Decommissioning
WARNING!
Danger from chemical residue
There is chemical residue in the liquid end and at
the housing after operation. This chemical residue
could be hazardous to people.
–
It is essential that the safety information in the
"Storage, transport and unpacking" chapter is
read before shipping or transport.
– Thoroughly clean the liquid end and the
housing of chemicals and dirt. Pay attention to
the material safety data sheet for the feed
chemical.
WARNING!
Warning of hazardous feed chemical
Should a dangerous feed chemical be used: it may
escape from the hydraulic components when
working on the pump, material failure or incorrect
handling of the pump.
– Take appropriate protective measures before
working on the pump (e.g. safety glasses,
safety gloves, ...). Adhere to the material safety
data sheet for the feed chemical.
–
Drain and flush the liquid end before working
on the pump.
WARNING!
Fire hazard with flammable media
Only with flammable media: They can be ignited by
oxygen.
– The pump may not work if there is a mixture of
feed chemical with oxygen in the liquid end. A
specialist may need to take appropriate actions
(using inert gas, ...).
CAUTION!
Warning of feed chemical spraying around
Feed chemical may spray out of the hydraulic com‐
ponents if they are tampered with or opened due to
pressure in the liquid end and adjacent parts of the
system.
– Disconnect the pump from the mains power
supply and ensure that it cannot be switched
on again by unauthorised persons.
–
Ensure that the system is at atmospheric pres‐
sure before commencing any work on hydraulic
parts of the system.
Take into account the information in the "Storage, transport and
unpacking" chapter if the system is decommissioned for a tempo‐
rary period.
