The SERFILCO® Amalgam Filter removes greater than 95% of the mercury particulate from the water stream of a vacuum dental system. A compact and economical filter developed to meet the needs of the metropolitan dental practice where space is at a premium, the SERFILCO® Amalgam Filter is installed on the inlet line of the vacuum pump in the same location as the trap, and fits in a cabinet under a standard size sink.
Members of the dental community should ensure that minimal amounts of mercury containing wastes are released to the environment through common waste streams (sewage system, biomedical waste or regular garbage).
Although there is little distinction between contact and noncontact amalgam within a dental practice, some waste carriers require the separation of scrap amalgam into contact and non-contact amalgam.
Check with the waste carrier to ascertain their requirements.

Benefits:
Growing environmental concern over the accumulation of mercury in some fish has led state and local environmental agencies to pursue stricter regulation of mercury in wastewater. Dental offices are an identifiable source of mercury in the form of dental amalgam.
Consequently environmental agencies in some locales are asking dental offices to install amalgam separators in an effort to reduce amalgam discharges beyond those already achieved through chairside traps and vacuum
filters.
