Operational Procedures

Operational Description Narrative

Lancaster Oil Company (LOC) d/b/a Environmental Recovery Corporation (ERC), was incorporated in 1988 in the State of Pennsylvania with the goal of processing various used oil/water streams generated by businesses within trucking distance of our facility. Due to the growth of the waste industry, ERC’s focus has expanded to process numerous residual waste streams that may or may not contain oil.

When a truck arrives at our facility, a composite sample of the residual waste is collected

and tested to see if it meets the standards to be accepted at ERC. If the product is acceptable for

Waste Water Treatment, it is off-loaded through a filter designed to catch any foreign material

larger than 1/8”. The oil/water is stored in 20,000 gallons tanks where an initial separation by

gravity takes place. The water from the bottom of this tank is transferred to 48,300-gallon tanks.

From here the water is transferred to the treatment process. This process consists of multiple

stages. In the first stage, various polymers are added inline to the water, and pumped to a

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) system after the pH has been elevated. This stage removes

contaminates such as oil/grease, solids and metals. The treated water moves to the second

stage, where the pH is lowered, more chemical is added and the material is run through the

second DAF. Finally, the water is pumped to a third stage where the pH is again raised and the

water is finished before discharge to the local sewer authority. The resultant floc from these

processes is filter pressed using a plate and frame filter press and the floc goes to landfill and the

water is re run through the process.

The oil phase separated in the initial process is then pumped to a 7,000-gallon treatment

tank where final separation is achieved with various combinations of heat and emulsifiers.

Finished oil is then transferred to one of many 20,000 gallons tank for final marketing.

If the material is acceptable but not for the Waste Water Treatment Process but

acceptable per our permit then the material goes to one of four 7500-gallon solidification pits.

The material is mixed with sawdust and is prepared for shipment to either landfill or a waste to

energy incinerator. The material is shipped in either 20 or 30 yard self-sealing roll off containers.

All residual solid waste material undergoes the same analysis process as residual liquid

material prior to acceptance by Environmental Recovery Corporation. After lab approval, the

liquid portion of the waste is consolidated on a vacuum trailer, unloaded and processed with the

other bulk liquid material. The solids are mixed with sawdust to stabilize any residual liquids,

then bulked together in roll off containers and shipped to either an approved landfill or

incinerator.

Origin of Materials

All the residual waste brought into this facility will be permit approved by the PADEP. All

residual wastes are non-hazardous.

Composition and Disposal of Contaminates

1. All the liquid contaminates separated during the water treatment process are combined and shipped to a local landfill.

2. All solid contaminates are stored in lined steel containers and taken to a local

incinerator or regulated landfill. Daily Operational Procedures

1. Each tank is visually inspected for structural integrity and volume levels.

2. Laboratory QA/QC enforced by calibration and calibration check samples run per EPA Method used.

3. With the arrival of each load, a composite sample is analyzed for acceptance and

compatibility.

4. Upon lab approval, the loads are handled according to the operational procedures.

5. Chemical usage and inventory monitored daily.

6. Daily monitoring of treated water.

7. Shut down procedures ensuring proper non-operational periods. Loading Rate

1. The off-loading rate of this facility is 110,000 gallons per day.

2. The treatment rate of this facility is 110,000 gallons per day.

3. The expected life of this facility is over 20 years.

5

Operating Hours We can accept product from 7 AM to 8 PM Monday through Friday and weekend by appointment. We are open from 7AM to 9PM five days per week. In the event of an emergency, the normal work day could be extended indefinitely and the facility can be operational 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Equipment Specifications

1. All hoses are 2”, 3” or 4” 150 PSI. All hoses have aluminum or brass cam lock fittings.

2. There are storage and process tanks on the property ranging in size from 1,000 gallons to 48,300 gallons. Each tank is designed to meet all pressure and safety requirements.

3. All piping is 1”, 2” or 3”. All piping is pressure rated. All valves thread onto the piping.

4. There are many different motors for different tasks. They range from 3 phase 25 HP

motors to off-load trucks, to 1 HP motors for pumping small tanks. Where necessary, all motors and electrical fittings are explosion proof.

Compliance Guidelines

Evidence To The Effect That The Intended Use Will Not Adversely Affect Public Health, Safety And Welfare Environmental Recovery Corporation accepts only non-hazardous residual waste streams into its facility. All bulk liquid loads accepted have been tested prior to off-loading at this facility. The liquids are off-loaded in a safe, approved manner into an enclosed tank. The mixtures are then treated and the oils tested and sold. The resultant water is tested for acceptable quality before being discharged into the Lancaster City Sewer System. The bulk and drummed solids are also tested prior to acceptance and are bulked together in lined 20 cubic yard containers for shipment to the landfill. The necessary precautions for safety and welfare of employees and the general public are covered in the PPC plan required by the State of Pennsylvania.

Operational Safety, Fire Prevention and Emergency Plan

The procedures and requirements of this area are covered under Environmental

Recovery Corporation’s PPC plan. Emergency Procedures, Part A: Fire, Part B: Spill and Part C:

Transportation.

In addition to these procedures, the following apply:

1. All good housekeeping practices are to be followed at all times. These include: A. Visual checks of the facility each day. B. Hoses, moveable equipment and tools are returned to appropriate positions at

the end of each day. C. All chemicals are sealed and returned to storage areas at the end of the day. D. Periodic testing and inspection of fire equipment to ensure workability. E. Familiarization of new employees with plant procedures, plant layout, exits and

placement of firefighting equipment. SDS sheets and OSHA requirements are part of the job training.

Lab Procedures/Operation Nothing is off loaded at ERC until it is lab tested. The required test guidelines come from the PA DEP who has given this facility the authorization to operate.

1. Tanker trucks and drums are sampled before off loading or the drums being pumped or dumped.

2. All products must meet the acceptance standards or the product is rejected.

3. The LOC Lab Director has the final say on all approvals and rejections.

Qualifications of Lab Personnel

1. The ERC lab director has over 25 years of experience in waste water/oil chemistry.

2. The lab assistants are trained on the job by our lab director. The lab assistants must master the skills of all the various tests used at ERC before being able to render decisions on accepted or rejected product.

Testing Parameters for Inbound Wastes

1.) pH – Must be between 2.01 and 12.49. Test Method is Standard Methods 4500-H+B 2.) Flash Point – Must be over 100°F for material to be treated through our Waste Water

Treatment System, must be over 140°F to be processed in the pits if the material is liquid. If the material is solid that flash point can be lower than these limits but approval will come from the Lab Manager. The Method used is ASTM D93

3.) Total Halogens (TX) – If this is over 1000 ppm an 8260 Solvent Scan is to be performed. If below 1000 ppm than the material is acceptable. Generally, if the result is over 4000 ppm the material, if acceptable per the solvent scan, will only be treatable by stabilization and landfill. The Method used is EPA Method 9076.

4.) PCBs – Less than 50 ppm with a source less than 50 ppm. If for Waste Water Treatment then the PCBs must be less than 10 ppb. If for Oil Recovery than the PCBs must be less than 2 ppm. The Method used is EPA Method 8082.

5.) Solvent Scan – Only performed if the Total Halogens (TX) is above 1000 ppm. All 10 tested for F001 and F002 listed constituents must be less than 100 ppm. The Method used is EPA Method 8260.

6.) BS&W (Bottom Solids and Water) – Used to determine the oil, water, rag layer and solids content. The Method used is ASTM D1796.

7.) Other tests may be conducted to determine treatability, water soluble organics content or total dissolved solids content but are not required per permit.

Laboratory Equipment

1.) Two Accumet pH meters 2.) Koehler Rapid Flash Point Tester 3.) Koehler Closed Cup Pensky Marten Flash Point Tester 4.) Multiple Mitsubishi TOX-100 Microcoulometers 5.) Perkin Elmer Clarus 500 GC/MS 6.) Multiple Shimadzu GCs for PCBs 7.) Spectro Genesis ICP for metals
