AHP-55 Instructions
Installation: Fill vessel at a
rate of 1 to 2 gallons per minute through the
outlet port to force trapped air out inlet of
vessel. Allow vessel to stand 24 hours with inlet
port open to permit de-gassing of carbon bed.
Add additional water to completely fill vessel
before placing in service. During initial startup,
recycle water to remove carbon fines. Do this
until water runs clear.
Operation: The
granular activated carbon in this vessel will
adsorb impurities from the water flow. Removal
efficiency is reduced as flow rates are increased.
The recommended maximum flow rate is 10 gallons
per minute, however some impurities may require
less flow to increase carbon contact time. As
the carbon becomes saturated, some impurities
will begin to pass through. To extend the useful
life of the vessel it is recommended that two
vessels be plumbed in series. Replace the first
vessel when influent and effluent concentrations
in the first vessel are equal. Move the second
vessel to the first position and place the new
vessel last.
Pressure relief
valve: Lift the pressure release
valve from time to time to release any built up
gasses. The relief port should be plumbed into
an upstream source to prevent uncontrolled discharge
of impure liquid should pressures exceed 30 psig.
Drain Vessel:
(Method 1): Using a shop vacuum, hold vacuum hose
tight to 2" discharge opening and draw out
water. (Method 2): Remove 2" bung from bottom
of drum and slice 2 or 3 clean cuts through both
liners with a sharp knife. Avoid punching holes
in liners. Several clean slices will allow water
to seep out but retain the carbon granules. Allow
to drain 24 hours before shipping.
Caution:
1) Do not exceed 30 psig operating pressure. All
air must be purged from vessel to prevent storage
of energy from the compression of gas 2) Activated
carbon has been known to react adversely with
some contaminants. Test carbon before if affects
are unknown. 3) Pre-filter for suspended solids
should be used to prevent particulate fouling
of carbon bed. 4) PH of water may be elevated
during startup. Water may require neutralization
until effluent meets influent values
Warranty:
This product is designed to remove organic impurities
from water. Due to the number of hidden variables
in water there is no certainty of its capacity.
Seller warrants that the product is free from
defects such as leaks from seals. Many of the
components in this product have been or may have
been recycled. Seller will not be liable for loss
or damage to property or any incidental or consequential
loss or expense from property damage due directly
or indirectly from the use of the product.
