1.0 PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
· Read this Service Manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and
the proper use of the equipment.
· This manual should be retained with the scrubber because it contains the
information necessary for proper maintenance.
· Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
CAUTION:
· Installer should be a trained, experienced service person.
· Check the assembly and component weights to be sure that the rigging
equipment can handle them safely.
· Be sure that the scrubber is well balanced in the transporting device.
· Always conduct a thorough check when the installation is complete.
· Never enter an enclosed blower cabinet or reach into a housing while fan is
running.
· The motors in PURAFIL® equipment get very hot. This is normal and should not
be regarded as a problem. However, take special care to avoid touching hot
areas of the motor.
1.2 RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS
Systems are normally shipped already assembled and with motors mounted. All
scrubbers are securely attached to skids. It is recommended that the scrubber be
left on the skid for protection and ease of handling while transporting. Straps,
rigging, slings, or hooks attached to the skids may be used with proper care. The
scrubber is well protected with triple wallboard and is secured with metal bands.
Forklifts may be used under the skids, but exercise caution to prevent damage.
Upon receiving systems from Purafil, Inc., note any shipping damage, obvious or
hidden, to your carrier and on your Bill of Lading. All problems should be handled
- 1 - Service Guide #I22 - Rev. 08/03
between the customer and carrier except for U.P.S. shipments, which require the
customer to contact Purafil, Inc. for action.
· If the scrubber is to be stored before use, see Section 1.4 in this manual for
storage instructions.
· If the scrubber is to be installed immediately, be sure to check Section 3.0 in this
manual for installation instructions.
· To uncrate the scrubber, cut the metal bands and remove the packaging.
· For positioning and special handling, see Section 3.1 in this manual.
1.3 INSPECTION
The condition of the scrubber upon its arrival is critical to its proper operation. Prior
to start-up, inspect the scrubber carefully, according to the checklist below. Correct
any inadequacies before start-up to prevent possible damage or inefficiency. Note:
should there be any questions concerning the scrubber, refer to the numbers found
on the scrubber identification plate when contacting the PURAFIL® representative.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
YES NO CONDITION
1. Check the configuration and material with the sales order form
2. Measurements fit submittal requirements
3. Parts include particulate filters, media, and gage units
4. Latches hold securely and gaskets seal properly
5. Labels and serial numbers are present
6. Airflow direction is consistent with installation requirements
(Check labels attached to scrubber)
Note: Checking specific points is also an imperative step after the scrubber is
started up. See section 3.4 in this manual for checklist.
- 2 - Service Guide #122 - Rev. 08/03
1.4 STORAGE
The scrubber should be protected from the elements during storage, especially
when storage time is extensive. While indoor storage is considered best, outdoor
storage can be adequate when precautions are taken.
OUTDOOR STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Cover the equipment with a tarp. Intake and discharge openings must be well
covered. (Use of black plastic as a cover may cause excessive condensation and
rusting.)
· If there is the possibility of moisture collection, allow for proper drainage.
· Do not place heavy equipment on top of the scrubber.
· Store Purafil® media in a dry place with less than 95% relative humidity.
1.5 FOUNDATION AND CLEARANCES
FOUNDATIONS
Some scrubbers may require new or reinforced foundations, due to their weight.
Always be sure to check that the existing foundation is adequate for the scrubber to
be installed. Scrubbers to be used indoors require particular attention to strength of
foundation. In some instances, a concrete base is best suited to the system.
Concrete lessens the chance for vibration than metal structures do.
CLEARANCE
All scrubbers should be easily accessible for the required periodic maintenance. Do
not block return and discharge grilles. The local PURAFIL® representative can
recommend sufficient minimum clearances.
- 3 - Service Guide #122 - Rev. 08/03
2.0 BASIC DESIGN OF THE DRUM FILTER
Designed to clean odorous air, the drum filter, coupled with the final particulate filter,
contains an inlet pipe, blower, a media bed housed in a LDPE drum, and diffuser.
Pre-engineered in a single scrubber, the drum scrubber is designed to exhaust
recycled air. The drum scrubber is typically supplied with Purafil® Medias. The
drum scrubber has a quiet, Iow horsepower motor and Iow-pressure drop.
The drum filter includes the following components:
1. INLET PIPiNG/DIFFUSER - Air enters through a 4" (100 CFM model) or 8"
(300, 500 CFM models) Fernco fitting prior to entering the drum.
2. MEDIA BED-
100 CFM model - consists of 1 ft30dorox Select media, 2 ft3 (cubic feet) of
Odorcarb media and 2 ft3 (cubic feet) of Odormix Select media. Each cubic
foot of media is contained in a MediaSak for easy handling and disposal.
300 CFM model - comes complete with 7 ft3 (cubic feet) of Odorcarb media
(225 lbs) and 3 fts (cubic feet) of Odormix media (320 lbs.).
500 CFM model - comes complete with 14 ft~ (cubic feet) of Odorcarb media
(315 lbs.) and 3 ft~ (cubic feet) of Odormix media (440 lbs.).
3. BLOWER - the air is then propelled further by the blower assembly, which
includes a mill and chemical duty motor and direct drive blower. This assures
an even, quiet airflow.
4. FINAL FILTER - any remaining contaminants, such as media dust and
airborne contaminants are removed in this final stage by a high efficiency
particulate filter.
FIGURE 1: BASIC DESIGN
- 4 - Service Guide #122 - Rev. 08/03
3.0 INSTALLATION
After the entire pre-operative inspection is completed (Section 1.3), follow this next
sequence for installation:
(1) Remove the scrubber from the skid and position it in the designated operation
location.
(2) Install the particulate filter. (DS-300 and DS-500 models only)
(3) Plug in the electrical connections.
(4) Start the scrubber.
(5) Perform post-start inspection check ( Section 3.5).
Note: Before initial start-up of system, contact your local PURAFIL® representative.
Their name and phone number is attached to your system. Operate afl DS models at
the lowest airflow required to maintain a negative pressure and maximize media life.
3.1 POSITIONING THE SCRUBBER
The standard scrubber can simply be transported by lift to its pre-designed operation
location (if it is in close proximity to the skid), according to facility safety
requirements.
3.2 MEDIA FILLING INSTRUCTIONS (FOR INITIAL START-UP)
The drums are specifically designed for media manufactured by Purafil, Inc. Proper
filling, installation, and maintenance of the media are critical for efficient operation.
The Purafil Media allows the system to perform at maximum efficiency, through
proper shape and bed depth. Drum filters are pre-filled with media at the factory.
3.3 MEDIA FILLING INSTRUCTIONS (FOR MEDIA REPLACEMENT)
Replace the media once a media analysis has determined that it is time. (300, 500
CFM models only) TAKE CARE WHILE POURING THE FIRST 6 INCHES so it will
not crush as much therefore reducing the amount of dusting.
For 100 CFM Model:
· Media replacement is accomplished by removing the motor/blower lid
assembly. Disconnect power supply.
Remove Media Saks (5).
· Install new Media Saks (5).
· Install motor/blower lid assembly.
· See Section 4.3 for disposal precaution.
- 5 - Service Guide #122 - Rev. 08/03
For 300, 500 CFM Model:
· Remove motor/blower lid assembly. Disconnect power supply.
· Remove Polymedia (blue) filter.
· Remove layer of Odormix media.
· Remove middle Polymedia (blue) filter.

· Install middle Polymedia (blue) filter.
· Install new Odormix media.
· Install top Polymedia (blue) filter.
· Install motodblowerlid assembly.
· Connect power supply.
· See Section 4.3 for disposal precaution
3.4 POST-START INSPECTION/CHECK
Before initial start-up of system, contact your local PURAFIL® representative. Their
name and phone number is attached to your system. Operate all DS models at the
lowest airflow required to maintain a negative pressure and maximize media life.
YES NO
CONDITION
1. Joints, seals, and gaskets do not leak.
2. Particulate filters have been installed. (DS-300, DS-500)
- 6- Service Guide #122 Rev. 08/03
_ 4.0 MAINTENANCE
4.1 REPLACEMENT PARTS AND MATERIALS
While Purafil's products are built for durability, some parts of the scrubber will
require replacement during the normal lifetime of the equipment. Replacement
items may be ordered from your local PURAFIL® representative or from Purafil, Inc.
Consumables: In order to maintain proper performance levels, particulate filters and
PURAFIL® Media must be replaced periodically, as they have a finite life (See
Sampling Procedure Service Guide).
Moving Parts: Bearings, motors, etc. are all subject to gradual deterioration and/or
sudden breakdown.
4.2 MEDIA REPLACEMENT
NEED FOR SAMPLING (300, 500 CFM models only)
· PURAFIL® media has a finite life, which is a function of the available potassium
permanganate (KMnO4) expressed as a percentage.
After start-up, your local Purafil representative will work with the owner
periodically to secure media samples. Purafil, inc. will provide regular laboratory
analysis of such samples to establish life cycles. Note: the color change of media
does not indicate the level of remaining life.
Since every installation varies due to the type and quantity level of the
contaminant, operators must develop a sample schedule best suited to their
system. However, until a schedule can be established, we recommend that a
sample is taken following initial startup and sent for analysis, so a replacement
date can be projected with a recommended sampling schedule.
To take a sample from the media:
1. For the DS-300 and DS-500, utilize the media sampling ports located on the
outside of the drum and insert the sampling probe into the media bed.
2. Open the entry port of the sampling probe, pulling up until the port cover slides
open.
3. Close the sampling probe by pushing down and pour the contents into the plastic
sample bag provided by your PURAFIL® representative.
4. Seal tightly and label the laboratory bag. Use the same label name on the
Transmittal Sheet.
5. Place a label on the media bed to show that a sample was taken from it.
- 7 - Service Guide #122 - Rev. 08/03
6. Fill out the PURAFIL® Sample Transmittal and send it with the samples to the
local representative, or send it to the Purafil, Inc. laboratory. A replacement
sampling kit will be mailed to you.
A sampling record sheet is included with this manual. Record the following data, and
file all related reports with the record sheet:
· Date that the sample is taken and mailed
· Results of life analysis as reported by the Purafil Laboratory
After the Purafil® laboratory has analyzed a sample, a Certificate of Analysis will be
sent to you detailing the approximate percentage of total life consumed. A projected
replacement date will be given for each scrubber if installation and sampling dates
are provided.
The projected replacement dates may be used in updating budget requirements as
well as a guide in ordering replacement material. However, since contaminant load is
rarely constant, avoid relying too heavily on projected replacement dates.
By maintaining records of the life expenditures of each filter bank, the media banks
with the greatest percentage of life expended can be replaced before others that
have less life expended.
4.3 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Disposal
PURAFIL® media is a non-toxic, non-flammable substance. Filtration of
contaminants through PURAFIL® media causes molecular changes to occur, and the
resulting product is usually not harmful to the environment. Although special
precautions are generally not required when disposing of spent media, government
regulations may require specific disposal procedures if the resulting product could be
harmful to the environment. Large quantities of PURAFIL® media should not be
disposed of in dumpster-like equipment because the weight of the media could cause
difficulties in handling the dumpster.
Independent laboratory analysis for Environmental Protection Agency toxicity
characteristics may be required if the contaminants eliminated from your environment
include heavy metals and pesticides.
Inhalation
A well-ventilated work area is suggested for changing the PURAFIL® media, as
dusting occurs in fresh media due to handling abrasion. Workers should avoid direct
inhalation of considerable PURAFIL® dust, as it induces sneezing. In closed,
unventilated spaces, dust masks such as the 3-M No. 8500 are suggested.
- 8 - Service Guide #122 - Rev. 08/03
Water
Avoid exposing the PURAFIL® media to water or precipitation, as this dissolves
permanganate content. Storage of media should be in a dry place with less than
95% relative humidity. Exposure of permanganate solution to the skin causes brown
staining which is temporary and not harmful. This staining can be removed by
washing in a diluted solution of water and sodium bisulfite.
Eye Contact
if dust is exposed to the eyes or delicate membrane, flush thoroughly with water and
seek treatment by a physician. Follow normal procedures for exposure to abrasive
dust.
4.4 PURAFIL® STAIN REMOVAL
The following stain removal procedure is stated here as information only, and neither
Purafil, Inc., any of its subsidiaries, nor any agent or employee of Purafil, Inc. make
any warranty or other representation regarding the efficacy or safety of this
procedure. The stain removal could cause further damage to the garment or to the
item from which one may attempt to remove the stain.
If the dust from PURAFIL® media comes in contact with organic material, there are
two possible stain problems:
1. Manganese dioxide (MnO2), which is insoluble, characterized by a medium brown
color, and is found in expended PURAFIL media, can usually be removed by
normal washing.
2. New (unused) PURAFIL® media contains potassium permanganate (KMnO4),
which is a strong oxidant and will react with and discolor any organic material with
which it comes in contact. These stains, which will be brownish black in color,
may be removed using a solution of sodium bisulfite in water, after the garment
has been removed from the person.
However, if the permanganate has damaged the fiber, removal of the stain may make
the damage more apparent.
CAUTION: This procedure should start with a very weak solution, gradually
increasing the strength until the stain is removed. Use of too strong a solution could
conceivably cause additional fabric damage.
NOTE: Sodium bisulfite gives off sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas; therefore, it must be used
in a well-ventilated area.
