NOTE
This procedure is a part of the extended shutdown procedure (WP 0018). Follow
the extended shutdown procedure and complete the preservation in sequence as
instructed.
1. Make sure the cleaning waste storage tank is set up as follows (see Figure 1):
a. Set up the Waste Tank within 30 feet of the TWPS waste out connection. Face the
female tank connection toward the TWPS skid.
b. If the terrain allows, set the tank at an elevation so that the top of the full tank will be
below the bottom of the RO Feed Tank.
c. Connect an A-16 Adaptor to both connections on the waste tank. Close shut-off valve V-
706 on both of the A-16 adaptors.

b. Check Adaptors A-10, A-12, and A-16 to make sure that there are gaskets inside the
female ends and that the gaskets are in good condition to ensure leak-tight connections.
c. Connect 4 x 2 in. Adaptor A-10 to the 4 in x 5 ft. waste outlet hose.
d. If using the cleaning waste storage tank, set up the hoses as follows (see Figure 2):
1) Connect a 2 in. x 10 ft., red-banded cleaning waste hose to Adaptor A-10.
2) Connect one or two additional 2 in. x 10 ft., red-banded hoses as needed to
reach the waste tank.
3) Connect Adaptor A-12 to the end of the last hose.
4) Connect Adaptor A-12 to the A-16 Adaptor on the waste tank with the female end
exposed and open the valves on these two adaptors.
5) Make sure Valve V-706 on the other Adaptor A-16 on the waste tank is closed.
