~8 e 14 THE PROCESS WHICH IS ,TO BE USED IN YOUR TREATMENT PLANT IS THE ELUTRIATION Of THE DIGESTED SLUDGE PRIOR TO THE DRYING, Of THE SLUDGE IN THE VACUUM fiLTER. THE ELUTRIATION Of THE SLUDGE ELIMINATES THE USE Of CERTAIN CHEMICALS IN CONDITIONING THE DIGESTED SLUDGE. THE SAVING IN CHEMICALS, THEREfORE, MAKES THE USE Of THE ELUTRIATION PROCESS ECONOMICAL. IN ORDER TO PREVENT SOME EQUIPMENT PEOPLE fROM BEING ABLE TO BID ON SUPPLYING EQUIPMENT, WHO MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO fURNISH THE LICENSE TO OPERATE USING THE ELUTRIATION PROCESS, THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS WERE PREPARED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE CITY Of EUGENE WOULD PURCHASE THE LICENSE DIRECT fROM THE PATENT HOLDER. IT WAS ALSO fELT THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PATENT MIGHT NOT STILL BE IN fORCE BY THE TIME THAT THE PLANT IS PLACED IN OPERATION.
