| 1. Power: |
460 or 575 volt, three-phase power is required to the test trailer power connection. The total amp requirement will be <20 amps. |
| 2. Water: |
One ¾" water hose to the trial unit for polymer make-down, steam generation, rotary screen thickener shower water, and wash-down is required. |
3. Sludge
Supply: |
A sludge line to the sludge feed tank inlet valve located at the rear of the trailer is necessary. If there are 2 or more materials to be mixed for dewatering, separate lines are required for each sludge. Each trailer carries a portable poly tank which can be used to mix sludges. |
| 4. Kerosene: |
Five gallons of kerosene should be provided to power the boiler for steam generation if steam use testing is to be done. |
| 5. Other: |
A bin place next to the trailer for cake disposal is helpful. Usually 100–200 lbs./hr of dewatered material will be produced. 100" of 2½" hose is carried on the trailer for sludge supply and filtrate drainage. |
| 6. Cost: |
The cost for an on-site test is the cost of one-way trailer transportation plus airfare for two FKC technicians to the airport nearest the work site. |
