3. HAZARDS

Only qualified personnel shall install a filter. Filtering systems should be installed, operated and
maintained in accordance with international and applicable codes and regulations. Following notes
and instructions point out, in particular, the “pressure” risk. Installation, operation and maintenance
procedures performed by unqualified personnel may result in unsafe operation. This condition may
result in equipment damage or personal injury. If a leak develops in the system, the escaping gas
may accumulate and become a fire or explosion hazard. Immediately call qualified service personnel
in case of trouble.

Personal injury, equipment damage, or leakage due to escaping gas or bursting of pressure-
containing parts may result if the filter is installed where its capabilities can be exceeded or where
conditions exceed any ratings of the adjacent piping or piping connections. Furthermore, damage
to the filter could result in personal injury and property damage due to gas leak

In case of misuse or malfunction can experience the following hazards:

 Pressure beyond the maximum allowable pressure PS : The filter is constructed with
appropriate safety margins. The system shall be equipped with suitable safety valve. In
plate and use this guide shows the maximum allowable pressure.
 Operating at less than the minimum project : Requirement by the user to install and use
the device to temperatures above the minimum temperature in the project. The minimum
temperature of project is shown in the instruction manual and on the rating label.
 Operating temperature exceeds the design temperature : The maximum design
temperature is shown in the instruction manual and on the nameplate.
 Bump or fall during handling and transport : The filter is usually packed on wooden pallets.
The filter, when the plant is delivered already mounted decompression, is suitably
mounted on a frame that includes all parts of the plant. This solution makes it impossible
to cross each other components.
 Fire Inside: The installation must comply with local regulations (in place of installation) on
the gas system (where there is danger of explosion).
 Improper installation and use: In case of separate sale from the rest of the system, will give
all the necessary instructions to properly install. Misuse, such as the introduction of other
fluids out of the design parameters and usage are prohibited.
 Opening the unit under pressure: The opening of the lid can be downloaded only after the
internal pressure by opening a drain cock down in lower part. Besides this maneuver will
be performed only by trained personnel as shown on a 'special adhesive label affixed to
the flange sealing.

The filter must be installed with proper leveling, vertical or horizontal depending on the type within
the limits specified in technical specifications.

Access
The filter must be installed at a sufficient distance from the other devices, so as to allow operators
easy access for cleaning, inspection and maintenance.
The filter has an opening system to allow internal inspection, during the installation check their
accessibility.
The appropriate media such as ladders or platforms may be made by the client to facilitate the
inspection of every part of the equipment.

Piping and connections

To avoid excessive strain or stress due to connections to the pipes, should be taken the following
precautions:
 To avoid stress due to the connection of the filter nozzles, pipes should not be forced
alignment during assembly.
 If the intensity and direction of the forces caused by external piping and nozzles are known
have been designed according to these reactions, the values of force and moments must not
be exceeded.

Flanges and bolted joints

During the construction of a flanged joint is important to ensure the accurate alignment of vertical
and horizontal parallel faces of the flanges.
Tighten bolts evenly crosswise with, once the check further tightening each bolt. The same
procedure will be followed in case of maintenance.

Ventilation
The filters should have adequate ventilation around them, particularly if used indoors. The
ventilation requirements must take into account the average type of loss that may occur from the
device. Special precautions in case of lethal material to be agreed with the authorities concerned.

Lighting
Where necessary, the lighting of the filter should have a level sufficient to allow the safe movement
of personnel operations.

Cover transport and caps

7. OPERATING

The filter does not require any particular attention to operate since it is not a rotating component
(static equipment). Anyhow since the filter internal is very sensitive to pressure, it is recommended
that during start-up and shut down the variation of pressure will be smoothly.

The cartridge installed inside is design ad to be able to withstand a differential pressure between
inlet and outlet. To facilitate the operator control a proper set of pressure gauges have to be
installed on the nozzles for which it is foreseen proper coupling connections.

Each cartridge filter is designed for a maximum differential pressure not be exceeded. The cartridges
are subject to clogging when the pressure differential has been reached will require their
replacement.

Maximum pressure difference: 250 mbar.

8. MAINTENANCE

This instruction does not overrule plant and/or institutional instruction for operation in safe work
inside a plant. In additional to information given on this regard into Instruction Manual present
consideration are to be followed in order to operate safety.

 Filter parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected periodically and replace as
necessary. The frequency of inspection and replacement depends upon the severity of service
condition and upon applicable codes and national standards/rule.
 During the inspection of the filter, the equipment with drain valves, these shall be checked
that the valves are free of any debris that may restrict the drain flow.
 In order to avoid personal injury or equipment damage caused by sudden release of pressure
or explosion of accumulate gas, do not attempt any maintenance or disassembly without first
isolating the filter from system pressure an d relieving all internal pressure from the filter.
 Before starting disassembly, carefully release all pressures from the filter.
 Never loosen the filter body while the units is under pressure.
 Do not remove any pipe plugs from the unit while it is under pressure.
 Use a gauge to monitor pressure while releasing it.
 The drain valve is for releasing fluid.
 Direct the flow stream in a safe direction.

The operation for replacement of the cartridge are of difference type pending type of filter closure.

Flanged type opening

This type of opening is a standard as any flange connection. Opening sequence are:

a) By means of the drain valve, depressurize the filter.

b) After assurance of complete depressurization (by means the pressure gauge),un-tightening
the bolt (26) in cross sequence process till all bolts are removed.
c) Remove the blind flange (1) lifting it by the appropriate lifting eyebolt
d) Remove the nuts on the central bar that unlocks the cartridge (9)
e) Remove the cartridge by unscrewing it
f) Lift the cartridge by hand and remove it from filter body.
g) Inspect the O-ring or gasket (2) or possibly gasket and their locations, and replace if
necessary.
h) Inspect and clean, if necessary, the internal surface and components.

For re-assembly, follow the same procedure in reverse.

In case this is not Davit for lifting the lid you need a crane to operate safely without damaging the
sealing surface.

An examination of internal and external parts of the equipment to be made. The filter cartridge
should be inspected to determine if you need a cleaning or replacement. Frequency substitution of
cartridges depends by the severity of service conditions and by national applicable laws/ rules.

9. START-UP AND SHUTDOWN

Filters are particular sensitive to pressure increase very rapidly since the cartridge itself may be
damage. Pressure should be increase in stages of approximately 10% of operating pressure up to the
operating value. In case of leakage or other inconvenience, the procedure should be immediately
stopped and the problem investigated and removed before a new start-up.

Gasketed connection
Before start-up and after initial start-up, at normal operating pressure and temperature, it is
recommended to inspect all gasketed joints for tightness, with soaps water.

Decommissioning
When possible, reduce slowly the pressure in order to avoid damage to the internals. In no case
open the equipment before the pressure is completely released. In case of sudden high variation of
pressure particular attention should be given to the status of internal cartridge.
