ARB Approved IOM — HealyNeeder-Root Phase 11 EVR System — VR -202-A (CAS -- 9961) Page 21 <br />OPERATION AND PURGING <br />NORMAL OPERATION: <br />❑ There are four ball valves on the tank. In normal operation, only the valve at the top of the <br />tank shall be open — the other three valves shall be closed. All four valves shall be locked in <br />the above positions. The two plugs should be installed using a non -hardening, UL classified <br />pipe joint compound and tightened to 60 ft -lbs. <br />DRAINING THE BLADDER: <br />❑ Any liquid coming over from the vent system would have collected above the valve in the <br />riser pipe before going into the bladder. An inspection of the need to drain the bladder is <br />easily made by removing the plug at the tee on the bottom plumbing of the tank. Before <br />removing this plug, open the valve above the tee to release any liquid into the piping below. <br />Wait approximately 30 seconds and then close the valve. Now, remove the plug at the tee <br />on the bottom plumbing of the tank — be sure to have a container suitable for gasoline <br />available to catch fluid. If liquid in excess of 16 ounces (473 ml) drains out, the bladder <br />should also be drained. <br />❑ Should it be necessary to drain the bladder: <br />1. Close the upper ball valve (usually open) leading to the tank vent lines. <br />2. Open the valve that goes to the vertical riser that enters the top of the tank (the one <br />without the ball valve going into the tank). Be sure the other three ball valves that <br />connect to the vent lines and tank are closed. <br />3. Remove the plug from the bottom tee and connect an explosion proof evacuation <br />pump capable of handling liquid. Have a liquid tight, container suitable for gasoline <br />positioned to receive any fluid that may exit the system and start the pump. If no liquid <br />returns within 30 seconds, the bladder is dry — discontinue pumping, remove the <br />pump, replace the plug and return the ball valves to their original, locked, positions. <br />DRAINING THE TANK: <br />❑ Should it be necessary to drain the tank (between the bladder and steel wall): <br />1. Close the ball valve at the top of the tank and also the two valves on the vertical risers. <br />2. Remove the plug in the bottom tee and place a metal container below the pipe <br />opening. <br />3. Carefully open the ball valve at the bottom of the tank — observe that the container that <br />is being drained into does not overflow — empty container as required until fluid no <br />longer comes from the pipe when the valve is open. <br />4. Close the ball valve and replace the plug into the tee. <br />5. Return all ball valves to their original locked positions. <br />Healy Systems, Inc.
