About this Document
This operating manual contains information about the MICRODYN BIO-CEL
®
XS-1 pilot plant.
The plant is constructed for mobile applications at changing locations. The following chapters
comprise descriptions of the general plant design and the test area as well as important operating
information and safety instructions.
The suitability of the BIO-CEL modules installed in this plant for a special application depends on
the quality of the medium to be filtered, the applied biology and its quality. The suitability also
depends on keeping the directives for the process technology. In general, the BIO-CEL
instruction manual must be considered for the operation of BIO-CEL modules.
All information in this manual corresponds to the actual knowledge of MICRODYN-NADIR. It
should provide an overview of the most important data that are needed to operate the pilot plant.
Please make sure that you always use the up-to-date version of this manual.
MICRODYN-NADIR reserves the right to update data due to new developments. The data given
in this manual cannot be taken to claim warranties. MICRODYN-NADIR does not give guarantees
for the performance or life time of the product used in the pilot plant.
MICRODYN-NADIR refuses responsibility for any defects occurring directly and indirectly with
objects or persons if these defects are attributed to improper handling or to not complying with
safety and operating conditions as mentioned in this manual respectively.
The system is property of MICRODYN-NADIR. Improper handling can result in defects of parts
of the plant or the membrane module. Please check the system and the modules regularly by
appropriate tests and measuring. If the filtrate quality worsens, this may be due to several
reasons. Please insure just at the time of start-up that suitable measuring devices for the
detection and prevention of possible defects are available.
Warranty claims are refused for any defects due to improper handling of the modules (see BIO-
CEL manual) or to disregarding the operating parameters given in this operating manual or the
module data sheet.
The leaser takes care of the correct return of the system to MICRODYN-NADIR. At the time of
delivery, the pilot plant is cleaned, and it must be returned also clean. If the plant is not cleaned
before return, all the costs for cleaning will have to be paid by the leaser.
All the components inside the system must be fastened before the transport to prevent sliding or
falling. (Further instructions for the transport see chapter 0.)
Any defects at the pilot plant must be reported to MICRODYN-NADIR immediately. If defects are
not reported, and therefore further defects occur, the emerging costs must be paid by the leaser.
In the case of failure or operation disruption please immediately inform your contact partner or
MICRODYN-NADIR.
