IPEX Acid Waste Piping Systems

OVERVIEW

SECTION ONE: GENERAL INFORMATION

For more than 30 years, IPEX has provided laboratories throughout North America with complete acid waste systems designed to handle a variety of chemicals. Our Enfield®electrofusion and Labline®mechanical-joint systems rank among the most widely specified systems on the continent. Constructed from flame-retardant polypropylene, these systems offer a comprehensive solution for virtually all chemical waste situations. IPEX PlenumlineTMis a robust acid waste system, made from flame-retardant PVDF thermoplastic, designed for challenging conditions, including highly restrictive return air plenum applications, and high-temperature corrosive chemical waste situations. In addition, each system features advantages of its own:

• Enfield

offers polypro fittings, constructed with a heavy gauge resistance wire that is integral to the socket. These are

considered to be the premier fittings on the market.

• Both Labline

and PlenumlineTMcontain no-heat ElastolivesTMfor quick installation and high performance.

According to standards ASTM E84 and UL 723, piping installed in spaces used as return air plenums must have a flame spread index of 25 or less, and a smoke development index of 50 or less. Plenumline

not only meets these requirements, but also provides designers and contractors with all the traditional benefits associated with thermoplastic systems, including high impact resistance, flexibility, low cost installations, long-term reliability, and exceptional chemical resistance.

Third-party testing reveals that Flame Retardant PVDF exhibits a flame spread index of 5 and a smoke development index of 35, making it particularly well suited to plenum applications.

Where design parameters allow, Flame Retardant PVDF Plenumline

components or standard Flame Retardant PP Enfield®and

Labline®components can be easily integrated into a single comprehensive acid waste system.

Our complete range of products for acid waste includes Neutratank

neutralization tanks, Neutrasystem2TMpH monitoring

equipment and FlowayTMdrains as well as EncaseTMdouble containment systems (contact IPEX for more information on double containment).

This design and installation manual provides up-to-date comprehensive information about IPEX’s acid waste systems. By combining laboratory test results with decades of field experience, IPEX has produced a manual suited to engineers, contractors and distributors alike. All aspects of our acid waste systems are described here — from dimensional data through to installation and testing procedures.

IPEX ACID WASTE SYSTEMS

The IPEX Solution

Changing government regulations and increasing public desire to minimize environmental pollution has necessitated changes in the way chemicals are discharged from industrial and commercial facilities.

IPEX has long been recognized for having the highest quality, most reliable and most comprehensive chemical waste systems available. Whether the problem at hand has necessitated the fast and versatile Labline

Plenumline

Mechanical Joint piping systems, or the microprocessor-controlled

Enfield

jointed system, the end result has been repeatable, trouble-free installations. From an environmental perspective, IPEX manufactures a patented, modular construction double containment piping system, (Encase

, for more information, see Double Containment Piping Systems Manual, Volume VI), that can be used above and below ground to eliminate the possibility of chemical spillage into the environment.

Neutratank

is used for limestone neutralization of chemical waste prior to discharge into the sewer.

While this method of neutralization is very effective, there is a growing need to verify that the chemical discharge is continuously within acceptable pH levels.

Neutrasystem 2

meets this need by analyzing the pH of liquid flow, permanently recording the pH levels encountered, and giving visual and audible alarms to warn maintenance personnel when the pH level is outside of the acceptable range.

Maintenance personnel can then address the situation usually by inserting additional limestone chips.

FRPP & NFRPP Pipe (1-1/2" to 12") FR-PVDF Pipe (1-1/2" to 4")

Our flame retardant PP (green) and PVDF (blue) and non-flame retardant PP (black) Schedule 40 piping is NSF-listed and certified to CSA B181.3 by NSF. Our PP meets ASTM F1412 and D4101 and our PVDF meets ASTM F1673.

Enfield Fittings (1-1/2" to 12")

Enfield Fittings utilize the latest in joining technology. The NSF-listed fittings have a nickel chrome electrical resistance wire integrally in place. Joining is completed by energizing the nickel/chrome wire with a self-diagnostic, microprocessor-controlled, Enfusion control unit which fuses the pipe/fitting surfaces together.

Neutratanks

Neutratanks are made of high-density polyethylene or polypropylene material with one-piece rotationally molded, seamless construction. Neutratanks are available in sizes from 5 gallons to 2,000 gallons to suit most potential design conditions.

GENERAL

INFORMATION

Page 10

Sampling Tank

5-gallon, high-density polyethylene Sampling Tank incorporates a bolt down cover and a series 6510, extended life, removable pH electrode which measures the pH level of the chemical waste before it is discharged into the sewer system.

Removable pH Electrode

The pH electrode is encapsulated in a chemically resistant CPVC body with viton O-rings. Its twist-lock design ensures quick, easy removal and installation of the electrode. The electrode is fast responding, highly efficient and ensures that pH variations are continuously and accurately measured.

Labline and Plenumline Fittings (1-1/2" to 4")

NSF listed, all-plastic construction Labline and Plenumline Fittings allow for rapid (30 second) installation and ensure trouble-free service. The joints can be easily made with our new no-heat Elastolive, even in difficult areas, and can be disassembled and re-used at a later date without spoiling the fittings.

Limestone Chips

Neutratanks should be filled with an approved neutralization agent such as limestone chips, one to three inches in size, to a level just below the tank outlet. Water should then be added to the tank after placement of the neutralization agent. During the course of neutralization, the limestone chips will naturally be exhausted and require replenishment.

Sampling Tank Support

All sampling tanks must be independently supported to avoid undue stressing of the components (support supplied by others).

pH Monitor

The UL-listed, NEMA 4X, pH Monitor measures the pH level of the chemical waste, visually shows pH levels on an analog display and permanently records the results on a 31-day strip chart recorder. The monitor will audibly and visually alarm maintenance personnel when unacceptable pH levels are sensed.

Threaded Manway

Neutratanks can be fitted with covers that incorporate quick-start threads to enable rapid inspection of the tank contents. This feature eliminates the time consuming task of bolt removal and re-assembly associated with conventional tank covers.

IPEX Acid Waste Piping Systems

In certain industries there is little margin for error; all potential for accidents must be eliminated. This is particularly important where radioactive fluid wastes or particularly dangerous chemicals are being conveyed through the waste drainage system.

While Enfield/Labline is the ideal material, our double containment Encase system eliminates problems which may arise from leakage, while at the same time giving a warning that leakage is present in the system.

Encase Double Containment is part of a total integrated single and dual containment approach to above and below ground chemical waste drainage.

In below ground drainage work where the legislative responsibility, environmental impact, and cost of contamination of ground water supplies is of growing concern, Encase Double Containment provides the highest level of safety and integrity possible in handling such materials.

Proven System

Encase double containment utilizes the proven Enfield chemical waste drainage system as the primary and secondary pipework carrier. The secondary pipework is a larger diameter pipe which, holding the primary pipework central with a series of spacers, is also fully sealed by the electrofusion process.

The Enfield electrofusion jointing process has been proved over the last 35 years in many installations throughout the world. It has been confirmed to be superior to butt fusion and other electrofusion methods.

Encase Double Containment systems are available with our Centra-Guard detection system. For additional informaiton on the Encase Double Containment Systems, please see IPEX Technical Manual Volume VI: Double Containment Piping Systems.

INFORMATION

IPEX Acid Waste Piping Systems

Chemical Resistance

Thermoplastics have outstanding resistance to a wide range of chemical reagents. Such resistance is a function of both temperature and concentration, and there are many reagents which can be handled for limited temperature ranges and concentrations.

Chemical resistance is often affected (and frequently reduced) when handling a number of chemicals or compounds containing impurities. When specific applications are being considered, therefore, it is often worthwhile to conduct tests using the actual fluid that will be used in service.

PP is generally high in chemical resistance. It is capable of handling a pH ranging from 1 to 13 being resistant to organic solvents as well as acids and alkalies. Due to its general sensitivity to oxidizing agents, special care must be taken when using it with strong acids and hydrocarbons containing helides and aromatic groups.

Many factors can affect the chemical resistance of materials. These include, but are not limited to, exposure time, concentration of chemical, extremes of temperature, frequency of temperature cycling, attrition due to abrasive particles, and the type of mechanical stress imposed. The fact that certain combinations of chemicals and mechanical load can induce stress cracking in many otherwise chemically resistant materials, both metallic and nonmetallic, is of particular significance. In general, the broader molecular weight distribution of Plenumline FR-PVDF resin will result in greater resistance to stress cracking.

In borderline cases, there may be limited attack, generally resulting in some swelling due to absorption. There are also many cases where some attack will occur under specific conditions. For such applications, the use of plastic is often justified on economic grounds when considered against alternative materials.

SECTION THREE: DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

The degree of thermal expansion or contraction also depends on the system temperature differential, as well as the length of pipe run between changes in direction. It can be calculated using the following formula:

ΔL = Y

(T - F)

10 100

where: ΔL = expansion rate (in)

Y = expansion factor expressed in inches of

expansion per 10°F temperature change per 100 ft. of pipe

T = maximum temperature (ºF)

F = minimum temperature (ºF)

L = length of pipe run (ft)

Note: Remember to allow for contraction when piping is to be exposed to temperatures substantially below installation temperature.

Example 1:

How much expansion can be expected in 215 feet of 3" diameter FRPP pipe installed at 75°F and operating at 135°F?

Y = 0.680

Solution:

ΔL = 0.680 x 60x

215

= 0.680 x 6 x 2.15 = 8.77 inches

10 100

All piping products expand and contract with changes in temperature. Linear expansion and contraction of any pipe on the longitudinal axis relates to the coefficient of thermal expansion (e) for the specific material used in the manufacturing of the product. Variation in pipe length due to thermal expansion or contraction depends on the linear expansion factor (Y) and the variation in temperature (ΔT). It should be noted that change in pipe diameter or wall thickness does not effect a change in rates of thermal expansion or contraction.

In general, acid waste piping systems are not normally subjected to large temperature variations. Inherent flexibility of the system is usually sufficient to accommodate anticipated expansion or contraction. However, consideration must be given in situations where substantial temperature variations may exist.

Approximate coefficients of thermal expansion for different pipe materials are presented below.

Thermal Movement

There are various ways to accommodate expansion and contraction in acid waste systems.

They are:

• Expansion Offsets

• Expansion Loops

• Expansion Joints

Expansion Offset

Flame retardant polypropylene expands at a unit rate of 0.720 in. per 10ºF (-6.5ºC) change per 100 ft of pipe. This can be accommodated by using the flexibility of polypropylene pipe at changes in pipe direction. Install the system free of strain using loose fitting pipe clips allowing the pipe to float.

When total temperature change is less than 30°F (-17ºC), special provisions for accommodating thermal expansion are not generally required, especially when the line includes several directional changes and thus provides considerable inherent flexibility. Caution should be exercised with threaded connections, as they are more vulnerable to failure by bending stresses. Where such conditions exist, it is advisable to use a flanged connection.

Expansion Loops

Normally, piping systems are designed with sufficient directional changes providing inherent flexibility to compensate for expansion and contraction. However, when this is not the case or when there is reasonable doubt as to adequate flexibility of the system, expansion loops or expansion joints should be designed into the system. If an expansion loop (fabricated with 90° elbows and straight pipe as depicted) is used, the length R should be determined by using the following formula to ensure it is of sufficient length to absorb expansion and contraction movement without damage.

R = K D ΔL

K = Material constant: 1.44 for PP, 1.85 for PVDF

R = Expansion loop leg length (ft.)

D = Nominal outside diameter of pipe (in.)

ΔL = Dimensional change due to thermal expansion or

contraction (in.)

/2 R

Example 3:

For 3" SCH 40 FRPP pipe, ΔT = 70°F, run = 100', ΔL = 5.04

How long should the expansion loop legs be in order to compensate for the expansion?

R = 1.44 3.50 x 4.76 = 1.44 16.66 = 5.87 ft.

A =

/2 R A = 2.935 ft

In situations where straight runs of pipe are long or the ends of a straight run are restricted from movement or where the system is restrained, flexibility must be inserted into a pipe system through the introduction of flexural offsets. An example of a method for inserting flexibility in these situations is graphically presented. In each case, rigid supports or restraints should not be placed within the leg length of an expansion loop, offset or bend.

Expansion Joints

Enfield Polypropylene pipe systems are installed in several different climates across North America. As a result, these systems must contend with expansion and contraction brought about by temperature change. To overcome this problem and avoid possible damage to the installation, Enfield Expansion Joints are specifically designed to eliminate the stresses and strains caused by thermal movement.

When an expansion joint is installed, care should be taken in the fixing of the pipe to ensure an accurate linear “thrust and pull” movement. Any pipe clamp should allow the pipe to slide freely. The housing of the expansion joint on the other hand should always be firmly anchored to allow the sliding member to accept any movement.

On stack installations, where expansion and contraction are a concern, an expansion joint should be installed at every floor level where the stack is connected. If there are no connections, an expansion joint should be installed at every second floor level.

In vertical applications, cut-off access must be designed to ensure hydrostatic test pressure does not exceed 4.33 psi. A common method to achieve this is to install a cleanout every 10 feet in the stack.

Correct “piston-in” and “piston-out” position at the time of installation is critical and can be calculated by the formula:

P = M – A x L

where: P = “out” position of inner tube in inches

M = maximum temperature

A = installation temperature

T = total temperature change

L = length of traverse in expansion joint in inches

Example 2:

Assume that a pipeline will be installed in an unheated, exposed building with a metal roof where temperatures range from 10°F in the winter, to 110°F in the summer. If installation temperature is 70°F, the pipe will contract over a 60° temperature range during cold weather and will expand over a 40° temperature range during the summer. Consequently, three-fifths of the line movement will be on the contraction side or “piston-in” position, while the remainder will be expansion. The expansion joint provides for various lengths of movement. As a result, the inner tube should be pulled out approximately half of the total movement expected when the joint is installed.

Highest temperature expected: 110°F

Lowest temperature expected: 40°F

Total Change (ΔT): 70°F

Length of run: 100 feet

A 70°F ΔT on the Thermal Expansion chart (previous page) corresponds to a 4.76" change in length (ΔL).

Installing Expansion Joints

1. The direction of fluid flow through the expansion joint shall be from the dust cap end to the electrofusion or mechanical joint end. For example, if the expansion joint is being installed on a vertical system, the dust cap will be on the top.

2. Ensure the pipe and expansion joint are clean and free of debris.

3. The pipe is marked to show the maximum limit of travel.

4. Withdraw the pipe per the table below for the given temperature during installation.

5. Reinstall the dust cap on the expansion joint.

6. Securely anchor the expansion joint with a metal clamp. The diameter and the maximum width of the clamp are shown in the table below. See the anchor placement noted on the drawing. The expansion joint only becomes functional when it is securely mounted.

Compared to traditional pipe materials, the thermal conductivity of thermoplastic is low and acts as an insulator. This insulating property of plastic provides a distinct advantage over traditional materials to retard or prevent “sweating” or formation of condensation. The need for insulation may, in certain instances, be completely eliminated by using plastic. Thermal conductivity is expressed as BTU/hr./sq.ft./ºF/in. where BTU/hr. or British Thermal Unit per hour is defined as energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water (12 gallons x specific gravity) one Fahrenheit degree in one hour. Square feet refers to one square foot where heat is being transferred. Inch refers to one inch of pipe wall thickness. As pipe wall thickness increases, thermal conductivity decreases.

The coefficients of thermal conductivity of some materials used in drainage piping are:

Copper, a good conductor of heat, will lose 2,700 BTU per hour per square foot of surface area with a wall thickness of 1" while PP will lose only 1.2 BTU/hr.

SYSTEM SIZING

Manning Roughness Factor

Piping systems for drainage applications usually consist of minimal to half pipe capacity flow. These discharge systems are designed to be horizontal or slightly sloping. Friction loss for open channel flow can be determined by the Manning formula as follows:

where: V = the average velocity at a cross section (ft./sec.)

R = the hydraulic radius (ft.)

S = slope (ft./ft.)

n = the coefficient of roughness

The Manning formula is used for liquids in a steady flow at constant depth. Values of the coefficient n, determined by many tests on actual pipes, are given in the following table.

The high carrying capacity of plastic piping often results in the use of flatter grades or in the use of smaller diameter pipe.

PIPE SUPPORTS AND SUPPORT SPACING

General Principles of Design and Support

Thermoplastics have very different mechanical and physical properties compared to metals. Special attention should be given to ways of dealing with their inherent higher thermal expansion rates and lower pipe stiffness.

If the principles used for design and support of metal pipe systems are applied directly to thermoplastic pipes, severe problems may arise. Therefore, all warranties are contingent upon adopting the following support procedures and recommendations.

Supporting Pipes

The high coefficient of thermal expansion of plastic compared with metals may result in considerable expansion and contraction of the pipe runs as the temperature changes.

The principle is to control expansion by restraining the pipe in the lateral direction while allowing free axial movement.

A hanger-type support does not provide lateral restraint to the pipe, but it does encourage snaking and should be avoided whenever possible.

The diagram below illustrates preferred and non-preferred support arrangements.

In some cases, it may be physically impossible or impractical to install a rigid support in between two widely spaced columns. In this event hanger rods with loose fitting clips should be used.

The frequency of supports for plastic pipes is greater than for metal pipes. The recommended maximum distance between supports for pipes filled with water is given in the table (See Recommended Maximum Support Spacing) and applies to pipes and contents at the temperature stated.

Pipe supports should be installed so that the horizontal piping is in uniform alignment and with a uniform slope of at least 1/8" per foot, or in accordance with the local plumbing codes or authority having jurisdiction.

Calculation of Support Spacing

L = [(SL x E x I) / (1.302 x Wt)]

where:

L = Length between supports, ‘Span Length’, ft.

SL = Sag Limit, the maximum permitted vertical

deflection allowed across a span, expressed as a percentage of the span length

E = Modulus of elasticity of the pipe material, psi

OD = Outside Diameter of the pipe, in.

BSL = Bending Stress Limit on a span of pipe under a

given load, psi

I = Moment of Inertia, in

= 0.04909 x (OD4- ID4)

Wt = Unit Weight, lb/in.

=πx [δ-pipe x (OD

- ID2) + δ-fluid x ID2]

δ-pipe = Density of pipe material, lb/in

δ-fluid = Density of the fluid, lb/in

ID = Inside diameter of the pipe, in.

PIPE CLIPS AND HANGERS

Pipe Clips

All pipe clips should permit free axial pipe movement at all temperatures and should provide adequate bearing support to the pipe.

Metal clips and supports should be free of sharp edges to prevent damaging the pipe.

Cobra Pipe Clips

Good installation of plastic piping is largely dependent on the types of support and pipe clips selected. Clips should not grip the pipe tightly; but allow free axial pipe movement as the pipe expands and contracts. Correctly placed anchors, expansion loops and free pipe lengths at changes in direction, can then control expansion, thereby avoiding unsightly pipe snaking.

The Cobra clip allows this free pipe movement by minimizing friction between pipe and clip.

Also, the Cobra clip has an efficient single point fixing, with a snap-in design that allows for rapid installation. Several Cobra clips can be fixed in place and full lengths of pipe snapped easily into position.

Locate

Insert pipe into the open Cobra clip until it seats on the open jaws.

Snap In

Apply slight pressure to snap in pipe and force jaws to close and lock.

Retain

Fit retaining strap on clip sizes 1" and above.

1. Clips of size 1" and above are fitted with retaining strap.

2. Use machine, tapping or wood screws with flat or oval head. Use bolts to suit clip recess.

Recommended Pipe Hangers

Clamps used as anchors (such as U-bolts, etc.), if over-tightened, can produce a point-of-load stress on the pipe. This can result in cracking or premature burst failure. If U-bolts must be used, then a metal shield should be placed between the U-bolt and pipe surface. When anchoring plastic pipe, it is always desirable to spread the load over a wide area of contact.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Thermoplastics are strong, lightweight materials, about one fifth the weight of steel or cast iron. Piping made of this material is easily handled and, as a result, there is a tendency for it to be thrown about on the jobsite. Care should be taken in handling and storage to prevent damage to the pipe. Some general guidelines are as follows:

• If stored outdoors, best practice dictates that Enfield and Labline pipe and fittings be covered with a protective cover that is well ventilated. Ideally, pipe and fittings should always be stored inside a building or materials storage trailer.

• Make sure the pipe is adequately supported at all times. Avoid stacking pipe in large piles, since the pipe at the bottom may incur high loads. Store on level support to prevent sagging or bending.

• For long-term storage, use pipe racks to support the pipe continuously along its length. If this is not possible, supports of at least 3 in. bearing width, at spacings not greater than 3 ft centers, are recommended. Pipe should not be stored more than seven layers high. Sharp corners on metal racks should be avoided.

• Pipe is often supplied in crates. Take care when unloading crates, and avoid using metal slings or wire ropes. Crates may be stacked four high in the field.

• Exercise care while handling pipe. Damage may occur if pipe collides with sharp corners, or is dropped.

• Drainage applications require that the pipe lengths be installed with the required amount of pitch, or fall, to achieve proper drainage flow. Storing pipe in direct sunlight may result in development of bowing or curving within pipe lengths. Bowing or curving may impede the ability to correctly pitch the pipe to achieve proper drainage flow.

• Extra care should be taken when unloading and handling pipe in cold weather. The impact strenght for FRPP, NFRPP and FR-PVDF is reduced at lower temperatures. Dropping pipe from a truck or forklift may cause damage. Methods and techniques normally used in warm weather may not be acceptable at lower temperature range.

IPEX Acid Waste Piping Systems

DESIGN

CONSIDERATIONS

Prolonged Outdoor Exposure

Prolonged exposure of Enfield and labline FRPP and NFRPP to the direct rays of the sun will not damage the pipe material. However, some mild discoloration may take place in the form of a milky film on the exposed surfaces. This change in color merely indicates that there has been a harmless chemical transformation at the surface of the pipe. A small reduction in impact strength could occur at the discolored surfaces; but it is of a very small order and can be removed during the joining process.

Unlike many other thermoplastic materials, FR-PVDF is not susceptible to degradation due to UV exposure. Therefore, prolonged exposure of FR-PVDF pipe to the direct rays of the sun will not damage the pipe. For purposes of cleanliness however, it is good practice to keep pipe and fittings under a well ventilated protective cover when stored outdoors.

Painting

PP pipe and fittings can be easily protected from ultraviolet oxidation by painting with a heavily pigmented, exterior water-based latex paint. The color of the paint is not important; the pigment merely acts as an ultraviolet screen and prevents sunlight discoloration. White or some other light color is recommended since it helps reduce pipe temperature. The latex paint must be thickly applied as an opaque coating on pipe and fittings that have been cleaned well, very lightly sanded, and primed with a latex base primer.

Page 57

BELOW GROUND INSTALLATION

Trenching

The trench bottom should be continuous, relatively smooth, and free of rocks. Where ledge rock, hardpan or boulders are encountered, the trench bottom should be padded using a minimum of 4" of tamped earth or sand beneath the pipe.

Trenches under slabs should allow for a 12" depth of cover over the pipe. In open locations, the trench depth should allow for the top of the pipe to be at least 12" below the maximum expected depth of frost penetration.

Pipe installed beneath surfaces which could be subjected to extremely heavy static weight or constant traffic should be shielded within a metal or concrete casing.

Backfilling

Fill piping with water of an ambient soil temperature and check joints. Cover to a depth of 6" to 8" with dirt which is free from rocks, debris or particles larger than

/2". At this point in the proceedings, all joints should remain exposed for inspection. Leave piping to settle and normalize dimensionally, then check all joints for tightness and tamp soil layer which will act as a cushion for subsequent backfill. While tamping, see that pipe alignment, both vertical and horizontal, is not disturbed.

Compacting the Backfill

Compact the haunching, initial backfill and final backfill using manual equipment in accordance with the job drawings. Observe the following precautions.

1. When a “self-compacting” material is used, such as crushed stone, ensure that the material does not arch or bridge beneath the haunch of the pipe. Remove such voids with the tip of a spade.

2. When compacting the material underneath and at either side of the pipe do not allow the tool or the machine to strike the pipe.

3. When compaction in excess of 85% standard proctor density is required in the haunching area ensure that the compacting effort does not dislodge the pipe from the correct grade. If the compacting effort dislodges the pipe, re-lay the pipe to the correct grade.

4. It is not necessary to compact the initial backfill directly over the top of the pipe for the sake of the pipe’s structural strength. However, it may be necessary for the sake of building/roadway integrity.

When laying long runs of piping in elevated air temperatures, it is advisable to begin working from a fixed point

such as the entry or exit from a building, and work away from that point, testing and backfilling in accordance with preceding paragraphs. This procedure should then allow the piping to assume soil temperature progressively as work proceeds.

Final Backfill

Thoroughly test the system for leaks. When satisfied, cover all joints with soil and finally proceed with the remainder of backfill. Large sharp rocks which could penetrate the initial layer and damage the pipe should be removed prior to the final backfill.

Standard Enfield Electrofusion

To ensure professional installation, make sure all installers have undergone training by IPEX in the correct handling, joining and installation methods of IPEX thermoplastic products.

Enfield fittings are manufactured with an integral resistance wire, molded in place using a proprietary manufacturing process. The wire is electrically heated by means of a microprocessor controlled Enfusion Control Unit. This results in fusion and bonding of the pipe to the fitting. A permanent joint is achieved within minutes.

The Enfield joint achieves the optimum level of performance where it matters most __at the fitting socket / pipe spigot interface. There is a controlled fit, controlled temperature and controlled time. All of this is achieved by means of the Enfusion Control Unit, which ensures proper electrical connections, joint timing and input/output current levels. The combination of these features provides both simplicity of jointing and perfect control. The result is an unparalleled level of joint repeatability.

Job Site Precautions

1. Do not use unit in a gaseous environment as there is a

RISK OF EXPLOSION.

2. The unit is a Class 1 device, and must be used with a

grounded power supply.

3. Only use a hydrostatic test on the system.

TESTING WITH AIR IS DANGEROUS FOR A POLYPROPYLENE (PP) ACID WASTE SYSTEM.

4. Store pipe and fittings out of direct sunlight. If material

is stored outside, it should be covered with a light colored opaque tarp. If the ambient temperature exceeds 100ºF (37ºC), make provisions to allow air to circulate beneath the tarp.

5. Handle the Enfusion Hand Held machine carefully.

DO NOT TAMPER! Call your IPEX representative for machine service.

6. DO NOT MIX BRANDS. Good joints can only be made

using Enfield pipe, fittings and clamps. Mixing brands voids all warranties.

7. Software version V1.19 on the handheld Enfusion

control unit will automatically adjust the fusion cycle time to the ambient temperature. The pipe, fittings and Enfusion control unit processor must all be allowed to acclimatise to the same temperature.

SECTION FOUR: INSTALLATION

ENFUSION HAND HELD CONTROL UNIT

The IPEX Enfusion hand held control unit is supplied with a 33 ft (10m) output lead and a hand held control unit weighing approximately

2.2lbs (1kg). The hand held unit, along with the fusion processor, are stored in a durable plastic case for easy handling and transport.

Introduction

Proper installation is key to producing a reliable and long lasting acid waste system. If the installation is not done correctly, the system will not perform well and may actually fail.

Before making the Enfield joint, it is important to check with an RMS meter, that the power source is providing between 96 and 162 volts @ 40 to 70 cycles with 11-amp capacity. The Enfusion hand held control unit provides for normal power variations, however generators should be checked to assure the correct output is always being provided.

1. Completely unwind all cables from the Enfusion hand held machine's case before use.

2. Using a suitable mitre saw/chop saw or tube cutter designed for plastic, cut the pipe square making sure to remove all burrs and loose material. Do not chamfer.

3. Using 60-grit emery cloth, prepare the end of the pipe by removing dirt and oil (important to obtain a good bonding surface) and roughing up an area equal to 1.5 times the fitting's socket depth. Clean the roughed up area with ethyl or isopropyl alcohol to ensure complete removal of grease and residue. Once treated do not handle this area of the pipe or allow it to get dirty.

4. Insert the pipe all the way to the stop at the bottom of the socket of the fitting.

5. Decide whether single or multiple joints are being made. In case of multiple joints consult the “Multiple Joints Fusion” section that follows for cable connections and maximum allowable number of simultaneous joints.

6. Loosely fit IPEX-supplied clamp(s) only over the hub(s) of the socket(s) to be fused (Figure 1).

Note: The clamp should be positioned flush with the edge of the fitting. The clamp must be tightened sufficiently to prevent the pipe from rotating inside the fitting. Wheel handle clamps should not be used.

7. Tighten the clamp(s). A tight clamp is essential to the quality of the joint. It should not be possible to rotate the pipe inside the fitting socket when the clamp is fully tightened.

8. Turn the Enfusion hand held control unit on and observe the copyright message and the software version being displayed as the machine runs a self-diagnostic test.

9. Following the “CONNECT LEADS AND FITTINGS” instruction on the display, connect the output leads (Figure 2). If required, connect link cable for multiple fusions.

IPEX has developed a revision to its fusion machine software. Your machine will display the software version upon start up, the most recent version being V1.19 (2014). This revision removes the need to select a size range, and automatically adjusts the fusion time based on ambient temperature. Allow time for the machine pipe and couplings to acclimatise.

With software UPDATE V1.19 (2014)

Once the leads are connected and you are ready to begin

the fusion process. The machine will automatically check to ensure a connection is present and measure the ambient air temperature to set the fusion time.

Without software UPDATE

Machines that have NOT been updated will require you

to “SELECT SIZE”. IPEX recommends the use of the 3" to 12" size range for all

fittings regardless of size. (example: 1.5" fittings should use the 3" to 12" selection)

11. To begin the fusion cycle press START. Time will begin to count down to zero.

12. Upon completion of the fusion cycle an audible alarm will sound and the message “WELD COMPLETE DISCONNECT LEADS” will be displayed. A 30 second rest period must be observed to allow the joint(s) to cool efore disconnecting the leads. The Enfusion machine will automatically reset, ready for the next operation.

13. Allow five additional minutes before removing the clamps so that the joint can sufficiently cool and properly cure.

Note: If leads are accidentally disconnected during the fusion process "Reconnect Lead & Press Start" will appear and a 120 second countdown will begin on the Enfusion hand held control unit. Reconnect leads and press START to continue the fusion cycle fusion.

If leads are reconnected during the countdown, the fusion machine will automatically assess how long the fusion cycle must be depending on how long the leads have been disconnected. If the leads are not reconnected during the countdown the machine will sound an audible alarm and restart the fusion cycle time. Prior to re-fusing, 1-1/2" – 3" fittings should cool for 5 minutes and 4" – 12" fittings should cool for 7 minutes. The Enfusion Control Unit should be reset by shutting it off and following instructions from step 8 onwards.

Enfield Fusion Times

With the update to the fusion machine software (V1.19,

2014), fusion times are now standard across all sizes. Fusion times will however vary based on the ambient air temperature. As the temperature goes up the fusion time will go down, conversely, as the temperature goes down the time will go up. As a reference: at 73

F (23oC) the fusion time is

125 seconds.

The chart indicates the number of joints for each side that can be fused at one time.

Attach the connector leads and link cable leads to fitting terminals as shown in Figure 4.

The link cables should be

connected in series.

Follow the fusion procedure, as outlined

in steps 1-13, to complete the multiple fusion.

Multiple Joints Across Different Sizes

With the update to the fusion machine software (V1.19, 2014), fusion times are now standard across all sizes, as such the combination of different size fittings that can be fused at the same time is much less restricted.

Any number of fittings or combination of sizes is now possible, provided that when you add the joint diameter sizes up – the total does not exceed 12.

Example A

1 x 8

and 1 x 4" = 12.

Therefore one 8" fusion joint and one 4" fusion joint could be done at the same time.

Example B

1 x 8" and 2 x 3" = 14. Therefore one 8" fusion joint and two 3" fusion joints could

not be done at the same time.

Example C

2 x 1.5" and 2 x 4" = 11. Therefore two 1.5" fusion joints and two 4" fusion joints

could be done at the same time.

Example D

1 x 2" and 2 x 6" = 14. Therefore one 2" fusion joint and two 6" fusion joints could

not be done at the same time.

FAULT CODE ANALYSIS

FAULT NUMBER AND CODE ACTION

0 WELD OK No Fault, weld completed OK.

STUCK BUTTON ON START UP

This fault shows when the power is first switched on. Either the Stop, Start, or a keypad button is stuck in. Free the button to clear the fault.

OUTPUT FAULT BEFORE WELD START

This fault shows when the power is first switched on. The unit will check the output relay to make sure it is working correctly. If this fault happens, then the internal power relays have pulled in to the closed position. Return unit for service.

4 NO CALIBRATION

This fault happens when the unit has no calibration. This normally not show, and it the unit has been calibrated, would be caused by a fault with the internal memory. Return unit for service.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH

If this ambient is measured at over +50ºC (122ºF) then this fault will show.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE TOO LOW

If the ambient is measured at below -20ºC (-4ºF) then this fault will show.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE FAU LT

This fault is shown if the temperature is measured as less than -100ºC (-148ºF) or more than +100ºC (212ºF). This effectively means a short circuit or open circuit sensor.

LOW SUPPLY FREQUENCY <40HZ

The unit has detected that the supply frequency is below 40 Hz. This will normally be caused by a poor quality generator. If this fault happens, then check the supply or change the generator.

HIGH SUPPLY FREQUENCY >70HZ

The unit has detected that the supply frequency is above 70 Hz. This will normally be caused by a poor quality generator. If this fault happens, then check the supply or change the generator.

HI SUPPLY VOLTAGE >140V

The unit has detected that the supply voltage is more than 140 volts. Check the supply voltage and if necessary use a different generator.

LOW SUPPLY VOLTAGE <95V

This vault can be caused by a few problems. It could be that the generator is running slowly and so the supply voltage is low. Try speeding the generator up or use a different generator.

It could also be caused by a generator that is too small. If a large fitting is welded, then a large amount of power will be needed from the generator. If it can not supply this power, then it will stall and the voltage will drop away. Check that the generator is the correct size, if needs be try another generator.

It could be caused by the use of long extension leads. If a large fitting is welded, then a high current will be taken from the supply. If extension leads are used, three will be a volts drop down the lead making the unit sense a low supply voltage. Try not to use extension leads with the unit. If you have to, then use just 30 feet of cable, the same size fitted to the unit.

RELAY FAILED TO LATCH ON WELD START

This fault could happen when the start button is pressed. If the main power relays do not operate correctly, then this fault will be shown. Return unit for service.

WELDING CURRENT EXCESSIVE (>150%)

This fault will happen if the welding current is more than 50% high for more than 0.3 seconds. this fault is normally caused by a fault with the unit, a short circuit triac. Return unit for service.

WELDING CURRENT HIGH (>125%)

This fault will happen if the welding current is more than 25% high for more than 1 second. This fault is normally caused by a fault within the unit, a short circuit triac. Return unit for service.

WELDING CURRENT HIGH (>112.5%)

This fault will happen if the welding current is more than 6.25% high for more than 2 seconds. this fault will normally be caused by a poor quality generator with the supply voltage fluctuating. Try a different generator.

WELDING CURRENT HIGH (>106.25%)

WELDING CURRENT HIGH (>101.5%)

This fault will happen if the welding current is more than 1.5% high for more than 3 seconds. This fault will normally be caused by a poor quality generator with the supply voltage fluctuating. Try a different generator.

USER STOP BUTTON PRESSED

The operator has pressed the stop button.

26 RELAY UNLATCHED

During welding, if the main power relay disconnects, then this fault will be shown. It could be caused by the unit being knocked or a temporary dip in the power supply.

27 FITTING OPEN CIRCUIT

This fault is shown if the output lead disconnects from the fitting while welding. Follow the guidelines from this manual to reconnect the lead and try welding again.

WELDING CURRENT LOW (<98.5%)

This fault will happen if the welding current is more than 1.5% low for more than 3 seconds. This can be caused by a generator that is not big enough to supply the required power to the fitting. Check the size of the generator and if needs be try another generator. It can also be caused by using long extension leads with the unit. It is recommended that only 30 feet of extension are used, and the cable should be the same thickness as the input lead on the unit.

WELDING CURRENT LOW (<50%)

This fault will happen if the welding current is more than 50% low for more than 1 second. It can be caused by a faulty fitting. Try another fitting. If this doesn’t clear the fault then there is a problem inside the unit. Return unit for service.

ENFIELD TESTING

The purpose of a site pressure test is to establish that all joints have been correctly made.

Hydrostatically (water) test in accordance with local plumbing code or with authority having jurisdiction; but not exceeding a maximum of 10 ft of head pressure. After making the first 20 or 30 joints, it is highly recommended that a test be applied to ensure that the joint-making technique is satisfactory. If a leak is discovered, follow the appropriate procedure below.

Hydrostatic testing of the joints can be performed 10 minutes after the final joint has been completed. The low pressure testing procedure detailed below should be strictly followed.

1. Fully inspect the installed piping for evidence of mechanical abuse and suspect joints.

2. Split the system into convenient test sections, not exceeding 1,000 feet. The piping should be capped off with an expandable plug at the end of the pipe section to be tested.

3. Prior to starting the test in below grade applications, straight lengths of pipe should be backfilled between fittings that are tested.

4. Slowly fill the pipe section with water, taking care to evaluate all trapped air in the process. Use air release valves in any high spots in the system. Do not pressurize at this stage.

5. Leave the pipe for at least one hour to allow an equilibrium temperature to be achieved.

6. Visually check the system for leaks.

7. Pressurize the system to a suggested maximum of 10 feet of head by means of a standard 10' standing water test using a 10' vertical riser, or a low-pressure hand pump.

8. Leave the line at 10 feet of head for a period of 2 hours, during which time the water level should not change (standing water test), nor should the pressure gauge reading change (hand pump test).

9. If there is a significant drop in pressure, or extended times are required to achieve the desired pressure, either joint leakage has occurred or air is still entrapped in the line. In this event inspect for joint leaks. If none are found, check for entrapped air – these air pockets must be removed prior to continuing the test.

10. If joints are found to be leaking, the system must be fully drained and the joints repaired. Dry, or marginally

fused Enfield joints can be re-fused by following steps

5 through 13 in the Standard Enfield Electrofusion Installation procedure. To remove moisture from the

joint, use the drying cycle.

• To dry the Enfield joint jusing the handheld Enfusion machine with software V1.17 or earlier, the drying cycle can be accessed by starting and stopping a regular fusion cycle within 2 seconds.

• To dry the Enfield joint using the handheld Enfusion machine with software V1.19, users need to connect the leads and fittings. The machine will prompt the user to “PRESS START”. The user needs to press the “SELECT” button and then “START” button immediately after. The drying cycle will appear with a 45 second count down.

• Allow the joint to cool.

• NEVER use compressed air or gas in Enfield, Labline, or Plenumline pipes, fittings, or accessories.

• NEVER test Enfield, Labline, or Plenumline systems with compressed air or gas, or air-over-water boosters.

• ONLY use Enfield, Labline, or Plenumline systems for approved chemicals.

Use of compressed air or gas in PP or PVDF pipe and fittings can result in explosive failures and cause severe injury or death.

• Now re-fuse using the correct Enfusion machine settings for the size of pipe being joined following steps 5-13 of the Standard Enfield Electrofusion Installation procedure.

• Should any of the re-welded fitting(s) fail the second hydro-test, the leaking joint(s) can be back-welded with a hot-air gun and welding rod. Should the back-welded joint(s) fail a third hydro-test, they will need to be cut out of the system and substituted with new fittings.

• If a joint has be to cut out and replaced, the procedure for pipe modification detailed in this manual should be strictly followed.

11. Repeat the 10 feet head test after repairing any leaking joints, following the procedure described above.

ENFIELD PIPE REPAIR

In the unlikely event of a leak, Enfield piping systems can be easily repaired.

Procedure:

1. Determine exact location of leak. For below grade

installation excavate the ground near the pipe leak, taking care not to cause damage to the piping system in the process. Hand digging is suggested. The ground should be excavated to a depth of at least 6" below the bottom of the pipe.

2. Measure the length of pipe to be removed then cut

completely and SQUARELY through the pipe sections. Remove the damaged section of pipe.

3. Mark a pencil line on the

end of both open ends of the pipe to locate the joining position for the repair couplings. The pencil line should be at the following distance from the pipe ends.

4. Slide one repair coupling over the exposed spigots of the

two pipe sections.

5. Measure, prepare and insert a pipe spool piece into the line to be repaired.

6. Slide the repair couplings into position between the pencil lines previously drawn on the pipe ends. Place the clamps over the repair couplings. Tighten the clamps and fuse the joints using the correct Enfusion machine settings.

7. Remove the hub clamps after allowing the joint to cool for 10 minutes.

8. If buried below ground, surround the pipe with pea gravel, then backfill and consolidate.

LABLINE AND PLENUMLINE JOINTS

To ensure professional installation, make sure all installers have undergone training by IPEX in the correct handling, joining and installation methods of IPEX thermoplastic products.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

a. YELLOW & BLUE ELASTOLIVES DO NOT REQUIRE PRE-HEATING.

If heated, maximum temperature should not exceed 175°F. (79°C)

b. YELLOW LABLINE AND BLUE PLENUMLINE ELASTOLIVES ARE

NOT

INTERCHANGEABLE

c. The pipe end should be clean and there should be no

deep longitudinal grooves in it.

d. It is desirable to use a chain vise to hold 3" and 4" pipe

firmly during cutting and grooving operations. When grooving 1-1/2" and 2" pipe, a strap wrench should be used to hold the pipe to prevent its rotation.

e. After grooving, the pipe should be kept clean so that

foreign material is not introduced into the groove.

f. Ensure the grooving tool has a sharp blade to make a

clean-shouldered groove.

g. The cutting blade should always be fully retracted

whenever the tool is put on or taken off the pipe. If any resistance is felt when putting the tool onto the pipe or taking it off, the blade position should be checked.

h. Each nut must be fully tightened as the installation

progresses. Do not assemble the system loosely and tighten nuts last, as layout length errors will go undiscovered until such time as the nuts are finally tightened. Avoid misalignment.

i. When tightening fittings, the dry fitting surfaces tend to

bind against each other preventing the nuts from being fully tightened. To overcome this, either IPEX Acid Waste Lubricant or IPEX approved petroleum jelly should be used on fitting threads and elastolives. The lubrication allows the pipe and elastolive to glide smoothly into position against the fitting sealing area and enables the nuts to be tightened to their full thread capacity.

j. Use two spanner wrenches when tightening fittings.

This enables the nuts to be tightened to their full thread capacity without damaging the fitting.

Procedure

1. Ensure each fitting is supplied with the correct number of elastolives (sealing rings) and nuts.

2. Verify the grooving tool is sharp. Cut the pipe to the desired length using a tubing cutter fitted with a wheel designed for plastic pipe. A handsaw and miter box may also be used. Ensure pipe ends are square and trimmed

free of burrs.

3. Examine the grooving tool to ensure that the cutting blade is fully retracted. Insert the pipe into the grooving tool.

4. Set the grooving blade at the half-depth position and rotate the tool in a counter-clockwise direction. After one complete turn, set the blade at the full-depth position and again rotate the tool one full turn counter-clockwise. Fully retract the blade and remove the tool from the pipe. A shallow groove has now been formed around the pipe. Any material left as a feather edge in the groove should be removed. Care should be taken not to damage the square edge (shoulder) of the groove, particularly at the edge near the spigot end of the pipe as this is the primary sealing surface.

Feathered or rounded edges may indicate a worn tool and possible leakage. Make sure the groove shoulders are sharp.

5. Place the nut onto the pipe with the threaded side to the spigot end of the pipe. Take the elastolive, stretch it and pull it over the pipe with the thick edge first and the taper pointing to the spigot end of the pipe. Slide it down the pipe and onto the groove. Once on the groove “work it” a bit to make sure that the rib on the underside of the elastolive engages the full circumference of the groove.

Note: Use IPEX Acid Waste Lubricant on 3" and 4" elastolives to aid installation when sliding elastolives on to pipe.

*If you are working on a job that has the old translucent non-elastic olives, consult your “heat olive” Technical Bulletin or call IPEX Customer Services for technical information.

6. Apply IPEX Acid Waste Lubricant or IPEX approved petroleum jelly to both the thread and the elastolive then push the pipe squarely into the fitting.

7. Hand-tighten the nut, then tighten, using two spanner wrenches. The nut must be tightened to its full thread capacity.

The joint is now ready for testing.

* The figures in the table are estimates based on

laboratory tests

Note: Due to the many variables in the field, these figures should be used as a general guideline only.

3" and 4" Joint Details

The 3" and 4" joint design differ from smaller versions in that the sealing ridges are located on the fitting and the elastolive extends to the end of the pipe.

LABLINE AND PLENUMLINE TESTING

The purpose of a site pressure test is to establish that all joints have been correctly made.

Hydro test in accordance with local plumbing code or with authority having jurisdiction or with a maximum of 10 ft of head pressure. After making the first 20 or 30 joints, it is recommended that a test be applied to prove that the joint-making technique is satisfactory. If a leak is discovered, follow the appropriate procedure below.

Hydrostatic testing of the joints can be performed immediately after the final joint has been completed. The low pressure testing procedure detailed below should be strictly followed.

1. Fully inspect the installed piping for evidence of mechanical abuse and suspect joints.

2. Split the system into convenient test sections, not exceeding 1,000 feet. The piping should be capped off with an expandable plug at the end of the pipe section to be tested.

3. Prior to starting the test in below grade applications, straight lengths of pipe should be backfilled between fittings that are tested.

4. Slowly fill the pipe section with water, taking care to evaluate all trapped air in the process. Use air release valves in any high spots in the system. Do not pressurize at this stage.

5. Leave the pipe for at least one hour to allow an equilibrium temperature to be achieved.

6. Visually check the system for leaks.

7. Pressurize the system to a suggested maximum of 10 feet of head by means of a standard 10' standing water test using a 10' vertical riser, or a low-pressure hand pump.

8. Leave the line at 10 of feet head for a period of 2 hours, during which time the water level should not change (standing water test), nor should the pressure gauge reading change (hand pump test).

10. If joints are leaking, tighten the nut 1/8 to 1/4 turn and wipe the fitting to remove excess water. This should normally cure the problem. If it does not, then the grooving or setting of the elastolive should be investigated. Drain the system and undo the suspect fitting. Test first that the elastolive feels tight on the pipe by attempting to turn it with reasonable pressure such as you might use to unscrew the cap of a bottle. The elastolive should not easily move around the pipe.

If it does, it should be replaced. If the elastolive is tight,

examine it, particularly at the front, for signs of bad grooving or shavings between the elastolive and the groove. If the front edge of the groove is damaged, the joint must be re-made and the piece of pipe replaced. When examining a leaking 3" or 4" joint, particular attention should be paid to possible misalignment, as this is the most likely cause of such a leak. Make sure any misalignment is corrected before re-testing.

11. Repeat the 10 feet head test after repairing any leaking joints, following the procedure described above.

• NEVER use compressed air or gas in Enfield, Labline, or Plenumline pipes, fittings, or accessories.

• NEVER test Enfield, Labline, or Plenumline systems with compressed air or gas, or air-over-water boosters.

• ONLY use Enfield, Labline, or Plenumline systems for approved chemicals.

Use of compressed air or gas in PP or PVDF pipe and fittings can result in explosive failures and cause severe injury or death.

SECTION SIX: DILUTION AND NEUTRALIZATION

Our complete range of tanks, dilution traps, solids interceptors and accessories are designed to neutralize chemicals found in laboratory, industrial and institutional wastes.

Dilution Traps

It is often necessary to dilute waste from individual sinks or small groups of sinks before discharging into the system. Our one-, two-and five-gallon dilution traps allow for convenient point-of-use dilution of this sink waste.

One-gallon capacity dilution traps have two 1-1/2" loose nut inlets and one 2" outlet. Various inlet configurations are possible and some are illustrated below. Dilution traps may serve several sinks or be used as a trap under a particular sink where more than usual dilution is desirable. Dilution traps may also be used as means of dilution. If there is no requirement for the unit to incorcorate a trap mechanism, then the dip tubes can be removed; the unit now acts as a recovery trap only.

Options:

• One or Two Inlets

• 2-or 5-gallon capacity

• Connections available in 1-1/2" or 2" Mechanical Joint

Specify number of inlets and connection sizes when ordering

One-Gallon Dilution Trap

Dilution Trap / Basin Installation Procedure

• The dilution traps / basins should be situated close to or under the sinks.

• There are 2 x 1-1/2" mechanical joint inlet connections mounted on top of the trap / basin. This allows for up to 2 sinks to be connected to one dilution trap / basin. One inlet can be blanked off using cap (catalogue number: W461P) if only one sink is connected.

• The 2" mechanical joint located on the side of the trap / basin is the outlet.

• The trap / basin must be suitably supported from the base, this is required to prevent any undue stress being exerted on the fittings. Support can also be achieved by situating the trap / basin on the ground.

• The dilution trap / basin must NOT be filled with limestone chips. Limestone chips are only to be used in Neutralization Tanks.

NEUTRALIZATION

Neutralization of waste is necessary to protect the environment as well as attached piping systems. Ideally suited for this application, polypropylene and polyethylene tanks are a lightweight, durable and cost effective means of neutralizing this waste and offer advantages not found in tanks made from steel or molded stone. Polyethylene and polypropylene tanks are easier to handle, corrosion-free and easy to maintain.

IPEX offers a wide variety of tanks (2 to 2000 U.S. gallons) to neutralize harmful chemical waste. IPEX also offers a variety of equipment to keep tanks free of solids and insure proper flow of liquids through the system. To complete the neutralization system, equipment can be supplied that will monitor the waste exiting the tanks to ensure equipment is performing as intended, and alert personnel if there are system problems, such as improper neutralization or flow problems.

Neutratank options:

• Polypropylene or polyethylene construction

SOLIDS INTERCEPTION

Grease, hair, lint and other laboratory debris can enter the waste system and often cause clogging and system back-ups. Solid waste can build up in the system which can lead to flooding and damage to the piping. If the solids are not removed from the system at the source, they can lead to permanent stoppages in the piping. The stoppages in the system will lead to costly and inconvenient cleanings and possible replacement of the piping. IPEX manufactures a line of solids interceptors which will filter out these solid waste products prior to entering the main piping system. Standard units are manufactured from high-density polyethylene. Propropylene units are available upon request.

NEUTRASYSTEM 2

pH Monitoring, Recording, and Alarm System

Neutrasystem 2 ensures that discharges into the sewer are maintained within acceptable pH parameters by neutralizing the acidic waste with limestone chips. The system continuously samples the downstream flow while keeping an accurate, permanent record of pH discharge levels. The monitoring device will warn maintenance personnel, (visually and audibly), when pH discharges outside acceptable parameters are sensed. Once alerted, maintenance personnel can quickly and easily recharge the main IPEX Neutratank with limestone chips through the access cover incorporated into the tank’s design.

The system incorporates the following features:

• UL 508 listed, NEMA 4X enclosure with hinged clear front

cover for easy reading and access.

• 110/120 VAC input power supply with GFI power cord

protection and 24V DC operating voltage

provides stabilized operating current for panel instrumentation and allows the use of low voltage cable for quick, easy installation in the field.

• Control power circuit breaker, re-set protection (no fuses).

• Continuous soft internal alarm horn, (sonalert type), and alarm silencing button. The alarm horn is activated when

the probe senses a pH above or below the set parameters, and will remain on until the alarm silence button is pressed.

• 31-day strip chart and single pen recorder __maintains a permanent record of pH levels.

• “Power On” yellow light indicates that incoming 110/120 VAC power and the 24V DC system are functional.

• “pH Alarm” red light indicates when the measured pH is outside acceptable parameters. The light will remain illuminated until the fault is cleared and the “System OK” green light is re-illuminated.

• “System OK” green light indicates that the system is on-line and not in a default condition.

• 0-14 pH pH PHCN micro-processor based pH controller with digital LED display.

• Series 6510 submersible, pH electrode with chemically resistant CPVC body, viton O-rings and twist- lock connection providing easy maintenance.

• 5-gallon high density polyethylene, one-piece construction, rotationally molded sample tank.

NEUTRASYSTEM 2

IPEX NEUTRASYSTEM 2 uses a CPVC submersible electrode (sensor) with automatic temperature compensation. The sensor has a flat surface junction to minimize fouling. The reference is sealed to minimize dryout and eliminate refilling solution. The sensor is connected to a preamplifier by a 1/4 turn quick disconnect. The preamplifier has an attached cable for connection to the pH Controller in the NEUTRASYSTEM 2 panel. The cable has a BNC connector for the sensor signal and 3 spade terminals for automatic temperature compensation.

pH Electrode

Storage

The pH electrode is shipped in a soaker bottle containing a solution of pH 4 buffer and potassium chloride. The electrode should remain in the bottle until it is ready to use. If the electrode is used infrequently, the cap, bottle and solution should be saved and the electrode stored in it. Store the pH electrode in a pH 4 buffer solution if the soaking solution is discarded. Do not use distilled or deionized water as this will drastically reduce the electrode lifespan. Remove the cap and o-ring on the soaker bottle before use.

Maintenance

pH electrodes have a thin glass surface. Care should be taken so that the glass does not become scratched or broken. After exposure to a sample, buffer or rinse solution, carryover can be minimized by blotting – never by wiping – the electrode with a clean, non-abrasive paper or a clean cloth towel. Do not use a brush on pH glass. As a rinse solution, use a part of the next sample or buffer which is to be measured. This action will also minimize contamination from carryover.

Replacement

All pH electrodes age with time. Aging is characterized by shortened span and slower speed of response. Electrodes should be replaced when their readings cannot be corrected by the meter's controls and/or when their speed of response is too slow for the application for which they are being used. The frequency of electrode replacement is a function of the application; electrodes operating in hot liquids at very high or very low pH values will have shorter lives than those operating at neutral pH and ambient temperature. Coatings on an electrode's surface prevent new liquids from contacting an electrode's measuring surface and can mimic the effects of electrode aging. Before concluding that an electrode needs replacing, check its surface for coatings.

Calibration

The frequency of calibration is solely the responsibility of the user. At a new installation, calibration might be checked every few hours or shift, with the calibration changes noted in a log. As a pattern of longer stability is found, the time between calibration checks can be increased to once a day or once a week. Once a week is the longest recommended interval between calibrations.

• The pH electrode and pH controller should always be calibrated as a system.

• Only buffer solutions of 4, 7 and 10 are acceptable.

• Before placing the electrode in a new buffer, use an absorbent paper towel or clean absorbent cloth to blot – not wipe – off any liquid that clings to the electrode. This action will minimize carryover that could contaminate the buffer.

• Always use fresh buffers. Safely dispose of the buffers after they have been used for calibration. Do not return them to their bottles. This action could contaminate the buffers.

• Stir the electrode in the buffer to make sure that the fresh buffer quickly reaches the electrode’s measuring surface.

• Allow time for the reading to stabilize. In general, with new electrodes, stable readings in the buffer solution are obtained in 10-15 seconds.

Cleaning

Coating of an electrode’s measuring surface can lead to incorrect readings, including shortened span and slower response times. The type of coating determines the type of cleaning technique. When using chemicals or solvents, care should be taken and appropriate eye, face, hand and/or respiratory protection should be used.

Soft Coatings can be removed by vigorous stirring, by use of a squirt bottle or, very carefully, by gently wiping with a soft, clean non-abrasive paper or cloth. Do not use any brush or abrasive cleaner on pH glass.

Hard Coatings should be chemically removed. The chemical used to remove the coating should be the least harsh chemical that dissolves the coating in one or two minutes and does not attack the electrode’s material of construction.

Oily or Organic Coatings are best removed with detergents or an appropriate solvent that does not attack the electrode’s material of construction.

NEUTRALIZATION

IPEX Acid Waste Piping Systems

NEUTRALIZATION TANK SIZING AND MAINTENANCE

The size of the neutralization tank is a function of the number of sinks and drains that are discharged into the system. According to ASPE, tanks are sized to provide a minimum “dwell time” of 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Based on this dwell time, ASPE has developed a sizing table which is summarized and can be used as a guide in selecting the proper size tank. Tanks should not be sized based on the number of sinks or drains alone. Certain types of waste may require particular needs and may not fall within the standard sink to tank ratio. Other factors that can affect the tank size are not limited to, but inclusive of: the amount of flow through the system, the type of chemicals and the size of the system piping. A qualified engineer should make the final determination of the tank size.

Maintenance

The limestone chips supplied by IPEX are 1" to 3" in diameter and have a calcium carbonate content certified to be in excess of 90%. Water should always be added to the tank to help facilitate dilution. A maintenance schedule should be established to observe and maintain proper levels of limestone in the tank. Limestone replacement should be performed at regular intervals. Typically, once every one to three months is sufficient, however, these intervals can be increased or decreased based upon application needs and performance. Factors affecting limestone replacement are waste flow rates, pH levels, chemical composition and operating temperatures. Solids in the waste stream can plug the tank and should be avoided.

NOTE: There are many variables that affect neutralization and dilution of chemicals discharged through a system. Professional assistance should be employed in analyzing the effluent and the necessary maintenance service frequency.

Neutralization Tank Sizing Example

A manufacturing process has a discharge cycle that activates a discharge pump for 5 minutes every 30 minutes. The pump capacity is 10 gpm. The acid waste is then directed into the acid waste drainage pipe system. The piping system must therefore be capable of conveying 100 gallons/hour. What size neutratank would be necessary to neutralize this discharged acid waste?

Design Requirements:

• Pump capacity 10 gpm

• Pump operates for 5 minutes every 30 minutes

• Flow rate max 100 gallons/hour

Assumptions:

1. Nameplate tank capacity is reduced by 20% due to position of inlet and outlet.

2. Limestone distribution further reduces available liquid volume by 65%. This may vary by random mixture or stone sizes, settling or dissolving of the stones.

3. Dwell time design for a pH1 is between 2.5 and 3 hours to result in an effluent between a pH of 4 and 7.5.

Solution:

• require tank to have a liquid capacity of 250 gallons (100 gal/hr x 2.5 hrs)

• Tank total liquid volume capacity is 250 gallon/.35 = 714 gallons

• Nameplate capacity due to inlet and outlet is 714/.80 = 892 gallons

• Recommendation is 1000 gallon tank or 2 – 500 gallon tanks in parallel

NEUTRALIZATION TANK INSTALLATION

Exercise care when handling neutralization tanks. Damage may occur if the tank is dropped, dragged, or collides with sharp corners or objects. Improper handling of the tank during installation can cause structural failure.

Neutratank Installation and Application Advice

1. Tanks must be placed on a flat, solid surface allowing uniform, full support to the tank bottom. Such surfaces may be basement floors, concrete pads or compact, stone-free sand beds.

2. The tank itself must not be used to support manhole covers, traffic of any kind or heavy equipment.

3. Do not support the tank by inlet, outlet, vent or any connecting piping.

4. Do not place any weight on tank fittings or connecting piping.

5. Depending upon effluent content, HDPE tanks may be used at temperatures up to 140ºF (60ºC). Polypropylene tanks may be used at temperatures up to 212ºF (100ºC).

6. Where possible, fill the tank with water prior to introducing the limestone and media.

7. Tank insulation may be considered for outdoor installation in cold environments.

Buried Tank Installation

Tanks must be fully supported on the base by either an appropriate concrete pad that allows no overhang or a compacted stone free sand bed.

Buried tanks must be filled with water prior to backfilling. Tank tops are non-load bearing and should have a trap door or access cover over them supported by a foundation or by the ground. They cannot be supported by the top of the tank. The backfill material shall be free of stones and foreign matter and shall be capable of passing a No. 10 screen. The depth of this backfill should be 6" to 8" thick around the tank and then normal backfill material may be used. Mechanical tamping is not recommended. Care must be exercised during the backfilling procedure to prevent inward buckling of the tank.

For tanks with extensions, the above procedure should be followed up to or slightly above water level and from that point on up to ground level it is recommended that a 4" thick concrete sleeve be poured around the tank in multiple lifts. If this is not feasible then the normal backfill procedure may be used, up to 36" height above water level, bearing in mind that backfilling will produce inward pressures on the empty portion of the tank. Care must be exercised during this operation to prevent inward buckling.

In areas with high water tables, subject to flooding, or poor soil conditions; IPEX recommends tanks be secured within a concrete vault, or a 4" thick concrete sleeve poured around the tank in multiple lifts. If the tank is to be used as a pump-out holding tank or similar type of operation or the tank will be left empty or partially full, then IPEX recommends that tanks be secured within a concrete vault.

IPEX recommends that tanks should never be buried directly in the ground unless they are wrapped in fiberglass. IPEX can supply fiberglass wrapped tanks upon request.

These recommendations should always be referenced against the local authority having jurisdiction.

Testing

Tanks must NOT be subjected to pressure or vacuum including hydro-testing. Test tank by filling with water prior to use and inspect for any leaks.

ENCASETMDOUBLE CONTAINMENT ACID WASTE SYSTEMS

Encase Long Form

General

Acid waste double containment drain lines, as shown on drawings, shall be Encase, manufactured by IPEX, with no substitutions. Pipe and fittings shall be manufactured from Schedule 40 polypropylene and joined by the Enfusion method.

Material

Pipe, fittings, internal pipe supports and anchor plates shall be manufactured from Type 110 or 210 polypropylene material as described in ASTM D 4101.

Pipe and Fittings – Construction

All pipe fittings shall be factory assembled and of unitized construction, with the primary and secondary components integrally anchored together to prevent movement of the primary pipe/fitting within the containment pipe/fitting. All piping components shall be manufactured to Schedule 40 dimensions. The primary pipe shall be adequately supported by means of support plates welded to the primary pipe. Anchor plates shall be provided at each end of the pipe/fitting section to restrain pipe expansion. All anchor plates must be mechanically located in a machined recess on the inside of each secondary pipe/fitting and welded to both the primary and secondary pipe/fitting sections.

Factory Welded Joints

All factory joints shall be made either by butt fusion or Enfusion. Joining by means of fillet welding is expressly forbidden.

Site Joints

All site joints shall be made using Enfusion couplings, manufactured from polypropylene with a nickel/chrome resistance wire, molded in place. Components with copper

wire elements are prohibited. Solvent, butt-welded or filletwelded site joints are also prohibited.

Installation

Installation shall be in accordance with the contract drawings, the manufacturer’s recommendations and the local plumbing code. The entire installation shall be installed in proper alignment and free of stress.

Testing

The system shall be tested in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and the local plumbing code. The primary pipe shall be tested prior to making the secondary joints.

If Secondary pipe cannot be hydro-tested, as determined by the engineer or authority having jurisdiction, then the use of nitrogen or air at a MAXIMUM 5 psi (gauge) shall be allowed. It is imperative that a working-pressure regulator be used during the pneumatic test to ensure that overpressurization beyond 5 psi, cannot occur. The following must also be noted: Air or nitrogen under pressure is compressed and therefore poses a potential hazard. If a failure of the pipe or fitting occurs during such test, the air exits at the failure point and expands rapidly. This increase in velocity can cause the system to fail in a catastrophic mode. Therefore during such air test all personnel involved in the test or present in the test surrounding area must be aware of such a possibility and take all necessary precautions. Precautions include, but are not limited to, taking extreme care not to impact or damage the system in any way.

Such procedure is a limited exception to IPEX standard policy which forbids the use of its rigid systems with any compressed gases.

Encase Short Form

Acid waste double containment drain lines shall be Encase, as manufactured by IPEX, with no substitutions. Pipe and fittings shall be manufactured from Schedule 40, ASTM D 4101 Type 110 or 210 polypropylene. Joining shall be made using Enfusion couplings and a nickel/chrome wire molded in place. All pipe fittings shall be factory assembled, with Enfusion, or butt fusion welds, and be of unitized construction, with primary and secondary components integrally anchored together to control expansion and contraction. All primary joints shall be pressure tested and inspected, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and any local plumbing codes, prior to making any secondary joints.
