Installation & Operation; Before You Begin; Installation - Welker OdorEyes ECOsystem Pulse Bypass System Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

2.1 Before You Begin

After unpacking the unit, check the equipment for compliance and any damage that may have occurred during shipment.
Immediately contact a Welker representative if you received damaged equipment.
When sealing fittings with PTFE tape, refer to the proper sealing instructions for the brand used.
The ECOsystem™ will ship skid-mounted and "hard-tube" connected with manufacturer-supplied fittings and hardware. However,
the customer will need to supply some tubing and fittings in order to complete the installation of the system.
The ECOsystem™ must be installed in a section of the natural gas pipeline with a regulated pressure drop, such as a regulator station
or gate station.
All electrical connections must meet local and national electric codes, and excessive weight added to the conduit run must be
supported.

2.2 Installation

System Skid
1. Mount the skid to a flat, level surface, such as a concrete slab.
2. Connect a grounding wire to each grounding lug on the skid to safely ground the system.
3. Connect the skid drain port(s) to an appropriate draining location.
System Connections
4. Using appropriately sized customer-supplied tubing, connect from the outlet of the pipeline upstream of the regulated
pressure drop to the inlet of the Welker F-5 Filter Dryer (Figure 10).
Tubing must have a minimum diameter of ³ ".
5. Connect from odorized gas outlet valve K2 to an unused valve on the natural gas pipeline downstream of the regulated
pressure drop (Figure 1 or Figure 2).
Welker recommends using stainless steel tubing for all natural gas process lines, as plastic tubing can absorb odorant from the gas.
6. Ensure that all valves on the system are closed.
7. Ensure that all fittings, connections, and bolts are tightened.
