Prepare the A-TWPS for packout as described in the following steps. These steps can generally be
performed at the same time and in any convenient order. Depending on the specific operating
configuration and environmental conditions, some steps will not be necessary.

Ten 18-in, hook and loop straps
Ten 36-in. hook and loop straps
Ten 48-in. hook and loop straps
Twelve 10-ft. ratchet straps (2 of the 12 should already be around the NBC tank)

and loop straps that were stored in a separate BII box when the blankets were installed:
Two 18-in. hook and loop straps
Eleven 36-in. hook and loop straps

box when the hoses were installed. (The hose straps are brown and have a carrying loop.)
Ten 25-in. straps
Two 12-in. straps
One 36-in strap
NOTE
All product water hoses have caps and plugs that should be installed on the end of
the hoses during packout to keep the product hoses clean.
For easy identification, all system hoses are coded with colored bands at each end
as follows:
Ocean Intake Structure System (OISS) yellow
Raw Water green
Product Water blue
Cleaning and Waste - red
6. Remove the raw water, MF feed, and product water distribution pump insulated covers if used.
7. Disconnect all hose and adaptor heating blanket and pump heating collar power cables and
remove the blankets and collars if used.
8. Tightly roll up the heating blankets as follows:
a. Lay out the blanket with the air vents facing up. Open the air vents (see Figure 1).
b. Starting at the end opposite the power cable, double the blanket over as shown and roll it
up as tightly as possible.
c. At the power cable end, make sure the cable is rolled up inside the blanket.
NOTE
Be sure the blankets are rolled up as tightly as possible so they will all fit in their
designated packout locations.
