               Eurobadalla council, a shire located some 400 km s south west of
               Sydney trialed N IS Tungsten

               Disulphide spherical particles (IF-W S2) at an 8% concentration in
               gear oil on two aerator units at one of their five water treatment
               plants. The water plant dreads 9.5 million liters off fluent per day
               servicing the tow ns in Eurobadalla shire. There are 25 aerators on
               these  plants  and  all25  units  are  now  operating  using  gear  oil
               containing 8% IF-W S2. Each aerator holds about 30 liters of gear    Environment
