11.5.2. Water Separator With Safety Separator (Optional Equipment)

Perform maintenance work on the water separator only when the still has cooled off.
Dispose of the process water according to the regulations in your country.
You must clean the water separator routinely (and always after the distillation system has boiled
over). The unit does this automatically with a fixed maintenance program P54 or as an integrated
part of the so-called multi-maintenance program P49.
Start one of the maintenance programs listed above weekly.
You can run another program at the same time as the maintenance program.
Sequence of the maintenance program:
Step 1: * The water phase drains from the safety separator into the tank provided (8).
Step 2: The water phase drains from the water separator into the safety separator or tank (13).
Step 3: * The water phase drains from the safety separator into the tank provided (8).
Step 4: The water separator empties into the distillation system (11) with the solvent pump.
Step 5: The water separator is rinsed with solvent from the clean tank (7).
Step 6: The water separator empties into the distillation system (11) with the solvent pump.
Step 7: Produce the receiver in the water separator.
* These steps are deleted if there is no safety separator
After the maintenance has completed, the horn sounds and the program ends. The cycle counter is
reset to 0.
General function at the end of a cleaning cycle:
If the sensor (6) reports the level, the water phase from the safety separator is drained into the
process water tank when the loading door is opened and additionally, upon start of the next cycle.
Over time, perc also slowly accumulates in the safety separator. You can pump this into the
distillation system from time to time by opening the yellow manual ball valve (12) briefly when the
system is pumping to the distillation system.
The safety separator is not rinsed! You can clean it through the sight-glass opening when needed.
Semi-automatic water separator:
If the machine is equipped with a semi-automatic water separator, the valves 13, 11, and 7 are to be
operated manually.
Upon start of the maintenance program P54 you are lead through the program by various notes.
With the multi-maintenance program P49 there is no rinsing of the water separator integrated!
Attention: If during maintenance work the water phase in the separator was not completely
developped, the solvent runs sinto the second separator.
