OPERATOR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
MICRO-FILTRATION SYSTEM
WARNING
Clearance between the outer sleeves of the MF modules is tight. Each filter
module contains gear-like ribs around the sleeves. Care must be taken not to get
fingers caught between filter module outer sleeves. Failure to observe this
warning can result in injury to fingers and hands.
i.
Push the lower outer sleeve firmly down to fully engage the O-rings with the top outer
sleeve. Screw the outer sleeve all the way onto the lower head, then back the sleeve
down a little leaving a very small gap.
NOTE
Ensure that the top outer sleeve does not unscrew from the upper head while
screwing the lower sleeve onto the lower head.
j. Unscrew the upper sleeve from the upper head just a little leaving a very small gap.
6. Use the log sheets to record the submodule serial numbers and to note replacement of the filtrate
cups and clips.
7. Operational check
a. Return to normal operation.
b. Check for leaks.
NOTE
Until the new elements have been operated for at 50 - 200 hours, they will not pass
the MF pressure integrity test. (See WP 0016).
