Start-up Procedures

During the first start-up or start-up after a long period of inactivity or following maintenance, the technician
must comply with the instructions below. The start-up must be performed by qualified personnel only.
The employee that operates the machine must wear hearing and eye protection before operating the dryer.
Each employee must select a proper personal protection equipment and device (PPE & PPD) hearing
protector such as earmuffs, ear canal caps or earplugs in order to prevent permanent hearing damage or
loss.
Start-up Sequence
+
Please read and understand the entire manual before operating the carbon tower
+
Verify that all the steps of in the previous chapters relating to installation have been observed
+
Verify that the connection to the compressed air system is correct
+
Remove any packaging and other material that might obstruct the area around the carbon tower
Before bringing pressure to the activated carbon tower, your compressor should be running, your compressed air system
pressurized and the carbon tower bypassed and not yet pressurized. With the dryer bypassed and in isolation (see page
14).
1. SLOWLY open the inlet isolation valve allowing compressed air into the carbon tower. It is critical that
the carbon tower be pressurized slowly to prevent damage to the activated carbon bed. Keep the outlet
isolation valve closed at this time.
2. SLOWLY open the outlet isolation valve. All valves are now in their open positions and compressed air is
flowing through the carbon tower and downstream.
3. Close the carbon tower bypass valve. The bypass valve must be bubble tight to prevent any oil vapor
from contaminating the dry air outlet from the dryer.
4. Check all piping for compressed air leaks.
5.2. ISOLATION AND SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES
Users operating the machine must wear hearing and eye protection. Each employee must select a proper
personal protection device (PPD) hearing protector such as earmuffs, ear canal caps or earplugs in order to
prevent permanent hearing damage or loss.
Isolation
1. Open the bypass valve.
2. Close the outlet isolation valve.
3. Close the inlet isolation valve.
Depressurization and Shut Down
1. Open the bypass valve.
2. Close the outlet isolation valve.
3. Close the inlet isolation valve.
4. Open the manual ball valves on any filters with manual ball valves to allow full depressurization. Also,
leave manual ball valves on filter open during maintenance and service.
IMPORTANT! Always remove all pressure and disconnect all power before servicing the carbon tower.
To bring the carbon tower back in use, follow the start-up procedure in Section 5.1: Start Up
