USUAL CONDITIONS
b. If not using the cleaning waste tank, simply leave valve V-705 on Adaptor A-12 open (see
Figure 3).
c. Disconnect the cleaning waste hose from 4 x 2 Adaptor A-10.
d. Rinse the inside of the hose sections and adaptors with product water from the
distribution system auxiliary hose.
e. Remove Adaptor A-10 from the 4 x 5 waste out hose and rinse with product water from
one of the distribution nozzles.
f. Remove the 4 x 5 waste out hose from the waste discharge of the TWPS and rinse with
product water from the distribution system auxiliary hose.
g. This completes the MF Preservation Flush for Extended Shutdown.
13. Refer to WP 0020, Cleaning, Preservation, and Cleaning Waste Neutralization and Pump-Out, for
the procedures to neutralize and dispose of the waste in the cleaning waste storage tank.
MF PRESERVATION IN PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
MF Preservation in Preparation for Storage has already been accomplished with the completion of the
procedures that were performed for MF Cleaning with RO Acid Cleaning, WP0024. MF Cleaning with RO
Acid Cleaning is performed whenever the TWPS is placed in a long-term term shutdown in preparation for
storage. It should also be performed if the TWPS is to be shut down during deployment for longer than
54 hours and it is not certain how long the TWPS will be shut down before it is started up again.
The last steps of the MF Cleaning with RO Acid Cleaning procedure are MF Caustic Detergent Cleaning
steps. At the end of the MF Caustic Detergent Cleaning, the caustic detergent cleaning solution is
drained and then air-purged from the MF modules. The MF modules are NOT rinsed with product water.
Residual caustic detergent cleaning solution left in the MF modules serves to preserve the fibers until the
next time the TWPS is deployed.
As a consequence, when MF Cleaning with RO Acid Cleaning is performed on the TWPS in preparation
for storage, no additional MF Preservation steps are required.
