems are
designed to handle recovery
and/or disposal of metalwork-
ing fluids in a single economi-
cal unit.  For recovery
operations, our patented self-
cleaning centrifuge is the
primary  fluid separator. For
disposal, it acts as the first
clarification stage.
    GEN/MEM" recovery
features  removal of solids and
tramp oils. It has automatic
fluid make-up, water de-
ionization and offers biological
control. GEN/MEM" has
multiple  fluid recovery
capabilities.
    In disposal service, CEN/
MEM1* provides continuous or
batch processing to 7200
GPD (larger on request) with
optimized membrane
performance and longer
membrane life. It produces
permeate with an oil content
less than 100 PPM. The
centrifuge removes high grade
oil. suspended solids, and
continually breaks down the
uttrafiltration concentrate. Pre-  .
clarification gives higher
continuous flux rates while
reducing both by-product
build-up and the frequency of
membrane cleaning.
    The centrifuge works in
concert with the membrane-
concentrated fluid, making the
centrifuge even more efficient.
The result is high purity
permeate (water) and reduced
volumes of liquids and solids
for disposal.
