Dear Jess,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a firm proposal for the MarMac Low Dose System
for your Port Arthur Water Purification Plant.
Please find below benefits of the MarMac Low Dose System for your plant:
• Existing ACH/polymer blend can benefit from accurate on-line zeta potential
measurements allowing for Optimal dosing
• Savings in coagulant demand can be achieved. Projected savings of up to 30% can
be achieved based on jar test results and experience at other facilities
• Plant personnel can implement the LowDoseTM control panel/software and collect data
in a "manual" mode allowing operators to make adjustments. Fully automated control
dosing can be "phased" in based on confidence level with operations.
• LowDoseTM automated chemical dosing software can provide the following benefits:
o Improved coagulant dose response (manual or automated control)
o Reduced coagulant demand
o Reduced operator attention

MarMac Water
LowDoseTM Demonstration Scope of Supply
Introduction
MarMac Water will provide the following equipment and manpower for the LowDoseTM Software and
Anton Paar Online Litesizer1M on-site demonstration.
1.0 Introduction/Integration Call
• An integration call between client Integration representative and MarMac Water
integration representative to obtain tag list(see attached)and determine requirements
for SCADA integration and operation.
2.0 Installation Requirements — By Customer
• Identify location for continuous sampling from rapid mix source. Ideally,control panel
and zeta potential enclosure to be installed next to the Rapid Mix basin (site of existing
streaming current monitor). Will require an enclosure such as a Tough Shed, other to
protect against the elements. Will require access to SCADA.
• Power supply 110V single phase (2 outlets).
• SCADA integration and access to coagulant dosing pump(see attached tag list)
3.0 Equipment Supply
• Deliver to site:
One (1) MarMac Water LowDoseTM Control Panel
One (1)Zeta potential analyzer enclosure
One (1)Anton Paar Online LitesizerTM Zeta Potential Analyzer
4.0 Endress Hauser On-line Colorimeter
The City is interested in on-line analysis of color and the potential to automate coagulant dose during
exceptional rainfall events. We recommend that the City contract separately with Endress Hauser
regarding"trial demonstration"or lease. To determine the effectiveness of on-line color detection in a
drinking water plant,the main goal is to determine if this can be successful. Upon successful operation,
automating coagulant dosing can be incorporated into the permanent LowDoseTM supply. This testing
should be separate from our LowDoseTM trial however can be run concurrently.
5.0 Integration Verification Pre-start-up
Virtual coordination between MarMac Water integrator and Client integrator. MarMac Water control
panel can be accessed remotely via cell modem. Connection will be disconnected when completed.
Marmac Water will request approval from client before connecting for any remote access.
MarMac Water
