PREPARATION OF CLEANING SOLUTIONS
Prepare a volume of cleaning solution to fill the recycle tank or a cleaning tank to its normal
liquid level.
Dilute acid will remove scale or sludge caused by elements that form insoluble carbonates,
sulfates, or hydroxides. Where cyanide or sulfide salts may be present, be sure that dissolution
of the scale will not cause hydrogen cyanide or hydrogen sulfide to be released.
A 2 % solution of sulfamic acid (HS03NH2) in water is prepared by dissolving 18 pounds
of dry sulfamic acid per 100 gallons of solution.
Hydrochloric (muriatic) and sulfuric acids are prepared by adding 2 gallons of 30% acid
per 100 gallons of solution that is required.
A chlorine solution will remove deposits caused by growth of microorganisms (slime). Chlorine
gas may be released if the pH of this solution is not kept above 8-9 units.
A 2% solution of hypochlorite is prepared by adding 13 gallons of 15% commercial
solution per 100 gallons of water.
Other cases than those mentioned above will require individual analysis. It will be necessary to
select a cleaning agent that is compatible with the materials of construction, that is effective for
the particular foulant, and that is safe to use.
The chemicals being added to the cleaning solution may (especially in their concentrated form)
irritate or burn skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, and may stain or destroy clothing. A
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each chemical should be obtained from your supplier.
Observe recommended handling practices. In general:
• Wear safety glasses or goggles, gloves, and protective clothing when working with the
chemicals or equipment which contains or transports them.
• Do not add water to concentrated chemical solutions. Dilution is accomplished by adding the
chemical to water. Since a great deal of heat may be released by this action, take care to
control the rate of addition to allow the heat to dissipate.
• Do not add acids to solutions of hypochlorite. Chlorine vapors may be released. Use caustic
to maintain solution pH.
• Do not mix strong acids with strong alkali. Heat of reaction could cause the solution to boil.
• Do not mix strong oxidizing agents with organic chemicals. Explosive reactions may result.
• When disposing of chemicals, treat them as hazardous wastes.

PACK CLEANING PROCEDURE
The procedure for cleaning the packing in place is as follows:
1. Take the unit off-line.
2. Open the sump drain and discharge the entire contents of the sump to a suitable
wastewater treatment or disposal system.
3. Close the sump drain valve and fill the sump with the cleaning solution. The solution
may be prepared separately or in the vessel pump.
4. Start the cleaning pump. Recirculate the solution through the vessel for at least 3 to 4
hours, although 8 to 10 hours is preferred for best efficiency.
5. Stop the cleaning pump, drain the sump, and inspect the packing. If the packing still
needs cleaning, repeat the procedure.
6. If the packing is clean, refill the sump with fresh water and run the cleaning pump for
a few minutes in order to rinse the unit. Drain the sump and repeat with fresh water.
Finally, drain the sump again.
7. Inspect the unit sump and remove any foreign matter that may have accumulated.
The unit is then ready for start-up.
If the packing must be removed for cleaning, proceed as follows:
1. Take the unit off-line.
2. Open the sump drain and discharge the entire contents of the sump to a suitable
wastewater treatment or disposal system.
3. Remove the packing and dump into a cleaning tank. Flood the tank with cleaning
solution and let stand for at least 3 to 4 hours, although 8 to 10 hours is preferred for
best efficiency. During this time, maintain concentration in the solution by addition
of chemical as needed. Agitation of the solution is helpful.
4. When the packing is clean, drain the cleaning tank and refill with fresh water in order
to rinse the packing material. Repeat with fresh water. Finally, drain the cleaning
tank again.

5. Remove the packing from the cleaning tank and place it in the vessel. The unit is then
ready for start-up.
CLEANING MIST ELIMINATORS
Mist eliminators are manufactured with a variety of media elements. Chevron blades, random -
dumped packing, and mesh pads are all used.
If the unit has a washdown nozzle for the mist eliminator section, or if a cleaning nozzle can be
inserted through the spray header access port, the procedure for cleaning is as follows:
1. Turn fan and pump motors off. Drain the vessel sump.
2. Use only fresh water, wash down the pad for about five to ten minutes, or until the
water from the drain is clean.
3. With inspection doors open, allow the media to drain for several hours. The filter
must be dry before it is placed back into service.
4. Proceed with normal start-up.
5. Check the outlet stack. Some misting may occur for a short period of time. If it lasts
for more than fifteen or twenty minutes, turn unit off and immediately contact the
factory.
6. If this procedure does not work, the media elements must be removed in order to
provide adequate washing and drying.
If the mist eliminator must be removed, or if there is no way to use a washdown nozzle, the
procedure for cleaning is as follows:
1. Turn fan and pump motors off. Drain the sump.
2. Open access doors and remove mist eliminator media, placing the elements into a
cleaning tank. If there are no access doors, it will be necessary to remove the elements
through the exhaust outlet of the vessel, or to construct an access port from which to
remove the elements.

3. Flood the tank with cleaning solution and let stand for at least 3 to 4 hours, although 8
to 10 hours is preferred for best efficiency. During this time, maintain concentration
in the solution by addition of chemical as needed. Agitation of the solution is helpful.
4. Mesh pads should be, cleaned by soaking to ensure that all layers of the pad are
exposed to the cleaning solution. Flexing the pad and/or alternately dipping and
withdrawing it from the solution is effective in loosening scale.
5. If plugging affects only the surface layers of the pad, it is possible to use high-
pressure (up to 250 prig) and high -volume washing to mechanically removal material.
Wash only from the front side of the pad.
6. In cases of severe plugging of a mesh pad, it may be necessary to separate the layers
of the pad for individual cleaning. To facilitate re -installation, do not cut the stitches
in a straight line along one side of the pad. The layers can then be opened like the
leaves of a book to allow cleaning.
7. After they are cleaned, allow the media elements to drain. The mist eliminator must
be dry before it is placed back into service.
8. Proceed with normal start-up.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This guide should help you to resolve problems which operators may have if various parts of the
system fail or are not maintained. Problems with auxiliary equipment should be resolved by
consulting manuals for the particular component.
1. Low removal efficiency.
If the unit is not removing contaminants in accordance with the design basis, you should
check for:
a. Low air flow rate - check appropriate section of this guide.
b. High liquid flow rate - reduce pumping rate.
c. Low packing depth - add packing.
