P U R C H A S E O F WATER TREATMENT EQUIPMENT (25) T o provide additional water treatment equipment needed in the Abbott Power Plant, the Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Comptroller recommend the purchase of another Zeo-Karb unit from the Permutit Company, Chicago, at a price of $19,573. T h e purchase of this equipment is recommended by Professor Frederick G. Straub of the Department of Chemistry and by Sargent and Lundy, Engineers, Chicago. The Permutit Company is the only manufacturer of this type of equipment. It is possible to use a hot process softener for silica removal and demineralization, but this would take too much room in the plant. The equipment on which the Permutit Company has quoted is compact and is largely for use in power plants. Tests have shown this equipment removes more silica than any other developed to date. The Permutit Company supplied the present units at the Abbott Power Plant and it is desirable that the additions be of the same type. F u n d s are available. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to purchase this equipment. O n m o t i o n of M r . M c L a u g h l i n , t h i s p u r c h a s e w a s a u t h o r i z e d a s recommended.
