WHEREAS, the City of Port Angeles Waste Water Treatment Plant produces
class B biosolids that are combined with green waste to produce class A compost. In

humidity, occasional spills, and odors; and

are similar to the currently used belt press. A screw press is also enclosed and can be
vented into the Waste Water Treatment Plant HVAC system providing moisture and odor
control-, and

produce class A biosolids, allows for custom control systems rather than a
preprogrammed package; has readily available parts and factory service in the state of
Washington; includes instrumentation and integration with the City's other process
equipment through a polymer system; and includes fitment and modified equipment to
accommodate existing infrastructure; and

Model BHX-800x4500L screw presses and accessories in Washington; and
