INTENDED USE
The
PROTEC Model PRO-8-1000-EP Pressure Vessel
is
designed for continuous use as a housing for membrane filtration
elements to purify typical seawater at any positive pressure up to
1000 PSI. The
PRO-8-1000-EP
will accommodate any make of
eight-inch nominal diameter spiral-wound element as well as
many hollow fiber elements. The element interface hardware for
the specified element is supplied with the vessel.
The Model
PRO-8-1000-EP
has been designed to meet the
standards of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME), Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section X. At an
additional cost, vessels can be inspected during fabrication by an
ASME Authorized Inspector and Code stamped.
The Model
PRO
-
8-1000-EP
must be installed, operated and
maintained using good industrial practice and following the
precautions listed in order to help assure safe operation and a
long service life. Misuse, improper installation or operation may
result in severe bodily harm or property damage and will void the
vessel warranty. Therefore, review and follow the safeguards
listed below
before
placing the vessels into service.
The filament-wound reinforced plastic shell of this vessel must
be allowed to expand under pressure. Any undue restraint at the
support points or piping connections can cause non-repairable
leaks to develop in the shell. This vessel must not be subjected
to excessive stress caused by bending moments acting at the
side ports in the fiberglass shell.
The end closures of the vessel must be kept dry and free of
corrosion at all times. Failure to do so may result in deterioration
that can lead to catastrophic failure of the vessel heads.
When requested, Bekaert Progressive Composites will assist the
purchaser in determining the suitability of this standard vessel
design for their operating environment. However, the final
determination including the evaluation of the materials of
construction for use in the specific corrosive environment shall
be the responsibility of the purchaser. Alternate materials of
construction may be available on special order.
Before using this engineering packet for system design or vessel
installation, please verify that it is the latest revision by consulting
the factory. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
PRECAUTIONS
Follow all instructions
.
Failure to take every precaution listed will void the vessel
warranty and may result in vessel failure.
Mount shell using furnished hardware.
Following the recommended span(s), mount the vessel on
saddles provided. Tighten straps to one ft-lb maximum.
Use flexible type groove-end pipe couplings
.
Use Victaulic™ style 77 or equal couplings at each port and
allow a gap between each port /manifold connection as
specified by coupling manufacturer.
Maximize the connection flexibility
.
Position the vessel and the piping so that the vessel can grow
in length and diameter under pressure without any undue
restraint.
∆
DIA = 0.014 in. (0.4mm) and
∆
L = 0.25 in. (6mm)
for a length code –7 vessel.
Provide overpressure protection
.
Set the safety device at not more than 105% design pressure.
Inspect end closures regularly
.
Replace damaged or deteriorated components and correct the
cause of any corrosion.
Relieve system pressure before working on the vessel
.
Working on vessels that are under pressure may result in
bodily harm and/or property damage.
Never support other components with the vessel
.
Hanging piping manifolds or supporting other components with
the vessel may result in vessel damage.
Do not over tighten the Permeate Port connection
.
Tightening the connection more than one turn past hand tight
will damage the port.
Ensure that the Thrust Ring is installed downstream
.
Operating without a thrust ring may cause membrane damage.
Double check end closure installation
Ensure that retaining ring is in place and fully seated.
Never operate the vessel in excess of its ratings
.
This practice will void the vessel warranty, shorten vessel life
and could lead to bodily harm or property damage.
Do not operate the vessel permeate port over 125 psi
.
Permeate pressure in excess of 125 psi must be approved by
the factory prior to operation.
Some components in the vessel are not compatible with
hydrocarbons. Contact factory for alternate material options
Flush the vessel before system shut down
.
Some feed waters may cause corrosion under static
conditions. Flushing with non-corrosive permeate is
recommended.
Operate the vessel within the recommended pH range
.
The vessel is designed for continuous use at a pH of 3-11 and
for intermittent cleaning (less than 30 min. at a pH of 2-12).
*Please inform the factory when continuous operating temperature is less than 45
