The estimated amount of polymer removed from the pipeline was 5m .
This estimate includes polymer removed from cut-outs, separators, and filter
bags. All of these held polymer in different forms, some loose, some com-
pacted, making an accurate volume estimate difficult. The amount of polymer
removed supports the estimates generated from roughness calculations prior
to the cleaning. AGEC will continue to monitor polymer build-up using
