Additional Unit
The Additional Unit is standard supplied with all its sub-parts as loose, but on request it can be supplied in a common skid
(with all its components already connected each other) or in any other customizable configurations.
8.6.4.1
Installing ECOFLOC dosing system
The base frame of the ECOFLOC Dosing System must be fixed on a stable horizontal plane, using the proper bolts (refer to
attached G.A. Drawings). After this, check that the liquid inside the tank is enough to ensure the correct operation of the system.
Verify that the injector is correctly installed on the treatment tank and connected to the dosing pump. If all the electric and
hydraulic connections are made (refer to attached Flow and P&ID Diagrams and to attached Electric Connections Diagrams),
it is possible to start the dosing pump. Be sure that pump fill the pipe. If the pipe is long and completely empty this should
require some minutes.
8.6.4.1.1
Transfer of ECOFLOC solution
Before running the dosing system, it necessary to fill the dosing system tank with an ECOFLOC solution at 20%.
Proceed with caution using gloves and protecting glasses in order to avoid direct contact with the corrosive chemical
(refer to ECOFLOC Safety Data Sheet).
To fill the tank, perform the following procedure:
•
Prepare the hand operated diaphragm pump.
•
Prepare a can with a solution of fresh water and ECOFLOC at 20% (for example, you have to add 2 litres of ECOFOLC
every 8 litres of fresh water you use to prepare the solution).
•
Unscrew the caps both of the system’s disinfecting liquid tank and of the can with a solution of ECOFLOC at 20%.
•
Close the drain cock of the diaphragm pump.
•
Submerge the other end of the pump in the can containing disinfectant liquid to be transferred.
•
Pump until the circuit of the diaphragm pump will be filled with disinfectant liquid (refer to the figures below).
•
Place the cock on the filling hole of the system’s disinfecting liquid tank and open the cock. It is recommended to transfer
about half of the disinfecting liquid contained in the can.
•
Once the transfer is completed, close the cock, lift it vertically and open it again to empty the drainage pump (see figure
below).
