There are still needs at those sites not yet converted. The current silver recovery method from photo processing effluent utilizes chemical means at elevated temperatures resulting in sludge containing the silver and chemical fumes. Vacuum distillation technology operates on the principal of evaporating water from Xray developing effluent at room temperatures with the distillate being discharged directly into the rubber. Purchase or lease of minilab with digital processing capabilities would increase process turnaround time, handle large quantities of work, and would be capable of developing both color and black and white film.
Furthermore, vacuum distillation system requires less labor hours to operate and maintain than the current chemical processing system. significant decrease in the amount of waste can be reduced by the use of polishing resin is required. FASTT recommends replacing the ion exchange resin pails with two electrolytic silver recovery units and polishing resin, if required. Photo DevelopingSilver Recovery Note Digital photography equipment has all but eliminated the need for silver recovery in DoD. FASTT recommends considering laser engraving system. This could reduce the quantity of waste to be disposed by 90.

Laser Engraving Many activities use router type engraver for placards, plaques, and rubber stamps. Current photographic capabilities include processing small quantities of black and white photographs. Lance Hilley who can be reached at 80443334283429 DSN 433.
The high of digital technology is the primary reason photo processing and the associated requirement for silver recovery will continue to be used. Photo DevelopingSilver Recovery Note Digital photography equipment has all but eliminated the need for silver recovery in DoD. This could reduce the quantity of waste to be disposed by 90. FASTT recommends considering laser engraving system. chemical film processing, including automatic film processing, generates waste. This technology was demonstrated successfully at NAS Oceana Imaging Center by Mr. Current photographic capabilities include processing small quantities of black and white film.
