Filter Operation and Maintenance Manual
Fig.7 Sediment is removed from the sump with a vactor hose. Man entry is not required for this step.
Routine Maintenance
Maintenance activities are grouped into two categories:
•
Activities Not Requiring Man Entry Into the Up-Flo
®
Filter
These activities include floatables removal, oil removal and
removal of sediment from the sump.
•
Activities Requiring Man Entry Into the Up-Flo
®
Filter
Media Pack replacement and Drain Down Filter replacement.
Maintenance intervals are determined from monitoring the Up-Flo
®
Filter during its first year of operation. Depending on the site, some
maintenance activities may have to be performed on a more frequent
basis than others. In the case of floatables removal, a vactor truck
is not required. Floatables and loose debris can be netted with a
skimmer and pole.
A vactor truck is normally required for oil removal, removal of sedi-
ment from the sump, and to dewater the vessel for replacement of
the Media Packs and Drain Down Filter (Fig.7). All inspection and
maintenance activities would be recorded in an Inspection and Main-
tenance Log.
Completion of all the maintenance activities for a typical 4-ft (1.2m)
diameter manhole installation takes less than one hour. Approxi-
mately 360 gallons of water and up to 0.6 yd
3
(0.5 m
3
) of sediment
may be removed in the process. In an installation equipped with
six Filter Modules, 12 Media Bags (2 bags per module) would be
removed and replaced. Assuming a spent Media Bag weight of 50
lbs (23 kg), up to 600 lbs (272 kg) of spent Media Bags would be
removed. All consumables, including Media Bags, Flow Distribution
Media, and replacement Drain Down Filters are supplied by Hydro
International.
The access port located at the top of the manhole provides unob-
structed access for a vactor hose and/or skimmer pole to be lowered
to the base of the sump.
