General Subject: 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 called 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 further 

questions.

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 about 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.)

Replacement 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
