General Subject: Amalgam Separator Questions

TOPICS DISCUSSED AND ACTION TAKEN

On March 2, 2011 at 10:58am I called Rebec Solutions and spoke with Darrel. I asked him to explain the 

different models that Rebec Solutions manufactures. He stated that they have the 400 series, 1000 series and 

9000 series. Each series can be made to fit custom dental offices as well. He stated that the flow into and out of 

the system varies between each system but it is at least 1 L/min for all systems because that’s the ISO standard. 

The REB is a serial number, not another model. Each series also has subsections such as the REB3001 which is 

a cartridge under the REB401 (in the 400 series). Their plus series increases the amount of waste that can be 

treated per amalgam separator. All models require a cartridge to be changed every 12 months. 

Rebec Solutions is one of the only companies that can handle various custom projects. They handle many big 

projects including various dental schools (150-500 gallon tanks). They also sell scrap amalgam buckets which 

are sold by the bucket (1, 3.5 and 5 gallon buckets) and an enzyme cleaner for vacuums. 

Their recycling program is an annual program that is included in the replacement price of the canisters 

(approximately $445 per year). The 400 series is initially $1000-$1400, 1000 series is $1600-$2300, and the 

9000 series varies greatly on a case by case basis. The plus series usually raises the annual replacement price a 

bit because they have 2 canisters to recycle instead of 1. The initial cost is not much more though. Darrel told 

me that if I have more questions feel free to call him or call and ask for Justin.

Subject: Request for Amalgam Separator Information

Dear Mr. Reber, 

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 REB model:

Certification/Testing Standard (ISO, EPA/ETV, Other)

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
