Setting Up
The LWP is a unique piece of equipment. To achieve mobility, multiple small modules, instead of a single large
unit, are used. These modules need to be connected with hoses and cables to enable them to function as a unit.
It is important to get familiarized with the hoses and cables that are involved to allow faster set up and connection
time.
Once the LWP is placed on the ground, the operator should follow the flow process, as described in this work
package starting at page 1, and set up the unit in order.
The first item in the list of things to complete when setting the unit up is to start filling up the settling tank. This
procedure is covered in WP 0008 00.
While the settling tank is being filled, the rest of the unit can be set up. Once the unit is set up and the settling
tank is at least half full, the filtrate tank on the ultrafiltration (UF) module can be filled. After filtrate tank if full, the
diesel engine can be started to initiate potable water production. These procedures are covered in WP 0009 00.
The table containing the hoses and their differentiating features can be found in WP 0009 00, table 1. The table
listing the cables can be found also in WP 0009 00, table 2.
In general, hoses are designed to avoid improper set up by means of size and fittings. All but three of the hoses
have a male and a female camlock on their ends and are designed to be connected with the flow entering on the
female end and exit on the male end. The following is a set of descriptions that will allow the operator to
distinguish them.
Raw Water Hoses
These hoses have the largest diameter at 1.5 inch (3.81 cm) and have stainless steel camlocks. They are to be
placed between the raw water strainer and raw water pump. They have grey bands on them. There are two
sections of these.
Booster hoses
These are fabric hoses and their diameter is 3/4" (1.91 cm). They are to be placed between the raw water pump
and settling tank and also between the booster pump and UF module. They have green bands on them. There
are three sections of these and are shipped inside the COEI box.
HP feed hose
This hose has a diameter of 1 inch (2.54 cm). It is to be placed between the UF module and high-pressure pump
(HP) module. It has an orange band on it and female camlocks on both ends. There is only one section of this
hose.
Reject hoses
These hoses have a diameter of 3/4" (1.91 cm). They are used to route the reject streams from the UF and RO
modules into a brine pit or the source. They have red bands on them and have female camlocks on both ends.
There are two sections of these.
Product hoses
These hoses have a diameter of 1" (2.54 cm). They are to be placed between the RO module and chemical
module and, from there, to the product tank. They have white band on them. There are three sections of these.
Distribution hose
This hose is a fabric hose and has a diameter of 1" (2.54 cm). It is to be placed between the distribution pump and
the distribution nozzle. It has a blue band on it. There is only one section of this hose.
