Manual Polymer Makedown Systems Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Introduction Congratulations! With the Pulsafeeder Pre-Engineered Polymer Makedown System, you have the finest polymer makedown equipment platform available. This system includes the essential elements for successful installation and operation of your system(s). You are encouraged to: READ THIS MANUAL! Pulsafeeder Pre-Engineered Polymer Makedown Systems are designed to support multi-pump installations for injection.
Manual Polymer Makedown Systems Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Safety Your safety is of the utmost concern to Pulsafeeder. Dosing pumps and systems can handle harsh or toxic chemicals and exposure can lead to serious injury or death. Always wear appropriate protective clothing (for example, safety glasses, gloves, coveralls, etc.) and follow safe handling procedures. Pay attention to what you’re doing and note safety advisories where they are shown throughout this manual.
Manual Polymer Makedown Systems Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual System Layout and Components Figure 1, below, illustrates a static mixer polymer makedown system with integrated control. Note the various components and their descriptions as they apply to your system. ! Never remove the Tank Cover without removing power to the Polymer Makedown System first.
Manual Polymer Makedown Systems Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Systems Overview The Polymer Makedown System is designed to inject neat polymer into a clean water stream and to agitate this mixture through a static mixer causing the polymer strands to expand into a ‘made-down’ aqueous solution. The solution is stored in the polymer solution day-tank and mixed occasionally with the rotary mixer located in the tank.
Manual Polymer Makedown Systems Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Process side The Polymer Makedown System is not equipped with backflow prevention to protect against process fluid flowing back into the municipal water supply should the process pressure become greater than the water supply pressure. Please refer to all local, state and national codes for the proper backflow prevention requirements based on your type of installation.
Manual Polymer Makedown Systems Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Installation Prior to attempting installation, familiarize yourself with the layout and components furnished with your Pulsafeeder Polymer Makedown System. These vary from system to system – review the documentation supplied with your order. Inspect your system for damage which may have occurred during transit.
Manual Polymer Makedown Systems Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Neat Polymer Supply Line This line connects the source of the neat polymer to the Pulsafeeder Polymer Makedown System. Please refer to Figure 1 on page 6. The neat polymer source must be located above the centerline of the pump (flooded suction condition); ensure that the suction line has a gradual downward slope from the tank to the skid suction connection.
Manual Polymer Makedown Systems Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Polymer Makedown Process Process Start This polymer makedown system utilizes a continuous makedown process. The makedown process is started by moving the Main Selector Switch to the “Run” position. This will open the Inlet Water Solenoid Valve and energize the Neat Polymer Injection Pump to add polymer to the water flow. The system will produce made-down polymer continuously while in the “Run” mode.
