Infrastructure

On-site capital facilities, utilities and services include:

Electricity:

• Transmitted to the site via a 38,000 volt line
• Two transformers with a design capacity of 7,500 KVA each
• Only one unit is required to operate, the other serves as a backup
• From this substation electrical power is distributed at 4160V or 480V to other areas

Well Water:

• There are two wells that serve the site
• Deep artesian well is the primary source of water from an aquifer approximately 1,800 feet below ground, a shallow well with a depth of 460 feet is used as a backup
• High-quality water is ideal for bottling and for food and beverage processing water extraction permits for 100,000 gals/day
• 22,000 gallons potable water tank

Fire Protection:

• The fire protection system consists of two (2) storage tanks with a capacity of 500,000 gallons each
• The water is pumped to site fire hydrants and to automatic sprinkler riser (ASR) systems located within the site by three (3) centrifugal pumps with capacity of 2,500 GPM each, at 160 psig
• Each pump is driven by a diesel engine manufactured by Cummings. Each pump is mounted in a fire pump house
• Pressure in the system is maintained by an electrically operated jockey pump

Storm Water Management:

• A 1.5 million gallon concrete lined storm water basin is located at the rear of the property
• The basin collects storm water from various locations and is permitted to inject collected water underground
• This improvement allows for maximum impervious surface coverage without any risk of site flooding in the heaviest of rain storm

Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP):

• Fully functional large scale waste water treatment plant is located on site
• The collection system consists of:
  • (1) one Equalization Tank of 350,000 gal.
  • (2) Sequencing Batch Reactors of 750,000 gal. each,
  • (1) one Digester of 328,000 gal.
  • (1) one filter press of 50 GPM capacity.
    
• When it was operated by a Pharma industry, waste from both Drug Substance and Drug Product Areas were pretreated and
  sampled prior to discharge to the Barceloneta Regional Plant.
