### Amalgam Separator Questions



## TOPICS DISCUSSED AND ACTION TAKEN

On March 2, 2011 at 10:37am I called SolmeteX and left a message with Kelly (ext. 37) explaining that I was looking for information about their amalgam separators. She returned my call at 2:07pm and left a message. I returned her call at 2:15pm and left a message.

On March 4, 2011 at 2:16pm I calle d Kelly and she stated that they no longer sell the Hg10, Hg5 with Effluent Flow Restrictor or the Hg5

- Rev K. The only three models currently sold are the Hg5, Hg5 Mini and the Hg5 HV. They also sell an amalgam scarp bucket (for the front end of the office ) and information about the bucket is located on the waste compliance section of their website. She also stated that they don’t sell their separators directly, only through distributors. I thanked her for her time and told her I’d call back with any furthe r questions.

From: Kimberly Landick To: adobe@solmetex.com Sent: 2/28/11 11:39 AM Subject: Request for Amalgam Separator Information

Dear Mr. Dube,

I am a contractor providing technical support to EPA's Engineering and Analysis Division (EAD) in developing Effluent Limitations Guidelines for amalgam discharges from dental offices. As part of this effort, I am collecting information about amalgam separator treatment effectiveness and costs. I have listed the information that I currently have about your models in the attached spreadsheet. The highlighted cells display the information I am missing. Specifically, I am interested in the following information ab out your Hg5 with Effluent Flow Restrictor model :

Unit Capacity (# of chairs) Flow Capacity (L/min) Dimensions (HxWxD) Unit Cost Installation Cost Replacement Parts Necessary (Cannister, Filter, etc.) Repla cement Frequency Recycling Charge if Separate First Year Costs Other Year Costs

We appreciate your assistance in gathering the correct amalgam separator information. If you have any questions regarding this request or if you would prefer to discuss this information over the phone, please call me at (703) 633

- 1119.

Thank you, Kim
