“I understand that we are not precluded from using Rydlyme as part of the maintenance effort of the power plants,” he said.
Lt. Gov. Timothy P. Villagomez was indicted with his sister Joaquina Villagomez Santos, her husband former Commerce Secretary James Santos and former CUC Executive Director Anthony Guerrero for the questionable procurement of Rydlyme.
Muna, was recently on Rota to assess of the island’s power situation.
He said CUC intends to bring 1,485 gallons of the chemical Rydlyme on Rota to Saipan.
The chemical, he said, will help increase the efficiency of the generating engines of the power plants, and “from there we can realize cost savings.”
Rydlyme dissolves water scale deposits in an engine’s cooling system passages.
Muna said they can use Rydlyme on one of the three engines of Power Plant 1.
Only two engines at the plant are working.
Muna said since the Aggreko generators came online they have already considered treating the Power Plant 1 engines with Rydlyme.
