EVERBLUE filters are carefully constructed and manufactured using the stringent quality controls of our EN
ISO 2001-2008 certification.
However, the filter may become a hazard if not used or installed properly.
The operator must evaluate the impact of filter failure on the environment within the framework of his own
safety guidelines and decide whether additional measures are necessary to ensure operator and facility
safety.

The filter must be operated in a safe manner.

All normal and customary rules and regulations for safe operation and avoidance of injury must be followed.
For the operation of the filter vessel the existing national regulations need to be followed. Additionally, we
would draw your attention to the following CE Directives:

89/391/EEC: on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers
at work
89/655/EEC: (changed 95/63/EG): on the Minimum Safety and Health Requirements for the Use of Work
Equipment.

No work on a filter should be performed without first shutting it down completely and releasing the pressure.

EVERBLUE filter housings are to be serviced by authorized personnel only.

The operating manual is part of the pressure equipment (filter) and has to be kept for the
equipment life cycle. It must be available at all times for the operator and in case of loss or damage
immediately replaced. Operating manuals are available from the manufacturer or its authorized dealer.

Operating manual 25/05/2023 - Ed. 1 Rev. 1 Pag. 3 di 29

1.1 Residual risks

Reading and paying attention to operating instructions is essential.

1.1.1 Residual risks due to pressure and temperature

If the maximum pressure is higher than atmospheric pressure, then the vessel must be equipped with an
adequate and accurate pressure-measuring device, such as a pressure gauge. Should the temperature of
the medium be a safety hazard (e.g. by exceeding the boiling point), a temperature- measuring device has to
be installed.

Depending on the operating conditions, the surface of the filter vessel may become very hot. Adequate
safety measures must be taken by the customer when operating the filter to protect against the danger of
getting burnt.

Appropriate precautions can be:

Isolation, protection against contact and access restrictions.

1.1.2 Residual hazard due to pressure:

Exceeding the rated operating pressure must be prevented by means of suitable devices or equipment
located either at the pressurized equipment or at the assembly (if the pressurized equipment cannot be cut
off).
Pressures exceeding the rated pressure are not permissible.

The protective devices or equipment must properly fulfill their safety functions, and only these functions,
which means they cannot also provide other functions.
Safety devices and equipment must operate in a manner that is foolproof, reliable and suitable for the
intended mode of operation.

1.1.3 Residual hazard due to corrosion or chemical effects:

The filter is designed, manufactured and marketed for water filtration. Any other use is exclusively under the
responsibility of the user, that must take into consideration the effects of the liquid being filtered on the filter
housing and accessories. These effects may include corrosion, dissolving or weakening of the filter housing.
This applies to all material in contact with the liquid being filtered, especially parts under pressure and
includes gaskets, seals, and bolted connections. The user must select an appropriate material for the
intended use and confirm its suitability. Regular inspections must be performed while the equipment is in
service. It is recommended to record the inspections and to keep the record.

1.1.4 Residual hazards due to external loads:

Possible external loads from wind, snow, earthquake or traffic as well as impact forces on legs and
supports have to be identified and an assessment made on consequences to the pressure equipment.
If not specifically mentioned the equipment is not designed for, nor should it be subjected to these
types of loads.

1.1.5 Residual hazard due to filling or emptying:

The user must take suitable measures to ensure that liquids under pressure cannot escape in an uncontrolled
manner from open degassing (exhaust and vent) lines, for example, whilst the pressurized equipment (filter)
is being filled. This applies to draining the equipment.
The closure elements must be fashioned such that secure operation is possible. All connections to the filter
must be executed professionally and in accordance with the standard piping practices. When choosing o-ring
or a gasket process media leakage and operational conditions must be considered. Should flexible hoses be
used it is important to consider all circumstances that may have an effect on sealing, process media leakage
and reliability as well as other safety and relevant issues. A permanent connection is preferred in all cases.

Operating manual 25/05/2023 - Ed. 1 Rev. 1 Pag. 4 di 29

This is also relevant in reference to connections that have to do with de-gassing or venting, such as pressure
warning systems. If a filling/emptying (also faulty emptying) can cause positive excessive operating pressure,
then this risk needs to be secured through a bursting disc or connected emptying and venting equipment.

1.1.6 Residual hazard due to wear:

Under certain conditions, failure of material due to known chemical effects (corrosion) or mechanical effects
(wear) must be taken into consideration. This is often dealt with by using increased wall thicknesses, casings
or coatings.
For operational continuity, the user must employ suitable means to ensure that planned, periodic inspections
are performed. Any damage must be immediately corrected.

1.1.7 Residual hazard due to external fire:

External fire can damage the equipment and cause safety issues. The user must evaluate the potential for
this type of damage and take suitable precautions to limit or prevent it.

1.1.8 Residual hazards due to decomposition of unstable fluids

An assessment of the risk of damage to the equipment from decomposition of unstable fluids has to be made
and protected against.

1.1.9 Residual hazards due to the character of operating and during maintenance
The filter element itself may cause hazards during change out and use.
Textile filter media tends to have an electrostatic charge. This has to be observed if explosive atmospheres
are present in the filter or the area around the filter.

Also possible are reactions between filter media and filtrate or the trapped solids.

The filter element normally contains product residue (fluid residue or wetted cake). Suitable protection for
operators must be provided.

Examples as described above have to be assessed by the user and prevented with appropriate procedures.
Counter measures may include appropriate earthing, venting, flushing with harmless fluids, drying, inert gas
flushing, minimizing of residual fluid, etc.

1.2 Warning notices

On the equipment are shown the necessary indications of warnings. Check the signs of warning labels on the
device before performing any type of operation.

1.3 Housing life cycle

The equipment does not have a fixed duration. As regards the model and the characteristics of the
construction, check the license plate with the data placed on the filter and the product data sheet.

The filters are designed for 1000 operational start-up ad shut offs (pressure changes between ambient
pressure and the design pressure). Changes of the values of the design pressure are not allowed. We
recommend regular checks in accordance with local regulations for pressure vessels.

The intervals between checks are governed by national regulations, the working conditions or the provisions
of law. The operator has the obligation to make sure you know and comply with these regulations.

The data recording operation of the apparatus (instantaneous flow, daily flow rate, the feed pressure, outlet
pressure, differential pressure, hours of work) must be done at least twice a day.

The recording of the replacement of filter elements (date and time) must be each time.

Must be kept track of all the records.

Operating manual 25/05/2023 - Ed. 1 Rev. 1 Pag. 5 di 29

2.0 Technical specifications, operating principle.

2.1 Principle of operation

The principle of operation is essential for understanding how the filter works.

2.2 Principle of operation of the housing for filter cartridges (cartridge filter)

The main element of the container for filter cartridges (cartridge filter) is the filter cartridge. The filter cartridge
is usually made of pleated fabrics, melt blown materials (extruded) wire wrapped or in mono or multifilament
fibers (net). It is also possible to use metal cartridges. The filter cartridge is installed directly in the container in
special seats or is inserted in a support housed inside the filter. The passage of the fluid through the filter
cartridge is made from outside to inside. The dirty liquid flows through the filter material that traps dirt.

The fact that the particles are collected and retained by the filter cartridge is one of the main features of the
system with cartridge filter. These systems are simple, safe and extremely easy to use for the operator.

EVERBLUE containers for filter cartridges may contain one or more filter cartridges. The different models can
be adapted to individual applications and can vary widely. The models take into account the operating
conditions, the materials of construction, connection types and the positions, in addition to surface finish and
operating parameters.

2.3 Specifications

The technical specifications of the equipment (filter) are shown in the TECHNICAL DATA SHEET, attached to
this document and in our website www.everblue.it

2.4 Applications

HOUSINGS FOR CARTRIDGES FILTERS of EVERBLUE can be used to filter water.

3.0 Storage, transportation, installation and adjustment

3.1 Storing

The equipment must be kept in a safe place. The equipment must not be stored in a corrosive environment.
You must take the steps necessary to ensure that the inside of the housing is clean. If the openings at the
connection points have not been already closed with plugs from the manufacturer, close. If you require an
extremely clean housing, you have to use a safe atmosphere with an inert gas (nitrogen).

3.2 Transport

When transporting the equipment you must use suitable means. If a filter is to be lifted with a belt carrier
(without the original packaging), you must choose the appropriate lifting points. If additional carriers (ring nuts
or transport devices), these have to be used. To protect people and equipment you will have to take the
necessary safety precautions such as: safety distances appropriate, no person or equipment below suspended
equipment, lifting hooks suitable from the point of view of safety.

3.3 Installation and adjustment

Important note:

Before installing the filter, monitor compliance with the operating parameters.

You must check the specifications indicated on the label and data sheet of the filter according to
operating conditions. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature range indicated.

The operator should avoid conditions of excessive operating through adequate equipment (e.g. The
installation of pressure relief valves).

Also make sure that the materials that will be in contact with the product are chemically suitable. This is also
valid for the materials used for the filter housing, the gaskets and the filter medium.

Because of the unlimited number of operating conditions that may occur, you can provide only general
guidelines. The responsibility for the choice of materials for specific applications is exclusively operator.
EVERBLUE is not responsible for and makes no warranties about the suitability of materials.

Installation Instructions:

Carefully unpack to exclude the presence of damage.

Remove all of the operating instructions, data sheets, drawings, etc. attached, read carefully and keep for
future use.

Make sure that all the accessories are included.

If present, remove the protective plastic caps from the connections.

The scheme of installation of the equipment (filter) is shown in SCHEME OF INSTALLATION attached
to this manual.

Warning:

The necessary installation parts present in SCHEME OF INSTALLATION attachment are not included
in the equipment.

Operating manual 25/05/2023 - Ed. 1 Rev. 1 Pag. 7 di 29

The filter element is not included in the apparatus.

During installation, be careful not to switch input and output.

The flow direction is not always indicated on the filter, but can be determined by checking the
INSTALLATION DIAGRAM and the design of the filter attached to this manual.

Observe the applicable national and local regulations when you set and start the pressure vessel, especially:

- Establishing security areas and safety distances where necessary to protect employees and other persons;

- Ensuring easy access and secure work area for the housing;

- Ensuring secure installation (fixing by bolts) to prevent shifting or other movement due to external forces,
such as the weight of the chambers themselves, the pressure or fluid entering into the filter housing

Important note:

The connections of the ducts must be made so as not to be subjected to stresses. Additional weights on the
links are not allowed if not explicitly stated. The execution of the installation of the filter in the duct system,
including additional accessories, should be performed only by qualified personnel and in compliance with
regulations and national and local codes.

Operating manual 25/05/2023 - Ed. 1 Rev. 1 Pag. 8 di 29

4.0 Starting

Warning:

After installation of the filter, there must be a clean of the container and a leak test pressure.

Cleaning:

a. Particles inside

The interior of the filter is usually treated with glass microspheres and / or other products and then cleaned. It
is inevitable that some residues remain in the filter. In some cases, the housings of the filter are treated with
acid for the pickling and then cleaned with demineralized water. It is suggested to perfectly clean the inside of
the filter with a suitable cleaning agent.

b. Anticorrosive

In some cases, the parts can be protected with corrosion. This protection should be removed (by cleaning with
a steam or solvents) if there is a possibility that such material damage the process fluid or related equipment.

c. Lubricants

Depending on the model of the filter, some parts may be lubricated at the factory. The lubricant is not
considered dangerous. If the reaction with the liquid production was considered a possible risk, thoroughly
clean these parts before. It is therefore recommended to replace the lubricant with a lubricant most appropriate
alternative.

d. Leakage test pressure

In general, it is recommended to perform a pressure test after installation of the filter. The test pressure
must be made following the start-up procedures described below and after performing the assembly
and closing of the filter shown in PROCEDURES ASSEMBLY, OPENING AND CLOSING. During the test
pressure, the operating conditions recommended can not be overcome.

4.1 Filter Starting

Before starting you should check:

a. the correct installation of the filter as shown in SCHEME OF INSTALLATION attached to this manual;

b. the proper closure of the filter as shown in PROCEDURES ASSEMBLY, OPENING AND CLOSING
attached to this manual.

These stages are recommended for start:

1. open the vent valve

2. slowly open the inlet valve (not opening too quickly because sudden loads can damage the filter
medium and the filter). The vent valve must be opened to ensure that no air remains locked in the upper
part of the filter. The valve should be closed as soon as the liquid begins to flow. Is necessary to take
precautions to avoid injury and damage caused by the spray of liquid. If the filter is not vented, any air in
the filter will reduce the efficiency of the filter media. In general, the air introduced in the system must be
vented immediately. When you filter fluids with frequent presence of air, the filter must be vented regularly;

3. open the outlet valve slowly;

4. since some filtering elements may release particles when they are used for the first time, the discharge
or recirculation of the first filtered liquid is recommended;

5. verify that the flow rate, the feed pressure, the differential pressure inside the filter does not exceed
the limits of operation of the filter and the filter element installed in it;

Operating manual 25/05/2023 - Ed. 1 Rev. 1 Pag. 9 di 29

 6. make sure that there is no leakage of liquid;

7. before sending the filtered liquid use, ensure, through appropriate analysis (TSS -Total suspended
solids, turbidity, particle count, SDI - Silt Density Index), that the quality of the filtered liquid is responsive
to the need of the application;

8. run multiple times a day (recommended every hour) regular analysis (TSS -Total suspended solids,
turbidity, particle count, SDI - Silt Density Index) of the filtered liquid to prevent any kind of problem and
intervene in time to avoid serious damage to equipment and / or systems installed downstream of the filter
(all the data must be recorded and stored).

9. Register all the data of the filter starting and store them into the DATA REGISTER OF THE FILTER

Operating manual 25/05/2023 - Ed. 1 Rev. 1 Pag. 10 di 29

5.0 Use, handling and maintenance

5.1 Use and maintenance

To achieve maximum results from the equipment is recommended to provide to all users and maintenance
personnel adequate training. This manual should be part of such training. The training should include the
knowledge of the proper and safe operation of the equipment. Training must also deal with the requirements
of the process, the filter type, types of filter media, the special treatment of fluids and general safety rules.

The equipment must not be used incorrectly and you need to take appropriate measures to prevent this from
happening.

Misuse includes:

- Overcoming the pressure or the operating temperatures allowed;

- Filtering of not compatible fluids;
- Incorrect use of spare parts (e.g. bolts and gaskets);
- Exceeding the permissible load components;
- Operational errors such as opening under pressure or the incorrect emptying or filling.

The possible consequences with personal injury or property damage may include:

- Equipment failure under pressure (burst or explosion);

- Emission of hazardous fluids (toxic, caustic, flammable);
- Leakage and corrosion.

Regularly check the correct operation of control systems (pressure and temperature). If the use of the
equipment under pressure has an associated risk due to the nature of the fluid and / or operating conditions,
it is recommended to record inspections. The operator must have access at any time to the file (the filter
register / register the equipment under pressure).

5.2 Filter maintenance

In normal use, the filter itself does not need any special maintenance. All parts should be checked regularly to
exclude the presence of corrosion or other damage. Install a new filter element at each change of the product
to be treated or if the filter element becomes dirty and is not the most efficient. The differential pressure (the
difference in pressure before and after filtering) will determine whether that point is reached. EVERBLUE
recommends to change the filter element at a differential pressure of 0.8 / 1.0 bar (maximum pressure
difference of each filter element is indicated in the technical product data sheet).

Always pay attention to the seals and sealing surfaces to ensure they are clean and free of damage.
Damaged seals must be replaced.

Note:

EVERBLUE joins many seal manufacturers in recommending that the seals are replaced whenever a
pressurized container is opened. In practice, the seals are often used many times. This can cause a leaky seal
and system problems.

It is important to verify the correct use of the seal. This is valid for both the dimensions for the gasket material.

If the filter contains movable parts, these must be lubricated to ensure smooth movement. Common grease,
which is compatible with the process, may be used. The parties should not be over greased. We recommend
greasing also for all threads.

The stainless steel bolts must always be greased with a suitable lubricant to prevent premature usury of the
parts.

Operating manual 25/05/2023 - Ed. 1 Rev. 1 Pag. 11 di 29

For a trouble-free operation, it is always necessary to clean and proper maintenance all equipment. In the case
where there is a potential risk for the operators, such as a leakage of the material or the process itself, it is
recommended the documentation of all the maintenance operations, especially the condition of the seals and
the seal surfaces, and the operation of the parts furniture.

If the container is protected from corrosion by a coating layer, it is important to control the surface to identify
possible damage. Any damage to the coating must be repaired by qualified personnel.

Regularly test the safety equipment: the safety systems against excess pressure, pressure measuring
instruments, control devices of the temperature, leakage warning systems, etc. to verify proper operation and
to proceed with the immediate repair in case of failure.

The scheduled maintenance can be defined by codes and national and local regulations or plant. The operator
must make sure to know and respect the regulations.

Maintain the equipment (filter) at least once a year.

Document all maintenance and support.

Register and store all the data on the DATA REGISTER OF THE FILTER

5.3 Periodical inspections

Must be carried out periodic inspections on equipment (filter) to verify its perfect efficiency and integrity.

Periodic inspections must verify that the equipment (filter):

a. works in accordance with the operating parameters given in TECHNICAL product accompanying this
user;

b. not present corrosion, damage, breakage or leakage;

c. has all connections properly secured;

d. has all the latches and closing properly secured.

Periodic inspections should be compulsorily carried out at least once a month.

Also perform daily inspections to verify that the equipment (filter):

1. works in accordance with the operating parameters given in TECHNICAL product accompanying this
user;

2. not present corrosion, damage, breakage or loss;

3. has all connections properly secured;

4. has all the latches and closing properly secured.

Document all inspection operations.

6.0 Technical data

The measures of the equipment (filter) are shown in DRAWING attached to this manual.

Technical information is given in the TECHNICAL PRODUCT DATA SHEET of the equipment (filter)
accompanying this user.

The missing information can be obtained from EVERBLUE providing the model of the device (filter).

7.0 Instructions of use

The filter elements used in the filter are usually made of different materials.

Regardless of the type of filter element used the speed of the flow of process fluid through the filter is a key
factor to achieve satisfactory results, concerning filtering and economic goals. The goal, with few exceptions,
is to maintain the lowest possible speed. A low pressure of the filter enhances the filtering and increases the
duration of the filtering element, thus reducing the operating costs of the entire system.

At the same time, the flow should be as uniform as possible, for a pump power the best choice is a centrifugal
pump piston with respect to the model that provides speed buttons. As a general rule, it is better to avoid as
much as possible irregular or intermittent operations to prevent rapid clogging, incorrect movements or
breakage of the filter elements.

Filtered items used should be disposed of by qualified contractor in accordance with local, state, regional and
/ or provincial.

attached to this manual.

These stages are recommended for start:

1. open the vent valve

2. slowly open the inlet valve (not opening too quickly because sudden loads can damage the filter
medium and the filter). The vent valve must be opened to ensure that no air remains locked in the
upper part of the filter. The valve should be closed as soon as the liquid begins to flow. Is necessary
to take precautions to avoid injury and damage caused by the spray of liquid. If the filter is not vented,
any air in the filter will reduce the efficiency of the filter media. In general, the air introduced in the
system must be vented immediately. When you filter fluids with frequent presence of air, the filter
must be vented regularly;

3. open the outlet valve slowly;

4. since some filtering elements may release particles when they are used for the first time, the discharge
or recirculation of the first filtered liquid is recommended;

 5. verify that the flow rate, the feed pressure, the differential pressure inside the filter does not exceed
the limits of operation of the filter and the filter element installed in it;

6. make sure that there is no leakage of liquid;

7. before sending the filtered liquid use, ensure, through appropriate analysis (TSS -Total suspended
solids, turbidity, particle count, SDI - Silt Density Index), that the quality of the filtered liquid is
responsive to the need of the application;

8. run multiple times a day (recommended every hour) regular analysis (TSS -Total suspended solids,
turbidity, particle count, SDI - Silt Density Index) of the filtered liquid to prevent any kind of problem
and intervene in time to avoid serious damage to equipment and / or systems installed downstream
of the filter (all the data must be recorded and stored).

9. Register all the data of the filter starting and store them into the DATA REGISTER OF THE FILTER

The closing operation of the filters EVERBLUE must be carried out only by qualified and authorized technical
personnel.

OPENING

Before opening the filter make sure that:

a. all the instrumentation, piping and valves are fully functional and in excellent condition;

b. to secure, repair or replace the equipment, piping and valves that presented loss, damage or
malfunction;

The opening operation of the filters EVERBLUE must be carried out only by qualified and authorized technical
personnel.

These stages are recommended for the opening:

1. interrupt the supply of fluid to the filter. Do not perform any type of work on a filter without first
completely stopped functioning and releasing the pressure.

2. slowly close the inlet valve;

3. slowly close the outlet valve;

4. slowly open the vent valve;

5. slowly open the drain valve;

6. make sure that there is no more pressure inside the filter and all the liquid contained in it is completely
ejected;

7. unscrew the RING FP3 (Pos. 4) from HEAD FP (Pos. 1),

8. Remove the FILTER BODY (Pos. 3)

9. remove the filtration cartridge.

10.

WARNING

Respect the local laws and regulations regarding the disposal of the filtration cartridges.
