BACKGROUND: To authorize the Director of Finance and Management to enter into a contract with Valmet Inc. for the purchase of four (4) Total Solid Analyzers, each with glass lined internals and a cleanout ring. The equipment will be used at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant to monitor sludge total solids content, thus providing more consistent total solids to the digester feed. This will help the facility process more solids, and less water, which increases digester capacity and improves sludge processing.
