Mr. Cooke explained business operations commenting, <br /> the mobile sepage treatment truck has the capabilities o <br /> separating sludge from the light weight liquids within the <br /> holding tank at a hone or commercial business location., The <br /> vehicle takes the material out of the holding tank, separates <br /> the solids from the liquids and returns it to the holding <br /> tank treated to wastewater standards. The solids remain in <br /> the truck and are hauled off site. The vehicle is capable of <br /> processing between ten and twenty homes a day per truck. The <br /> remaining material is limed, stabilized and slightly chlori- <br /> nated to help eliminate the bacteriological action within the <br /> hosing and the - operations of the truck.
