Purpose

To display real-time operational data from chemical pumping systems, allowing technicians to monitor pressure, flow rates, and system integrity through visible gauge readouts.

Significance

These indicators serve as the triggering evidence in Elgin’s discovery of Fell’s illegal waste diversion. Their erratic readings expose the discrepancy between stated operations and concealed environmental damage, making them the physical manifestation of falsified records that threaten the mining community.
