6.1 Initial start-up and flushing
It is recommended to disconnect all connec-
tions to the MPE 70 and to thoroughly flush
the piping before the MPE 70 is connected
to the inlet and outlet connections.
Prior to the initial start-up, all piping
associated with the MPE 70 unit should be
thoroughly flushed to assure that no
impurities enter the MPE 70. Inadequate
pre-flushing will strongly affect the life
of the MPE 70 and may lead to its eventual
breakdown.
It is essential that the water used for
the final pre-flush is pre-filtered to a
level described in chapter 6.8.

Strainers do not eliminate the need for
thoroughly pipe flushing before commis-

For more information on the importance
of proper filtration, please consult our
publication data sheet, "Filter solutions for
high-pressure pumps and ERDs", which also
will provide you with an explanation of filtra-
tion definitions and guidance on
how to select the right filter.
