Pressurised Thermophysical deaerator with operator manual for the control unit
1.11 Protective clothing
Consider whether you and/or others need protective clothing to protect against hazards, such as
chemicals, high/low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects and eyes and face hazards.
1.12 Work permit
All work must be carried out or supervised by a qualified person. Installation and operating personnel
must be trained in the correct use of the product according to the Maintenance and Installation
Instructions. Any formal "work permit" system in force must be updated. Where no such system
exists, it is recommended to inform a manager about the progress of the work and, where necessary,
an assistant primarily responsible for safety should be appointed. Where necessary, put up a
"warning" sign.
1.13 Handling
Manual handling of large and/or heavy products may pose a risk of injury. Lifting, pushing, pulling,
carrying or supporting a load using physical strength may cause injury, particularly back injuries.
Please assess the risks by taking into account the task, the individual, the load and the working
environment and use the appropriate handling method according to the circumstances of the work
to be carried out.
Note: where lifting straps are needed, they should be placed around the base plate to prevent
damage to the unit.
1.14 Freezing
Care must be taken to protect from freezing damage the products that are not self-draining in
environments where they may be exposed to temperatures below freezing.
1.15 Disposal
Since the product may contain PTFE and Viton, special precautions should be taken to avoid
potential health hazards associated with decomposition or combustion of said materials. Unless
otherwise stated in the Installation and Maintenance Instructions with regard to the materials used
for the seals, this product may be recycled and it is considered that its disposal poses no ecological
risk, provided that appropriate precautions are taken. However, it is possible to individually check
its components to ensure that they can be safely disposed of.
PTFE
-
This material can only be disposed of with approved systems, never in incinerators.
-
Waste from the disposal of PTFE should be stored in separate containers, never mixed with
other waste materials and must be sent directly to landfill.
Viton
-
VITON waste can be sent to landfill when such disposal is provided for and accepted by local
and national regulations.
-
VITON components can also be incinerated, but a scrubber (washing tower) must be used first
to remove the hydrogen fluoride developed by the product; this procedure must be carried out
in accordance with local and national regulations.
-
The components are not hydrosoluble.
