OPERATION ON AN NBC CONTAMINATED SOURCE - continued
3. Place the NBC canisters adjacent to the Reverse Osmosis (RO) element module and chemical module.
4. Join the two canisters with the CPVC union. See Figure 5.
5. Locate the two product water hoses running between the chemical module and product tank. Disconnect the
section connected to the product tank. There should be one hose left connected to the chemical module
outlet on one end.
6. Use the section of hose removed in previous step to connect the NBC canisters between the RO module
and the chemical module. See Figure 5.
7. Start up the LWP and run normally. See WP 0014 00.
8. Connect the hose from the chemical module outlet to the product tank only after water quality has been
determined. FM 10-52 and 10-52-1 and the M272 kit instructions provide additional information and
guidance on doctrine, treatment and detection for NBC operations.
9. Replace the carbon canister with the spare carbon canister after 70 hours of operation. The resin canister is
sufficient for 140 hours of operation.
NOTE
Notice the carbon canister is upstream of the resin canister. Also, the NBC canisters cannot be used
downstream of the chemical module or the carbon canister will remove the injected chlorine.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Decontamination of the LWP will be done according to FM 3-5, NBC Decontamination.
2. All contaminated waste will be properly disposed of according to FM 3-5, NBC Decontamination, and all
local, state, and federal laws.
3. All hoses, except those covered by the CACs, will be discarded and new hoses issued.
