REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

5.1 Identification of DN1000 Butterfly valve

● After the method statement and risk assessment is approved, Liaise with the plant operator
M/s. METITO to identify the DN1000 Butterfly valve which is to be removed, repaired and
reinstall
● Obtain necessary permits to work and carry out electrical and mechanical isolations for DN1000
Butterfly valve at TSE1 holding tank. Ensure the proper isolations of TTP, UF, FE9 Chamber
penstock prior to remove the valve.
● Inspect the DN1000 Butterfly valve Clear the area of any obstacle for removal and during the
Reinstallation of New butterfly valve.
● Clean and drain the excessive water of the pipe to avoid any biological hazard.
● Ensure no open manholes are left at site and the area is barricaded properly as other contractors
are working at site at the inlet works.

5.2 Removal of DN1000 Butterfly valve

Arrange the proper tools for removal of DN1000 Butterfly valve like Nuts and Bolts and associated
Gaskets and Actuator connection and link etc.

Upon isolation of the UF Feed pumps and associated Inlet and outlet valve, Dismantle the coupling from
UF feed line, check the condition of the Gasket for any defect, damage and improper installation etc.
Repair or replace the Gasket by new one.

Lift all the dismantled motors and gearboxes from top level at inlet works and lower to ground level for
transportation to workshop.

Barricade the complete chamber area so that no personnel shall enter the area once the coupling is
removed repaired and the opening exposed.

5.3 Reinstallation of DN1000 Butterfly valve

Upon rectification of the water leakage throughout the coupling Reinstall it by proper tightening of the
Allen bolts both the sides equally.
Remove all the tools and debris from that area.
De-isolate the UF feed pumps and inlet and outlet valve, close the permits and take the feed pumps in
operation.
Keep the Pumps in operation and observe the feed pipe line coupling for any water leakage for seven
days.

5.4 Environmental Conditions

The area carries a H2S gas hazard inside the UF feed pipe line valve chamber . Proper H2S monitoring
to be done all the time.

There is also sewage water truck unloading area with high stack where the H2S can released into air,
there are chances that there will be H2S content at sewage water truck unloading area and septage
screens

The present operator arranges delivery of chemicals like Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium hypochlorite and
Ferric chloride in bulk tankers for use in the treatment process. Release of gases during delivery of
these chemicals remains a hazard.

6 Waste Management
Any debris that is generated during installation or removal of UF feed lineTEEKAY Coupling to be
removed and disposed of effectively.

All metallic waste to be delivered to PWA as scrap.

7 Inspection and Testing

Upon installation of UF feed pipe line TEEKAY coupling and upon starting all the UF feed pumps
ensure that there is no leakage found during the operation.

Workshop report to be provided as part of service carried out.
