Matters Magazine .

“th n x (b s ) mWea… MWEA is experiencing the greatest levels

o excellence in its history. This really isterrifc, isn’t it? But , this is not the frst timethat this could be said o the organization. My

guess is that the olks in charge in 1930 elt the organization was in much better shape than when it was ounded in 1925, and in 1950 it was better o than in 1940, and in 1975things were better than in 1965, and on and

on...“Every ew years, groups like ours get

excited about incorporating some newtechnology or methodology into their way o

doing business or grow tired o dealing withthe same old problems in the same old ways…

and then the excitement o the move to the next generation o organization or equipment.

“The reality is that we should be constantly asking, ‘What’s next?’ and ‘Should we sti ll be doing this?’ The traditions we have now were once new and probably controversial ideas…”

SIMPLE FACTS ABOUT RBC’s:

1-800-9WALKERwww.walker-process.com

Division of the McNish Corporation

1. The Walker Envirodischas the longestsuccessful operatinghistory of any RBCmanufactured today.

2. Surveys have indicatedthat the very vastmajority of RBCoperators are wellsatisfied with theRBC process at their facilities.

3. Regarding upgrades and expansions at facilities currently operatingRBC’s, staying with the RBC process can save from 40-60% of theoverall project cost.

4. At RBC facilities that performed upgrades and/or expansions thatwent with an alternate form of process, energy usage increased byas much as 50%.

5. Every unit process at a facility requires maintenance. Whenproperly maintained, those unit processes - including RBC’s,mechanical concerns are minimized or eliminated.
