Page 14 of 23
Person Document
 Fill the system with plain water.

 Fully vent the system to ensure no air is trapped within the pipe
work by opening all the system air vents manually.
 Gravity flushing will be carried out to remove major debris, loose
particles and suspended solids from the system. Drain from lowest
point to remove all suspended solids and loose debris from the
system.
 Circulate the system using the permanent system/temporary
pumps for 6-8 hours.
 After circulating open the drain valves at the lowest point in the
system.
 Flushed water should be disposed out in the storm water drain or
disposal tanks provided at site.
B) Dynamic Flushing
 Add make-up water.

 Once water comes from the air vent, close the air vent valve and
start dynamic flushing.
 Slowly open the drain valves at the lowest points in the whole
system and adjust it to equate makeup and drainage.
 Note: the drainage flow must never be more than the clean make-
up water flow as to avoid system pressure loss and drainage.

valve to make sure the circulation.
 Return water will be passed through the filter of 25 micron size to
remove any suspended solids and suspended iron.
 Systematically remove, examine and clean the entire strainer,
filters and change the same.
 Flushing velocities will be measured using calibrated ultra-sonic
flow measurement. Readings will be taken on the largest pipe in
the system. Velocity will be in line with BSRIA Regulations.
C) Chemical Cleaning
 Chemical cleaning should be carried out immediately after

dynamic flushing.
 The purpose of chemical cleaning is to remove metal oxide
deposits from metal surfaces.
 Dose required quantities of cleaning agent using temporary
tank/pump system or manual dosing pot.
 Add cleaning chemical Accepta 2877 Neutral pH Cleaner dose at
the rate of 1.0 Kg/m3 as per the system volume.

 Circulate the chemical for about 48 hrs, to run either continuously

or intermittently based on the system water temperature not
exceeding 500 C.
 Flushed water can be disposed out to the storm water drain at site
subject to compliance with the norms set by municipality for
disposal of water.
 Chemical treated water must be taken away by tankers and
disposed of in a suitable location.
C) Dynamic Flushing
 Dynamic Flushing is to take out all the left over suspended

particles, mill scale, debris and metal oxides, which are
accumulated in the system during chemical cleaning stage by
continuously flushing with dynamic flushing.
 Keep the system in circulation, using all the flushing pumps.
 Dynamic flushing through the filter of 10 micron size to remove
any suspended solids and suspended iron.
 Open the clean water feed to the system
 Slowly open the drain valves at the lowest points in the whole
system and adjust it to equate makeup and drainage.
 Note: the drainage flow must never be more than the clean make-
up water flow as to avoid system pressure loss and drainage.
 Carry out filling, draining & circulating until the water is visibly
clear and the below parameters are met.
 After dynamic flushing is over the system, check the water quality
and clean the strainer.
 Water Bird to test and confirm acceptance of water quality, which
shall be as per parameters mentioned below.
