AFL INDUSTRIES,INC. <br /> RIVIERA BEACH,FLORIDA <br /> SERVICE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 1 OF 2 <br /> MANUAL <br /> PRODUCT: VTC-VERTICAL TUBE COALESCING SEPARATOR <br /> GENERAL <br /> Instructions contained herein pertain to al I VTC model separators. Refer to VTC assembly drawing contained in this <br /> manual and determine model furnished. It will be helpful to become familiar with part names,their location and principles of <br /> operation of separator. <br /> NOMENCLATURE <br /> From the model number given in the Equipment Specifications contained in this manual,the separator design flows,type of <br /> installation and whether the tank is furnished with an integral oil(product)storage chamber can be easily determined. The VTC <br /> model coding is as follows: <br /> Maximum now <br /> ViC — 100 B — 4 Size (Width) of Storage Chamber <br /> Separator Type 1 \— Type of Installation <br /> NOTE: If this figure is omitted,separator does not have a storage chamber. <br /> OPERATION <br /> l. With the hookup of inlet,oil,water outlet,and surge connections,the separator is ready for operation. The separator does not <br /> have any moving(or rotating)parts and therefore,no special precaution,except periodic checks and cleaning,is required for a <br /> satisfactory performance. <br /> 2. Sediment buildup in the separation chamber can be checked and removed when 5 or 6 inch accumulation is reached. <br /> 3. Sludge buildup withdrawal from the separation chamber of Below and Flush mount units can be accomplished through <br /> an the Sludge Draw-off pipe, located in the separation chamber and extending above the coalescing tubes.The draw-off <br /> pipe is flanged and can be attached to a mating flange of a pump suction. If a flanged pump suction is not available, <br /> the pump suction hose can be inserted into the draw-off pipe for sludge withdrawal. For Above Ground units,Sludge <br /> Drains are provided for connection to suction or drainage location. <br /> The inlet chamber should also be inspected periodically for sludge accumulation and sludge and solids removed as <br /> required. <br /> 4. Coalescing Delta-Tubes Removal <br /> Before Delta-Tubes can be removed,the top grating,holding the tubes,must be unbolted and removed. <br /> Delta-Tube modules then are removed individually. After tubes are removed,the bottom grating supporting tube modules <br /> should also be removed.* A vacuum truck or similar sludge removal means should be used for additional sludge removal. <br /> The Delta-Tubes should be placed back in the separation chamber and the unit put back in operation. <br /> SUPERSEDES: I-O-M: 2.10-1 <br />
