Sole Warranty: RJ Environmental Products warrants that this scrubber system was
built in accordance with the approved design submittal, and that subject to the warranty period set
forth below this scrubber system will be free from defects in material and workmanship.
Length of Warranty: This RJE scrubber system is warranted against defects in material
and workmanship for one year from the date of beneficial occupancy, or 18 months from the date
of shipment, whichever occurs first.
Backcharges: The Buyer/Owner has no right to, and may not backcharge RJE for
warranty claims.
2. The system must be shut down and power turned off prior to initiating repairs of
any kind. Adhere to all electrical lockout (tagging) procedures to avoid accidental
starting of equipment. Be aware that even when the main disconnect switch on the
control panel is OFF, the leads up to this switch are still HOT unless the plant power
supplying the control panel has been shut off.
3. Keep all equipment guards in place. If removed to service the equipment, make
certain the guards are replaced properly.
4. Locate and test the nearest emergency shower and eyewash stations prior to
operating or working on the system components.
5. Wear eye and face protection around rotating and pumping equipment and
whenever working around or handling chemicals. Be especially cautious of
splashing when disconnecting piping, valves and fittings.
10. After working on equipment make certain that all tools and supplies have been
put away before energizing the system.
11. Read, understand and follow the recommendations in the Material Safety
Data Sheets for all hazardous materials (see Section 6).
12. Gaskets must be used in all flanged connections. Inspect and clean or replace
gaskets as necessary, and tighten fasteners securely to assure a proper seal.
13. Follow all applicable OSHA standards and guidelines, and electrical codes
including those relating to working in confined spaces, working with 480 volt
electrical power, working around rotating machinery, and working with hazardous
chemicals.
1.4 Major System Components The USFilter LO/PRO™ Odor Control System is comprised
of the following major system components:
FRP three stage scrubber with integral sump
FRP air exhaust fan
Two chemical recirculation pumps
Three chemical feed pumps
Two chemical tanks (FRP for NaOCl and Stainless Steel for NaOH)
Electrical control panel with pH and ORP sensors and controllers
1.4.1 LO/PRO™ Scrubber with Integral Sump The scrubber is rectangular in shape
and consists of three odor absorption stages. The vessel is made of fiberglass reinforced plastic
(FRP) and is fabricated in accordance with ASTM 4097 & PS15-69 standards. The absorption
stages are filled with a polypropylene packing media manufactured by Lantec Products. Details of
the packing media are presented in Section 7. The fiberglass is coated on the internal
surfaces of the scrubber with a vinyl ester resin, manufactured by Ashland Chemical. This resin
provides superior protection against corrosion from the chemicals used and produced in the
process. The scrubber is custom fabricated for each installation and is provided with ports for pH,
ORP and liquid level monitoring, anchor lugs, access manways, drains, overflows, pump suction
and discharge fittings, and gas inlet and outlet fittings. The following table shows the overall
dimensions of the scrubber:
2.1 Installation:
The odor control scrubber is delivered to the owner with all internal components installed.
If for any reason internal components need to be removed, please contact USF/RJE to obtain
specific instructions.
In an emergency, the entire scrubber system can be immediately shut down by turning OFF the
main system disconnect breaker.
This section describes what set points the system should run at and how to change those
set points to maximize system efficiency. The following table contains approximate values of set
points for similar applications.
The following section is intended to provide the operator with a better understanding of
the odor control system parameters to more closely optimize system effectiveness and minimize
operating costs. Many factors affect the scrubber system performance and optimum settings
including inlet concentrations, flow rates, water quality, and so on. Each installation will be
different and settings should be documented and adjusted as needed to optimize performance.
Optimal system operation means maintaining acceptable odor removal while minimizing
costs associated with chemical usage, water usage and maintenance. The operator should
consider the operation of the system during all times of the day and night, to ensure that the
system is set to handle peak loads that may occur when plant staff are not normally available.
The Output value will normally move up and down a certain amount in response to the
PID control of the system. Typically, what is happening is that the pH or ORP controller
remembers the time interval from the last point that the process value deviated from the set point
and how much chemical it had to instruct the metering pump to add to correct the process value.
The controller is automatically changing the Output before the process value is affected.
If the Output stays high for an extended period of time, (fifteen minutes or more) and the
Var reading does not increase, the flow rate of the metering pump associated with the controller
should be checked, using the calibration columns. If the metering pump is operating properly
there is probably a problem with the chemical feed system because the required chemical is not
getting into the system.
Note: If at any time the operator wants to exit the system configuration setting without changing
the configuration. Press the MEAS button. When the controller prompts you “Do you want to
save changes” highlight the NO using the ARROWS and press ENTER. This will return the
operator to the main display. Please refer to Section 12 for more information.
Prior to calibration, clean the probes with a dilute Muriatic Acid solution. Use a toothbrush to
carefully remove excess scaling from the glass bulb. Use caution not to scratch the glass. Rinse
the probes and wait 30 minutes before calibrating. The following procedure can be used to
calibrate the probes. See Section 12 for more details.
1. Press the CAL button on the main display.
2. The controller will prompt what the operator wants to calibrate. If pH (ORP) is
highlighted, press ENTER. If pH (ORP) is not highlighted use the ARROWS to
highlight pH (ORP), press ENTER.
3. Ensure that the ARBITRARY BUFFER is highlighted and press ENTER.
4. HOLD should be highlighted by a blinking cursor; press ENTER.
5. Cursor highlights CONTINUE; press ENTER.
6. The controller will prompt “Is this sensor being calibrated for the first time?”. If the
answer is NO, use the ARROWS to highlight NO; press ENTER.
7. Cursor highlights CONTINUE; press ENTER.
