MAINTENANCE NEEDS

The application of adsorption through the use of a granular activated carbon adsorption system is a well-known and proven treatment technique in treating drinking water, wastewater, process liquids and fluids, and groundwater treatments throughout the world. Capital expenditures have been made in the purchase of adsorption systems which have become important, integral parts of Municipal and Industrial operating permits. The reliability and operational status of these adsorption systems is a critical issue which must be addressed through a pro-active maintenance program to maximize system life. At the same time, internal operating budgets are continually under pressure for reductions and economies. These two trends are usually in opposition to each other. New and improved maintenance programs are continuously sought which will insure system reliability at reduced maintenance expenditures.

THE PROGRAM

...How it works

The GSC Carbon Preventative Maintenance Program is a two-step process:

First, for a single fixed fee, GSC Carbon will perform a preventative maintenance inspection. This inspection will provide a written report on the operational status and physical condition of your adsorption system. This inspection is performed during a granular carbon exchange so that both an external and internal assessment can be made. In addition to the physical status of the adsorption system, system operating manuals, operator training, and carbon exchange procedures will also be thoroughly reviewed. A final report will document the findings as well as provide written recommendations for changes in equipment and procedures, or in training that will be necessary. The inspection carried out by our industry experts is an effective management tool for assessing system status and for diagnosing problem areas that need specific attention. The inspection will also establish the monthly service fees that will be used in the maintenance program.

The second part of the Preventive Maintenance Program is the on-going equipment maintenance services performed by GSC Carbon's own industry experts. These fully trained and accredited technicians, through broad experience base, will assure reliable system performance at reduced maintenance costs. This budgeted monthly fee covers labor, parts, repairs or replacements for the critical components in your adsorption system. The guaranteed maintenance would include repair or replacement of the following major components:

• Annual on-going inspections	• Rupture disc piping
• Lining repairs or replacements	• Sight glass
• Underdrain nozzle replacements	• Gasket/packing replacements
• Underdrain nozzle piping and supports	• Vessel distributing piping
• Valve repairs or replacement	• Maintenance reports
• Painting	• Spare parts lists
• Spool piece

These contracted on-going maintenance services can be done on a monthly fee, a total service basis, or on a time and materials basis.

Through this multi-year contractual year agreement, the maximum subscriber benefits are realized. The value propositions that GSC Carbon brings are rapidly seen in your enhanced plant operations, maximized system reliability, reduced maintenance costs, and extended system life.
