marked on the dial face, and shall be complete with isolation valve. Each gauge shall have such a
range that the normal operating reading shall be near the midpoint of the range.

One activator/isolator with PVC body and Hypalon diaphragm, rated for continuous operation at
psi and °F, shall be furnished with each gauge. The activator/isolators shall be as
manufactured by Vanton Pump and Equipment.

7.7 Level Switches

Level switches shall be as specified by the odor control scrubber manufacturer.

8.0 CHEMICAL FEED SYSTEM

The odor control manufacturer will supply the new chemical storage system, including the required
pipe, valve, and regulator equipment. The Contractor is responsible for final installation and
connection to the chemical feed line. The Contractor is responsible for final installation and for
furnishing all required pipes, valves, fittings, etc. The chemical feed system shall be as supplied
by DI or WES.

9.0 CONTROLS

Controls and control panels shall be as specified in the odor control system components section
and shall be the responsibility of the odor control manufacturer to interface with the existing
controls.

10.0 INSTALLATION

The scrubber, recirculation pumps, and accessories shall be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.

After final alignment and bolting, scrubber air inlet and liquid piping connections shall be tested
for applied piping stresses by loosening the flange bolts. No stresses shall be transmitted to the

Odor Control E_Book Word 3 Page 15 02/99

scrubber flanges. If any movement or opening of the joints is observed, piping shall be adjusted
to proper fit.

After the applied pipe stresses test and before being placed in operation, the unit will be inspected
by a representative of the equipment manufacturer.

Adjustments to scrubber, pump, or accessory items shall be made as directed by the representative
of the equipment manufacturer or the Engineer.

11.0 TESTING

Prior to shipment, the packed tower scrubber vessel shall be hydrostatically tested by filling the
vessel with water to the top of the air inlet nozzle. The water shall be held for at least 1 hour with
no visible signs of leaks or excessive wall deflection. The Engineer may be present at the
manufacturer’s facility during the testing and shall be notified at least 2 weeks prior to each test.

11.1 Field Tests

Field testing of the packed tower scrubber system is covered in the Odor Control System
Section.
