2.4.2.4 Storage non-preferred (wet)
It is not recommended that the rotor be subjected to
extended periods of submergence or wetting prior
to start-up. However, it is recognized that in some
cases, a long period of time may lapse from
installation until commercial operation.
If the pump must be stored after being installed and
wetted, the following inspection and maintenance
procedures should be performed:
a) Isolate pump - tag (seal) all valves.
b) Preserve the pump internals:
• Corrosive Pumpage (such as water). Fill the
pump as much as possible with a suitable
corrosion inhibitor and, if required, seal off any
openings. Flowserve recommends the use of
Protecsol 649L which is a water soluble, vapour
corrosion inhibitor. It is ideally suited for wet or
dry corrosion protection of equipment during
short term / long term lay-up periods of up to 24
months. Protecsol 649L corrosion inhibitor does
not need to be removed prior to placing
equipment back into service; see 10.3.
• Non-Corrosive Pumpage (such as oil). Fill pump
with pumpage to the highest level possible.
Periodically open drain connections to drain off
any moisture that may have accumulated. Refill
to highest level possible. Drain and inspect
pump prior to start-up.
2.4.3 Storage requirements for drivers
Generally storage must be indoors and dry.
See the specific manufacturer's storage re-
quirement.
2.5 Recycling and end of product life
At the end of the service life of the product or its
parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
recycled or disposed of using an environmentally
acceptable method and in accordance with local
regulations. If the product contains substances that
are harmful to the environment, these should be
removed and disposed of in accordance with
current local regulations. This also includes the
liquids and/or gases that may be used in the "seal
system" or other utilities.
Make sure that hazardous substances are
disposed of safely and that the correct personal
protective equipment is used. The safety
specifications must be in accordance with the
current local regulations at all times.
