SECTION 4: STARTUP INSTRUCTIONS
See the pump IO&M Manual for pump startup and operating instructions.
Before starting the Rotamix™ system, check all piping connections to be sure they are tight and are not
stressing up the pump or other equipment. Proper piping alignment and support is critically important to
good equipment life. Also, as discussed above, venting all air from the system at initial and all startups
is critical to allowing the mixing system to work to its normal capacity. Poor gas venting can often result
in poor mixing or no mixing at allSee the pump IO&M Manual for pump startup and operating
instructions.
Vaughan Co. requires the Startup & Certification Checklist pages, with the job
–specific Vaughan
Rotamix tank drawing marked up with nozzle locations, nozzle angles, nozzle elevations, and
confirmation of all bolt torques, to be sent to Vaughan Engineering. If the job-specific tank drawing is
not available please contact Vaughan Engineering prior to performing Start-Up to have the correct
drawing supplied.
STEP 5
The plumb bob will hang directly over the
protractor scale. Rotate the upper nozzle until the
bob hangs over the degree mark specified for the
upper nozzles on your nozzle location plan view
drawing.
Tighten all clamps, remove the plumb bob and
the protractor, and the job is complete.
