2.0 Principles of Operation An understanding of the design and operating principle of the PORTA-Scrubber with chemical media is useful for effective installation, operation, and maintenance. The system is intended to remove corrosive and odorous gaseous contaminants from sewage pumping stations, laboratory vent hoods, and pressure relief valves of chemical storage tanks. WARNING: Chemical tank on other high concentration applications may require constant airflow and other special operating instructions.

3.4 General Filter System Installation 3.4.1 Installing the PORTA-Scrubber: Keeping the PORTAScrubber on its shipping pallet, move it to its final installation location. Remove the plastic wrapping and straps that secure the PORTA-Scrubber to its pallet. WARNING: The tank lid will not support the weight of the unit. Any attempt to support the unit from the tank lid may result in serious equipment damage and severe personal injury. Do not walk on the top of the unit or use the top for storage of materials.

3.7 Installation of Media in the PORTA-Scrubber There are several varieties of chemical media. Each media is designed to remove a specific contaminant, or group of contaminants. The arrangement of media in the scrubber is significant. Media bed #1 is located closest to the inlet. Review the drawing and ensure media is being placed in the correct bed.

5.6 General System Maintenance Ducts, external PORTA-Scrubber surfaces, latches, blower, and other system infrastructure should be checked at least every 6 months. Internal surfaces shall be examined whenever filters are replaced. Examine all components for the following: 5.6.1 Cleanliness: Sweep and vacuum all standing dust or dirt in the system.
