Static Control
To reduce the possibility of static electricity sparks, antistatic mats can be placed around
extraction and distillation equipment. Equipment will be grounded using grounding straps
provided and shall conform to NEC/NFPA guidelines to help prevent static electricity and
discharges.
Placement and Types of Electrical Equipment
When possible, locate all electrical outlets, switches, light fixtures, electric appliances and
equipment outside the extraction equipment area. All devices should be wired according to
NEC & local AHJ.
Use low voltage circuits inside the containment area to help prevent sparks from high
voltage devices.
Gas Detection and Monitoring
Since the proposed extraction process utilizes alcohol for solvent extraction, presence of
alcohol vapor will be monitored in the work area. Monitoring systems will provide readout
and/or a signal that indicates that dangerous levels of flammable vapor have been reached.
An additional fixed monitor will be placed in the inlet of the exhaust air fan to monitor
alcohol vapor evacuation. Gas detection devices will be calibrated on a weekly interval.
Preparing the CUP 15 for Operation
The CUP arrives factory-tested and inspected for liquid leaks and manufacturing flaws.
However, shipping and/or frequent moving of the system can loosen components. It is the
operator's responsibility to check for leaks and damage prior to operation. It is advised to
perform a ‘liquid run’ check with alcohol (no material) in order to clean the system while
inspecting for leaks.
CAUTION
Operator must learn and become familiar with all procedural
operations and liquid transfer mechanics prior to use (e.g., system
flow diagram, plumbing schematic, liquid transfer operations, and/or
pneumatic pump assembly).
Safety Check Prior to Operation
Before using the system, perform the following system inspection.
1. Open the lid and visually inspect the system, basket assembly and lid seal for
cleanliness and wear and tear. Check the inner basket bolts with a torque wrench using
25 foot-pounds.
2. Confirm the main system panel is plugged into a correctly rated 230V / 30 amp
receptacle NEMA L6-30R 250V.
3. Make sure the grounding straps have been installed correctly and electrically tested
using a technician’s meter.
4. Check for any blockages within the hoses, quick-connect fittings, inlet valves, and drain
assembly.
5. Inspect all tanks, fittings and seals for damage or leaks.
