k/IOM’s/Membrane Inst O&M Manual 2

I. INTRODUCTION This manual covers the basic requirements for the Aquarius Technologies Membrane Disc Fine Bubble Aeration Removable Grid.

- Receiving Delivery of Equipment - Site Storage - Inventory of Delivered Material - Installation - Start-up - Operation and Maintenance - General Precautions - Field Modifications or Changes

The general format and text of this Manual has not been edited for your specific project or specified requirements. Prior to delivery of the equipment, the installing contractor should review the complete content of this Manual as well as the Erection Drawings. II. RECEIVING DELIVERY OF EQUIPMENT Prior to equipment delivery, select a lay down area for on-site storage of material. The minimum requirements are that the lay down area provide a level, dry, secure location where sun, heat, rain, snow or heavy equipment are prevented from causing damage to the equipment. Shipment will generally be by way of flat bed trailer trucks. The contractor is required to provide adequate equipment and man power for off loading and setting of equipment. A fork truck will be required for off loading of palletized crates with estimated weight of 2000 lb. A crane may be required to off load beams. In certain conditions hand offloading may be required for loose items or smaller boxes or non-palletized piping. All equipment should be stored level and adequately blocked off grade. DO NOT cover PVC piping with tarps or plastic. This can cause elevated heat conditions which will damage the equipment, voiding the warranty. III. INVENTORY OF DELIVERED MATERIAL Included in this manual is a Shipping List of all components provided by Aquarius Technologies for the Membrane Disc Fine Bubble Aeration Removable Grid. Each delivery will include a packing list of all items with the delivery. Contractor is responsible to confirm that the items delivered are accounted for against the Shipping List, and report any missing or damaged items to the shipping carrier and Aquarius Technologies immediately.


IV. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY OF EQUIPMENT Prior to installation, the contractor should review the Erection Drawings included in this manual. The Erection Drawings can be identified by the sheet number located in the title block. The sheet number will begin with a capitol “E” followed by a number 1, 2, etc. If the drawings have a “S” series sheet number, Do not use them for installation of the equipment. Use only “E” series drawings for the installation of the equipment. All work must be performed by qualified Labor. Always follow all local, state and federal codes. Failure to follow local, state and federal safety standards may result in personal injury or equipment damage. Suggested Sequence of Installation

A. Frame Assembly B. PVC Headers C. PVC Manifold D. Flexible Dropleg Connection E. Lower PVC/Stn. Stl. Drop Pipe F. Upper Stainless Steel Drop Pipe G. Membrane Disc Diffuser Element

Prior to the start of installation, dirt and debris must be removed from the inside of the air main piping. The blowers can be used for this procedure. Follow the blower manufacturers’ operation requirements.

A. Removable Grid Frame Assembly

The removable grid will be shipped loose in multiple sections. It will be necessary to assemble all the frames on a flat and level section of ground so that the aeration piping to be mounted on top of the frame will match up. Review the erection drawings to identify which parts numbers are required to properly assemble each frame. The use of a crane may be required to place the members of the frame into the proper position. With the main beams placed on a flat level surface outside of the tank, square the beams and being fastening the angles to the beams. Once the angles are fastened to the beams, attach any additional components to the frame before the aeration is attached.


B. PVC Header PVC Headers are shipped bundled and strapped to a pallet. Remove any dirt and debris from inside the pipe that may have accumulated, prior to installation. Review the Erection Drawings to identify the PVC Header section(s) part number required for installation at the grid system being installed. The use of a crane may be required to place the Header section(s) in position at the bottom of the tank. PVC Headers are fabricated with a PVC Union Joint Assembly which will connect to the Manifold. - Review the Erection Drawings to assemble the guide supports - Using the All Thread rods provided for supporting the PVC headers,

fasten the all thread rods to the frame with the hardware provided. - Confirm that the support location(s) do not interfere with diffuser holders,

or Union Joint Assemblies located on the Header. C. PVC Manifold

PVC Manifolds are shipped bundled and strapped to a pallet. Remove any dirt and debris from inside the pipe that may have accumulated, prior to installation.

Review the Erection Drawings to identify the PVC Manifold section part number(s) required for installation at the grid system being installed.

PVC Manifolds are fabricated with a PVC tee with a 150 lb flange which will connect to the Lower Stainless Steel Drop Pipe.

- Stn. Stl. U-Bolts reference the field erection drawings for assembly

instructions. Place the manifold section on the tank floor, parallel with the chalk line and with the PVC fitting connection to the Drop Pipe indexed from datum point.

NOTE: Assemble the header section to the manifold header connection. Reference the Union Joint Assembly (UJA) document. Rotate the header section bring the diffuser holder to a level position. Hold the header section to maintain the diffuser holders in a level position and assemble the Union Joint Assembly.


D. Flexible Dropleg connection The flexible hose shipped for the project will be shipped in a bulk bundle. The contractor is responsible for field measuring and trimming the hose to length. Once the hose has been properly trimmed to length, reference the field erection drawings for the upper and lower drop leg part numbers. Slide the flexible hose onto both the upper and lower drop leg connections. Using the T-Bolt clamps, clamp the flexible hose to the drop leg as indicated on the field erection drawings.

E. Lower PVC/Stn. Stl. Drop Pipe The Lower PVC Drop Pipe is shipped with a 150lb PVC flange assembled. Attach the lower stn. stl. dropleg flange to the 150lb PVC flange.

F. Membrane Diffuser Element Installation

Membrane Disc Diffuser Elements are shipped in cardboard boxes, bundled and strapped to a pallet. Remove any dirt and debris from the surface of the diffuser holder that may have accumulated prior to installation of the membrane disc diffuser element. Visually inspect the center cavity of the diffuser holder and confirm the orifice is clear of obstruction. Review the Erection Drawings for locations of installed diffuser element / blank – orifice plug installation locations. Reference Membrane Diffuser Assembly documents MDA-90001-P and Orifice Plug Assembly PLG-TOOLX-S.

G. Upper Stainless Steel Drop Pipe Do not connect the upper stainless steel drop pipe to the airmain until the removable grid has been placed into the tank.


V. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

A. Operations Membrane Disc Diffusers are designed for continuous and/or intermittent submerged operation over a range of air flows. General Design Operating Air Flow Per Diffuser - Minimum (continuous or intermittent operation)

@ 0.5 scfm per diffuser

- Normal (continuous or intermittent operation) @ 1.0 – 2.0 scfm per diffuser

- Maximum (continuous or intermittent operation)

@ 4.0 scfm per diffuser

- Maximum (intermittent operation) @ 7.0 scfm per diffuser

• Operating diffusers below the Minimum air flow for extended period of time may result in solids settling as well as potential diffuser fouling.

• Operating diffusers in the Normal design air flow range will extend the life of the diffuser, as well as provide optimum efficiency.

• Operating diffusers at the Maximum air flow for extended periods of time

may result in reduced life of the diffuser as well as reduced efficiency. • Minimum accepted mixing air flow requirement for activated sludge

treatment is 0.12scfm per square foot of tank.

Diffuser Fouling

Diffuser fouling is the result of the waste water characteristics. The degree of fouling is dependant on the environment the diffusers are subjected during operation. Generally the diffuser is subjected to either air side or liquid side fouling. Air side fouling is the result from dirt or dust from the process air supply, rust particles from process air piping, construction debris or mixed liquor. Liquid side fouling is the result from biological growth, precipitate scaling, or physical / chemical interactions. Fouled diffusers will require increased process air to meet oxygen demands, resulting in increase pressure requirements, loss of oxygen transfer efficiency


and an increase in operating cost. For corrective action of fouled diffusers see the preventative maintenance section of this manual.

C. Preventative Maintenance Visual Inspection (Performed Daily) Visually inspect the air release pattern on the water surface of the aeration basin, which should be a gentle uniform air release pattern. Gross bubble release pattern may be an indication that an excess of foulant has accumulated on the surface of the diffuser.

Large boiling in an isolated area is an indication that a mechanical failure has occurred. See trouble shooting section for corrective action required. Air Bumping (Performed Weekly) Air Bumping is a practice that may separate or reduce matter that has formed on the surface of the diffuser which causes an increase of back pressure in the system. This is accomplished by temporarily increasing the air flow to the grid system. Air bumping is defined as doubling the airflow to the grid for 20 – 30 minutes. Moisture Purge Continuous moisture purge system consists of a diffuser mounted on the invert of the manifold. Entrapped moisture is continuously purged from the system. Moisture collects in the piping system due to condensation or tank liquid entering the piping system.

Purging of liquid is most effective at lower air flow rate. Reduced air flow results in lower air velocity, allowing liquid to drain to the purge system.

Too little air Increase air flow Diffuser fouling Clean diffusers High D.O. Too much air Rduce air flow Decrease number of diffusers in service

Yearly Maintenance and Diffuser Cleaning

1) Drain tank (procedure) a. Place the blower system in manual mode to override any

automatic D.O. / blower control system. b. Stop mixed liquor flow to tank.

c. Adjust air flow to 0.5 scfm per diffuser.

d. Drain liquid from tank.

CAUTION: If the air supply from the blowers feeds multiple aeration tanks, monitor the distribution of air to all tanks. As the liquid level is reduced in the tank being drained, adjustments to the air control valve will be required to maintain distribution of process air to the tanks remaining is service.

e. Turn the air completely off to the tank being drained when the liquid

level is approximately 2 feet covering the diffusers and piping system. Continue draining.

2) Remove excess settled solids from the tank. 3) Remove solids and foulant from the diffusers and piping system with low

pressure (80psi) hosing. Restore air flow to the grid at approximately 1 scfm to aid removal of foulant and repeat with a fresh water rinse and if necessary, a soft bristle brush on the surface of the diffuser.

4) Check hardware connections and tighten if required. 5) Confirm that the diffuser retainer rings are tight. 6) Confirm that blank diffuser holder locations are installed with an orifice plug. 7) Confirm all field assembled pipe joints both flanged and union are tight and

prevent excessive movement / rotation of the pipe system.


8) Confirm all submerged field assembled joints are leaks free and that hardware is tight.

9) Review the completed maintenance and confirm that no operational

conditions require consideration that may have been added since the original design that may cause damage to the aeration system. (IE: Addition of mechanical mixers, influent gates, baffle walls and openings that could cause excessive liquid velocity, etc.)

10) Review the Start up procedure to return the aeration system in service.

Note: Aquarius Technologies assumes no responsibility for damage / injury to either equipment or staff. Operation and care of the equipment and staff are the responsibility of the end user.

D. Storage of Aeration Equipment Storage of a Fine Bubble Aeration System is generally defined as taking an existing installation out of service due to reduced flow to the facility. This can be caused by seasonal demands on the plant. The purpose of the following options is to provide adequate protection of the piping system as well as the diffuser elements from environmental damage. These options are not intended as a requirement during initial installation of the system, although the installing contract is responsible to ensure the equipment remains in like new condition during the installation and startup phase of the project.

Storage of equipment can fall into either short term or long term. Short term is generally site specific and can be affected by weather conditions. For example, if your facility is subjected to extreme winter weather conditions such as freezing temperatures and heavy snow, your storage requirements will differ from a facility where the winter season is mild. Additionally, if your facility is subjected to extreme summer weather conditions such as long term elevated ambient temperatures; protection of the piping system from the effect of heat build up in the bottom of the tank that could damage the pipe may be required. Note about ultraviolet degradation: UV degradation is a slight discoloration of the surface of the PVC caused by long term exposure to sunlight and UV ray. The effect is a slight reduction in the tensile strength of the material and potential weakness of a solvent joint made after long term exposure has occurred.

The 4” PVC pipe, union joints, diffuser holders, retainer rings supplied by Aquarius Technologies is formulated with a minimum of 2% Titanium Dioxide for UV protection. Solvent welded connections are shop assembled. Membrane disc diffuser elements are formulated with carbon black for UV protection.


Do to the design and manufacturing requirements of the Aquarius Technologies piping system, no special action should be required to protect the system from exposure to sunlight and UV degradation for short term storage. Note about algae growth: Prolonged storage of the aeration system in stagnant water can cause algae growth in the tank and on the surfaces of the aeration system. Algae growth is detrimental to the performance of the diffusers. If algae growth occurs, the membrane diffuser should be cleaned prior to placing into service. See Preventative Maintenance section of the manual.

The options listed below are provided for the owner’s assistance to determine what storage procedures are best suited for your specific conditions. Ultimately, the owner assumes responsibility to determine and implement a storage procedure that protects the installation, as well as the need of the plant operation.


Option #1 – Aeration system is out of service, process air IS available. 1) Warm weather storage conditions.

a. Fill the tank with clean water to a minimum elevation 3 feet above the lower PVC drop pipe section to protect the PVC system from sunlight and UV rays.

b. Direct a small amount of process air (0.3 scfm/diffuser) to the submerged system to reduce the growth of algae, as well as protect the pipe from excessive heat.

c. Chlorinate the water to prevent the growth of algae as needed using 1 gallon of bleach per 10,000 gallons of liquid volume.

d. Monitor the system daily to determine if additional action is warranted.

2) Winter weather storage conditions.

a. Secure Styrofoam blocks around all vertical piping at an elevation that is both above and below the water surface noted above in 1.a. These blocks should prevent crushing of the pipe due to ice buildup.

b. Follow warm weather storage conditions steps 1.a.- d. as noted above.

c. By inspection, air flow may need to be increased to prevent ice formation at the water surface.

Option #2 – Aeration system is out of service, process air IS NOT available. 1) Warm weather storage conditions.

a. Fill the tank with clean water to a minimum elevation 3 feet above the lower PVC drop pipe section to protect the PVC system from sunlight and UV rays.

b. Chlorinate the water to prevent the growth of algae as needed using 1 gallon of bleach per 10,000 gallons of liquid volume.

c. Monitor the system daily to determine if additional action is warranted.

2) Winter weather storage conditions. a. Secure Styrofoam blocks around all vertical piping at an elevation

that is both above and below the water surface noted above in 1.a. These blocks should prevent crushing of the pipe due to ice buildup.

b. Follow warm weather storage conditions steps 2.1.a – c. as noted above.


CAUTION: Water will freeze in the tank and in the aeration piping system. Care should be taken not to allow draining of the aeration tank and allowing water to remain into the piping system during freezing conditions. Drain liquid water from the piping system by disassembling piping connections. Do not drain water from the tank if frozen ice is present as the settling ice will damage the piping system. E. Qualification Training

Personnel who operate and/or maintain the Aeration System must have the appropriate qualifications for the task. Personnel lacking the required skills and knowledge must receive appropriate training to enable them to safely operate the system. F. General Precautions

Any potentially hazardous machine parts must be approached with caution in order to prevent accidental injury to the operator.


Continuous Purge Installation:

1) Apply Teflon tape or putty to MPT of Flexcap Diffuser 2) Thread into bushing on invert of pipe. 3) Hands tighten. 4) Apply Teflon tape or putty to MPT of 3/4” pipe plug. 5) Thread into bushing on top of pipe. 6) Tighten with wrench.

SPECIFIED FOR ANCHORAGE INTO CONCRETE

Wedge anchors feature a type stainless steel split expansionring and a threaded stud bolt body and integral coneexpander, nut and washer. Anchor bodies are made of platedcarbon steel, hot-dipped galvanized carbon steel, type 304stainless steel or type 316 stainless steel as identified in thedrawings or other notations.

The exposed end of the anchor is stamped to identify anchorlength. Stampings should be preserved during installation for

any subsequent embedment verification.

Use carbide tipped hammer drill bits made in accordance to ANSI B212.15-1994 to install anchors.

Anchors are tested to ASTM E488 criteria and listed by ICC-ES. Anchors are listed by the following agencies as required by the local building code: UL, FM, City of Los Angeles, California State Fire Marshal and Caltrans.

1.0 SUBJECT

ITW Ramset/Red Head Self-Drilling, Trubolt Wedge, andMulti-Set II Concrete Anchors.

2.0 DESCRIPTION

2.1 ITW Ramset/Red Head Self-Drilling Anchor:

2.1.1 General: The ITW Ramset/Red Head anchor is a self-drilling concrete expansion shell anchor with a single cone ex-pander. Both elements are made from heat-treated steel. Thesteel for the body conforms to AISI C-12Ll 4, and the steel forthe plug conforms to AISI C-1010. The anchor has eight sharpteeth at one end and is threaded internally at the other end.The outer surface of the tubular shell at the toothed end hasannular broaching grooves and four milled slits. At itsthreaded end, the anchor is provided with an unthreadedchucking cone that has an annular break-off groove at itsbase for flush mounting. Anchor shell and expander cone areelectrodeposit zinc and chromate-plated.

2.1.2 Installation: Embedment, spacing, edge distance,and concrete requirements are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Theanchors are installed by a Model 747 Roto-Stop Hammer, byair or electric impact hammer, or by hand. The anchor is usedas a drill in forming the hole in normal-weight concrete. Afterthe hole is formed, the anchor must be removed and the holethoroughly cleaned. The hole depth is regulated by the drillchuck. A Red Head plug must be set into the bottom of the an-chor prior to insertion in the hole. The concrete anchor mustbe driven over the plug, to cause expansion of the anchor inthe hole. The chucking end of the anchor is broken off with ahammer blow. Verification that the anchor has been installedproperly is evidenced by the fact that the anchor does notproject above the surface of the concrete and the red plug isvisible at the bottom of the hole.

2.2 ITW Ramset/Red Head Trubolt Wedge Anchor:

2.2.1 General: The Trubolt Wedge anchor is a stud bolt typeof drop-in anchor. The anchors are cold-formed or machinedfrom zinc-plated and chromate-dipped carbon steel, hot-dipped galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel. Steel usedto produce the anchors complies with AISI C-1015 to AISIC-1022 and AISI C-1213 carbon steels, Type 304 or Type 316stainless steels. Hot-dipped galvanizing complies with ASTM153 Class C requirements. The expander sleeves are fabri-cated from stainless steel or carbon steel meeting the require-

ments of Type 302 or AISI C-1010, respectively. Cold-formedanchor studs are available only for the 1/4-inch-, 3/8-inch-,1/2-inch-, 5/8-inch- and 3/4-inch-diameter (6.4, 9.5, 12.7, 15.9and 19.1 mm) wedge anchors. The anchor stud is threadedat its upper end and has a straight cylindrical section reducedin diameter, around which the expander sleeve is formed. Astraight-tapered section enlarging to a cylindrical base acts toincrease the diameter of the expander ring as the stud is tight-ened in the concrete hold. The expander ring, which is formedaround the stud bolt, consists of a split-ring element with a“coined” groove at each end. The expander ring is designedto engage the walls of the concrete hold as the tapered portionof the stud is forced upward against its interior.

2.2.2 Installation: Embedment, spacing, edge distance,and concrete requirements are shown in Tables 3, 4, 5 and10. Holes must be predrilled in normal-weight or lightweightconcrete with carbide-tipped masonry drill bits manufacturedwithin the range of the maximum and minimum drill tip dimen-sions of ANSI B212.15-1994. The anchors must be installedin holes the same nominal size as the anchor size, with agreater depth than the length of embedment desired, but noless than the minimum embedment. The hole must becleaned out prior to installation of the anchor. The anchormust be tapped into the hole to the embedment depth desired,but no less than the minimum embedment. A standard hexag-onal nut and washer must be used over the material beingfastened and the nut tightened until the minimum installationtorque, as indicated in Tables 3 and 10, is reached.

2.3 ITW Ramset/Red Head Multi-Set II Anchor:

2.3.1 General: The Multi-Set anchors are designed to beinstalled in a predrilled hole equal to the anchor diameter. Theanchor consists of a shell formed from carbon steel meetingthe minimum requirements of AISI C-1213 and an expansionplug formed from carbon steel meeting the minimum require-ments of AISI C-1010. The expansion end is divided into fourequal segments by radial slots. The expansion plug is preas-sembled and is cylindrical in cross section.

2.3.2 Installation: Embedment, spacing, edge distance,and concrete requirements are shown in Tables 6, 7 and 9.Holes must be predrilled in normal-weight or lightweight con-crete with carbide-tipped masonry drill bits manufacturedwithin the range of the maximum and minimum drill tip dimen-sions of ANSI B212.15-1994. The anchors must be installedin predrilled holes, the hole depth and diameter for each an-chor size being listed in Tables 6, 7 and 9. After the hole isdrilled, it is cleared of all cuttings. The anchor is set by instal-ling the expansion shell and then driving the cone expanderwith a setting tool provided with each anchor size. When the

cone expander is driven down into the anchor, the legs of theshell expand.

2.4 Design:

Allowable static loads are as set forth in Tables 1, 3, 6, 9 and10. Allowable loads for anchors subjected to combined shearand tension forces are determined by the following equation:

(Ps�Pt)5�3 � (Vs�Vt)

5�3 � 1

where:

Ps = Applied service tension load.

Pt = Allowable service tension load.

Vs = Applied service shear load.

Vt = Allowable service shear load.The anchors cannot be subjected to vibratory loads.

Sources of such loads include, for example, reciprocating en-gines, crane loads and moving loads due to vehicles.

2.5 Special Inspection:

When special inspection is required, compliance with Section1701.5.2 of the code is necessary. The special inspector mustbe on the jobsite continuously during anchor installation toverify anchor type, anchor dimensions, concrete type, con-crete compressive strength, hole dimensions, anchor spac-ings, edge distances, slab thickness, anchor embedment andtightening torque.

2.6 Identification:

The concrete anchors are identified by their dimensionalcharacteristics, the anchor size, and by the length codestamped on the anchor. The conical-shaped expander plugsare colored red. See Figure 1 for additional details. Lengthcodes are in Table 8. Packages are identified with the anchortype and size, the manufacturer’s name and address, and thename of the quality control agency, PFS Corporation.

For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 psi = 6.89 kPa, 1 lbf = 4.45 N.N/A = Not applicable.1The tabulated shear and tensile values are for anchors installed in structural lightweight concrete having the designated compressive strength at the time of installation.2The holes are drilled with bits complying with ANSI B212.15-1994. The bit diameter equals the anchor diameter.3These tension values are applicable only when the anchors are installed with special inspection as set forth in Section 2.5.4Installation details are in Figure 3. Spacing and edge distances are in Tables 4 and 5 as modified by Footnote 2.
