1.2 Packaging and Shipping, Receiving and Inspection, Handling
and Storage
1.2.1 Packaging and Shipping:
Unless otherwise defined in the
purchase order and agreed by AAF, the PORTA-Scrubber and
filters are packaged for domestic transit and shipped FOB the
AAF factory. The method of shipment will be as specified in the
customer’s purchase order to AAF.
1.2.2 Receiving and Inspection:
Obtain a copy of the
purchase order and product drawing that was submitted by AAF
in association with the order, and a copy of the bill of lading, along
with any other shipping papers. Upon receipt of the equipment, or
any part thereof, these documents shall be used to ensure that the
correct product has been received.
For maximum protection, complete the following steps upon receipt
of the PORTA-Scrubber and chemical media:
• Inspect the shipment and all associated documentation. Notify
the carrier immediately if there is any visible damage to the
packaging or the equipment, or a discrepancy in the shipping
papers. If necessary, file an immediate claim with the carrier
against such damage or discrepancy.
• Confirm that the equipment received agrees with the contents
of the shipping papers.
• Confirm that the shipping documents agree with the purchase
order. Refer to the product drawing submitted for the order
as necessary.
• If it is determined that any equipment ordered on the
purchase order has not been delivered and is not accounted
for in the shipping papers, contact AAF immediately by calling
1-800-223-2003. Reference the AAF control number which will
be listed on the shipping papers.
Each shipment may include:
• One or more individually packaged PORTA-Scrubbers.
• PolyKlean Blue filter pad.
• Packaged chemical filtration media.
Note that the PORTA-Scrubber, PolyKlean Blue filter, and gas
phase media may ship from different locations and be received at
different times.
1.2.3 Handling and Storage:
Following receipt, inspection,
and acceptance of the equipment, and prior to installation, the
PORTA-Scrubber, the particulate filters, and chemical media
shall be handled with great care. The PORTA-Scrubber ships
mounted on a pallet for protection during shipping and handling.
It is recommended that it remain on its pallet until it has been
moved to its final installation location. PORTA-Scrubbers may
be moved using a fork-lift.
WARNING: The tank cover top will not support the weight of the
unit. Any attempt to lift the PORTA-Scrubber from the cover may
result in serious equipment damage and severe personal injury.
Do not walk on the top of the unit or use the top for storage
of materials.
The components shall be retained and stored in their protective
packaging until immediately prior to installation. Care shall be taken
to ensure that the packages are not dropped or subjected to any
impact loads.
At all times the equipment shall be protected from exposure to
weather. The equipment shall be stored in a clean, dry, temperature
controlled environment. All items shall be stored on pallets so that
they are elevated above grade. Particulate filters and chemical
filtration media shall not be stacked more than three (3) cartons
high to prevent crushing. The gas phase media ships inside a
carton enclosed in transparent protective plastic. Under no
circumstances shall the filters be removed from this plastic
protection until immediately prior to installation.
Filter products shall not be stored in areas where they may become
contaminated by any chemicals, including acids or alkali’s, in liquid,
vapor, or gaseous form.
1.3 Product Descriptions
1.3.1 PORTA-Scrubber:
Each PORTA-Scrubber when received
shall be individually mounted on a shipping pallet and wrapped in
plastic for protection during shipping. During use, contaminated air
enters the bottom of the tank and travels up past a particulate filter
and through the chemical media before being discharged from the
top of the unit. The PORTA-Scrubber can be supplied in two airflow
sizes, 200 and 500 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and in two models,
powered and non-powered. Depending on application, different
types of SAAF chemical filtration media can be installed (see 1.3.2
for details).
