ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Why don’t you tell us what flame arresters are?
Mr. Boucher
We have a digester complex at the Waste Water Plant, there are two tanks that produce methane gas and
another gas storage tank. Each of these tanks have flame arresters on it, if there was ever a flame outside of
the tank, it can’t go back into the tank and ignite. These flame arresters, over time, get clogged and have to be
replaced. So we want to have NESCO, New England Energy Services Corp. come in. They have already
done one for us, that was needed because the gas wasn’t regulated in the system.
