Operational Procedure:

Use 20 ltrs bubble top can for chlorine

i.
dosing

Measure the height from bottom to neck (of

ii.
20 ltrs BT)

iii. Make nine (9) equal markings from neck to

bottom (9 divisions of 4 cms each)
 Fill the bubble top with Sodium hypo chloride
iv.
solution (Procedure as explained above)

Keep the suction point inside the bubble top

i.
can

v. Run the feed pump

i. Switch ON the chlorine dosing pump

 Check if the level is crossing each mark in
vi.
every two-three hours

Monitoring and removing air lock in dosing tube

If the level is not getting crossed

ii. within two-three hours, this indicates
pump/line might be air locked

iii. Shutdown the plant

 Remove the dosing tube from the
iv.
suction point of the dosing pump

Fill it with sodium hypo chloride

v.
solution in the tube until it overflows

Re-fix the suction point to the dosing

vi.
pump

Remove the dosing tube from the

vii.
discharge point of the dosing pump
viii. Switch ON the dosing pump

Check if the solution is coming out

ix. through the open discharge point of
the pump

x. If not, repeat the points from iii to v

Now, re-fix the dosing tube to the

xi.
discharge point of the dosing pump
 Remove the dosing tube from the
xii.
process line

Hold the end of the tube above the

xiii.
level of dosing pump

xiv. Run the dosing pump until solution

comes out

Close the opening of the tube with
