For Safe Use
Do not mix sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and acid under any circumstances. Doing so
releases chlorine gas, which is very dangerous. Be sure to take this into account when
designing the system.
As the modules are very heavy, when using forklifts and cranes make sure that all
apparatus is inspected and certified, and all operators are certified.
CAUTION
Conduct regular inspections and maintenance of the products.
Move modules with care to prevent them from bumping into pipes or other equipment.
When attaching lifting chains or wire ropes to modules, ensure that they are kept taut so
they do not touch the modules.
If the chain or rope touches the upper part of modules, elements will become worn or damaged
due to oscillation caused by aeration.
Use elements with due care to prevent tools, pipes, or other machines from touching the
membrane.
Do not perform construction work that may damage modules, especially membranes, near
the products. Exposure to fire is strictly prohibited.
Sparks from welding or sanding will damage membranes.
Store and transport elements and modules within a temperature range of 5 to 40°C, avoid
direct sunlight, and store them in a dry location.
If elements or modules freeze while they are wet the membrane will be damaged.
Do not treat wastewater which contains organic solvents and/or chemicals that can swell,
damage, or degrade the products.
It causes deformation, damage and malfunction.
Dispose of elements and modules as industrial waste in accordance with laws and local
ordinances.
If there is a danger of chemical leaks that may damage nearby equipment and cause
environmental pollution, be sure to take all necessary measures to prevent chemicals from
splashing or spilling.
