Procedure: SERVICE/ EXHAUSTION:

LOOP #1:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Open flange of main discharge line (from vessel) from SS main line. Start Feed water pump and open its discharge valve. Open valve#1, allow water to flow into the vessel from top and leaves the bottom. Water leaves the flange through manual opening of valve#2. Procedure is continued till cleaned water is achieved which ensures complete flushing of lines.

LOOP #2:

SERVICE/ EXHAUSTION:

1. Start Feed water pump and open its discharge valve. 2. Open valve#3, allow water to flow into the vessel from bottom and leaves the top. 3. Water leaves the tower from top and valve#4 and valve#10 is open manually and water is drained.
