The treatment facilities had recurring problems with lime‐slaker feed belts being destroyed by the heat generated during slaking. When the ventilating jet‐spray system malfunctioned or when the unit shut down, steam would rise to the lime feed belt. The chemical reaction of the steam with the lime on the belt would cause the belt to burn. To correct the problem, a direct‐drive upblast ventilator was installed outside the building. Materials and costs to install the ventilator are presented.
