INSTALLATION
3-4 15 Nov 09
Positioning and Mounting
Position the degasser with sufficient space around unit to allow access to various components by
operators and maintenance personnel. Approximately 2’ to 3’ space is required on all four sides of
the equipment. The recommended installation is to weld rails close to the degasser to “trap” the
machine in place. The degasser should not be welded to the tank as this installation will prevent
access to the pump.
Typical operation and maintenance functions include the following activities:
 Removing the access panels
 Greasing drive shaft bearings
 Connection of exhaust line
 Access to electrical control panel
Leveling
For proper operation, the degasser must be properly leveled along its length and width (Figure 3-
2). A 4-foot level is recommended. Shim the equipment as required to level the unit.
