tanks, 1.9 specific gravity wall thickness and shall be vertical closed top with flat bottom.
1.2. The tank shall be anchored to the floor.
PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.1. Tanks shall be manufactured by Assman Corporation of America or approved
equal, in accordance with the definitions given in ASTM D 1998-15 (polyethylene upright storage tanks.)
2.2. Plastics: The tanks shall be molded from crosslinked polyethylene. The resin used for molding shall be Schulink XL350, as manufactured by A. Schulman, or approved equal. The plastic shall contain no fillers. All plastic shall contain a minimum of 0.3% U.V. stabilizers compound by the resin manufacturer. Pigments may be added as desired by the customer or as designated by the tank manufacturer, not to exceed 0.5%-dry blended and 0.2%-compounded in, of the total weight. The mechanical properties of the polyethylene shall include ESCR, condition A F50 results for 100% Igepal as defined in ASTM D1593 as well as the results using a 10% Igepal solution. Both test results must exceed 1000 hours of exposure without failure. The tank manufacturer must supply a copy of the mechanical property table as provided by the resin manufacturer for the resin used to manufacture the specified polyethylene tank.
2.3. Tank Construction: The tanks shall be designed with a hoop stress value no
greater than 600 PSI at 100 degrees F, with a safety factor of no less than 2. The Barlow Formula shall be used to calculating the wall thickness at the bottom sidewall or at the area of the tank that experiences the greatest head pressure. The manufacture shall produce the crosslinked polyethylene tank with verifiable uniform wall thickness throughout the entire surface area of vessel. The crosslinked tank shall have a minimum 70% crosslinking throughout and Gel Test results shall be provided by the manufacturer using the test method as defined in ASTM D 1998-15. The sample used for the test shall come from the lowest point possible on the sidewall of the tank. The vessel shall be air-cooled to ensure a consistent cure throughout the thickness of the part and reduce the stress caused by shrinkage.

PAGE 2
I. Filtration Operation
Filter control stations are provided but are only operational in manual mode. The control stations have a selector switch for Open/Close valve control, a red pilot light to indicate open valve status, and a green pilot light for closed valve status. The Effluent Control valve has a potentiometer for valve flow setpoint, a green pilot light for open and a red pilot light for close indication. The valves are wired to normally closed limit switches. During valve travel, both open & closed pilot lights illuminate indicating butterfly valve travel. Control stations for equipment common to all filters (backwash pump, air scour blowers, backwash control and air vent valves) are provided. The Backwash Pump station has a stop/start selector switch, a red pilot light for running and a green pilot light for off indication. The Air Scour Blower stations have a stop/start selector switch, a red pilot light for running and a green pilot light for off indication. The Backwash Control valve station has a potentiometer for valve flow setpoint, a red pilot light for open and a green pilot light for close indication. The Air Vent valve has an open/hold/close selector switch, a red pilot light for open and a green pilot light for close indication
Effluent rate of flow control: The Effluent Control Valve potentiometer sets the filter rate of flow in manual filter operation. For manual flow control operation, place the “Mode” operation selector switch in the Manual position. Effluent flow is displayed on the Effluent Flow panel meter. The flow signal is from the direct feedback of the field-mounted rate of flow transmitter. The operator can manually adjust the setpoint via the potentiometer while observing the panel meter for the desired rate of flow. For automatic flow control the setpoint is defined by the PLC and flow control is a constant level setpoint via the sedimentation basin level transmitter. For automatic flow control operation, place the “Mode” operation selector switch in either the Semi-Auto or Automatic positions.
II. Backwash Operation
Backwash rate of flow control: In manual, the Backwash Pump start/stop and running/off status in the filter PLC is communicated via the network to the PLC-ELEC control panel. For manual flow control operation, place the “Mode” operation selector switch in the Manual position. Backwash flow is displayed on the Backwash Flow panel meter. The flow signal is from the direct feedback of the field-mounted rate of flow transmitter. The operator can manually adjust the setpoint via the Backwash Control Valve potentiometer while observing the panel meter for the desired rate of flow.

Manual backwash mode: The operator can manually backwash a filter by placing the “Mode” operation selector switch in the Manual position in conjunction with observing the valve position indicators, a backwashing sequence for proper washing is provided (See Section IV).
Semi-Automatic backwash mode (operator initiated): Semi-Automatic backwash operation occurs by placing the “Mode” operation selector switch in the Semi-Automatic switch position. The operator can initiate a backwash cycle by pressing the “Start Backwash” pushbutton. The PLC will then check certain permissives, such as another filter in backwash and valve limit switch status before allowing a backwash to continue. Automatic backwash mode: Automatic backwash operation occurs by placing the “Mode” operation selector switch in the Automatic switch position. Backwash occurs automatically upon a high loss of head, high effluent turbidity or filter runtime exceeded. The PLC will then check certain permissives, such as another filter in backwash and valve limit switch status before allowing a backwash to continue.
III. Backwash Aborts
If during a PLC controlled backwash, if a device fails to respond to a PLC command within a predetermined time, the backwash will abort. That is, all valves will close and all motors will stop. At this time, the “Backwash Aborted” pilot light will illuminate to alert the operator of this condition. The operator should attempt to diagnose and rectify the problem or, if the problem cannot be resolved, notify the supervisor on call. Once corrected, the operator will then reset the filter. To do so, turn the “Mode” switch to the “Manual” position. The operator must then decide whether to stay in “Manual” or return to the Automatic mode of operation.
NOTE TO OPERATORS: Before going to the “Manual” position after a backwash abort, make sure all the valve stations located on the lower section of the filter panel are in the correct positions to avoid any unwanted valve movement.
IV. Backwash Sequence During the automatic backwash modes, the FILTERING light turns off and the BACKWASHING light illuminates. The following backwash sequence should be followed whether in Manual, Semi-automatic, or Automatic mode (Note that in the automatic modes, the PLC shall execute these steps independent of operator intervention).

VI. Procedure for changing a Setpoint from the OIT (Console #1 Only)
Function keys on the Magelis Operator Interface Terminal (OIT): The F1 key is selected to display a banner message. Use this key to return from changing any setpoints. The F2 key is selected to access setpoint information in the PLC. The current value is displayed. Scroll through the operator adjustable setpoint pages for the desired parameter using the right arrow key or the F12 key to go to the next item on the list. Use the left arrow key or the F11 key to go to the previous item on the list. Once the setpoint parameter is located, press the ‘MOD’ key to modify the value of the parameter, use the numeric keypad to change the current value to the new value, and press the ‘Enter’ key. The F2 key includes access to the adjustable setpoint parameters in the PLC, listed in section VII. When F2 is depressed, the first parameter is displayed on the screen, along with its setpoint value. After the status of a value has been checked or changed, use the F1 key to return to the main banner screen. The program will then display the filter runtimes automatically.
The F3 key is selected to access the Setpoint Select register. If the operator needs to set all adjustable setpoint parameters back to the factory default values, a ‘0’ needs to be entered into this register. The Setpoints are also available on the Leopold workstation computer.
