8.  PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 

 

 

Please  note  that  the  periodic  maintenance  of  the  air  valve  is  an  integral  part  of  the  proper  pipeline  maintenance 
regime; it should be maintained at least once a year in accordance with the quality and composition of the fluid in the 
system.   
 

Important:

 Before performing any work on the air valve make sure that all workers on site are familiar with the safety 

instructions as appear in Chapter 1 of this document and with all the relevant local and general safety instructions, 
standards and work regulations.  
 

Please note

 that maintaining the D-025 ARISENSE product consists of two separated procedures: Maintaining the Air 

Valve Component and maintaining the Arisense component. 
 

 
8.1. Releasing Pressure 

 

 

Shut the isolating valve located on the riser under the air valve 

 

Open the Ball Valve to release pressure and drain the air valve [1] 

 

Important: Discard liquid in compliance with local regulations
