Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The project takes place at the City of Toledo's Spent Lime Dewatering Facility, where spent lime is processed into a reusable solid form. The facility operates two presses, handling approximately 250,000 gallons of spent lime per day. The spent lime entering the presses has a solid content of 4-5%, which increases to 45-50% after processing. A mixer is used to keep solids suspended. If the mixer malfunctions, the solids content drops to about 3-4% before pressing. Higher solid content going into the presses results in a higher percentage of solids coming out. Currently, only one mixer is in operation, and there is no functional spare available if it fails.
