•
Read, understand and follow every part of this section. Failure to take every precaution may
void warranty and could result in explosive head failure.
•
Install in an area where water leakage resulting from a vessel or piping malfunction would not
damage sensitive equipment, such as electronic components.
•
Install protective covering over equipment located below pressure vessels when performing
maintenance.
•
Verify that head locking components are properly placed and secured.
•
Inspect end closures regularly, replace deteriorated components and correct causes of
corrosion.
•
Follow membrane element manufacturer's recommendations for loading elements into vessel
(see Replacing Elements on page no. 13).
•
The vessel is designed for continuous use at a pH of 3-11 and for intermittent cleaning (max.
43.2 hours per year at a pH of 2-12).
•
Flush the vessel before system shut down. Some feed waters may cause corrosion under
static conditions. Flushing with noncorrosive permeate is recommended.
•
Operate the vessel outside the recommended operating and cleaning pH range.
•
Operate vessel at pressures in excess of their specific rating.
•
Service any component until you verify that pressure if fully relieved from the vessel.
•
Use corroded components. Use of such components may result in catastrophic failure.
•
Pressurize vessel until after visually inspecting to ensure that both locking segments are
correctly installed and seated in their grooves.
•
Tolerate leaks or allow end closures to be wetted in any way.
•
Allow petroleum or silicone-based products to come in contact with membrane elements during
installation or maintenance.
•
Use petroleum products on Noryl components.
•
Pressurize vessel without element in place, unless permeate ports are plugged properly.
•
Over-tighten fittings in ports.
•
Stand or climb on the pressure vessels or the feed / concentrate or permeate ports.
•
Allow force to be applied laterally to feed/concentrate or permeate ports.
•
Use the vessel at negative pressure
•
Pressurize vessel with Compressed Air.
