i 1 <br /> f have the plans filed with the DEP next Friday. He had the applications and <br /> checks already. He just needed the letter* <br /> Mr. Harrington responded that he just needed some time next week to put <br /> a final review on it and if he had any questions he would run it over with <br /> Mr. Tim Santos. <br /> iir. Ball asked the ether beard members if they were in agreement to <br /> allover Mr. Harrington to have the final authorization to approve the plans <br /> without them corning back in for the board's approval. <br /> Mr. Glenn Santos had no problem with that request as long as it was done <br /> by the end of the year. They had to stick to their guns. He felt that they <br /> were a-year-and-one-half over.. <br /> Mr, Harrington stated that technically this was not brain surgery. They <br /> were talking two different tanks. The first tank merely has an aerator in it <br /> with a blower. It was just different from the FAST system basically <br /> because there was no plastic media for the bacteria to attach which is <br /> called a "fixed film" type of system. <br /> Mr. Steve Boyd interjected that basically ghat they were doing was <br /> rejecting bacteria instead of having a mixed or solid base. The idea in <br /> FAST systems and even other system you more or less depend on the <br /> bacteria to show up, occupy a solid space and percolate. Thur system i <br /> different. it was actually designed to shock everyday with injection of <br /> appropriate strains of bacteria so if you have a crash, say from whatever <br /> source,, a chemical inhibitor or whatever, then the next day it was re- <br /> started, That was the difference between some of these systems. <br /> Basically their system was focused on the microbial ecology of the <br /> system whereas most system are focused on tanks, pumps and space. <br /> They believe that they occupy the right conditions and maintain the <br /> conditions over a period of time. You will contain and develop the <br /> communities that will actually do the job you are trying to do. In this case <br /> they were trying to reduce the total amount of carbon in the system <br /> through things called COD reducers and denitrification to reduce the total <br /> suspended solids and things like that. They separate the tanks, so called <br /> T1 and T2 so that they can very carefully measure those reactions. <br /> Basically this was an underground fermenter. If you look closely at some <br /> of the other things lute Bioclere and things life that. Everything is more or <br /> less happening In one giant tank in which there is no easy way to measure <br /> if you have failure or success. You can look at things on the outside as <br /> they cone out the door, if there is something wrong there is no way to <br /> correct. In this case what they do is control each fermentation position in <br /> very simple tiny little pumps all gravity fed. <br /> 7 <br />
