DESCRIPTION AND THEORY OF OPERATION
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA
Cleaning Waste Discharge Components (see Figure 36)
The cleaning waste storage discharge components are use to discharge MF or RO element cleaning
solutions and rinse water waste away from the TPWS. The following components are included as normal
issue with both the A-TWPS and the MC-TWPS:
Adaptor A-10. Replaces waste discharge Adaptor A-09. Connects the 4-in. x 5-ft. waste hose to
a 2-in. x 10-ft., red-banded suction cleaning waste hose.
Three 2-in. x 10-ft. red-banded, suction cleaning waste hose. Replaces the 6 x 50 waste out
hose. Discharges cleaning wastes from the TWPS either to the ground or to a cleaning waste
storage tank.
Hose End Valve Assembly Adaptor A-12. Connected to the end of the 2 x 10 cleaning waste
hose. The adaptor includes Cleaning Waste Outlet Valve V-705 that is closed after use to allow
safe draining of the hose.
Cleaning Waste Storage Kit (see Figure 36)
The cleaning waste storage kit is used where required to store MF or RO element cleaning solutions and
rinse water waste until the waste can be removed for discharge to a sanitary sewer or other designated
point of waste discharge. All of the waste storage components are provided as standard issue with the A-
TWPS and are available as an extended capability module for the MC-TWPS. The cleaning waste
storage kit includes the following components:
One 1500-Gallon Cleaning Waste Storage Tank. Used to store acid cleaning waste, caustic
detergent cleaning waste, and the water that is used to rinse the MF fibers, the RO vessels, and
the RO feed tank after certain cleaning procedures.
Three shutoff valve assemblies Adaptor A-16. Used as tank shut-off valves to keep the waste
in the tank when it is necessary to disconnect and reconfigure the cleaning waste hoses for waste
neutralization and disposal procedures.
