Commissioning - Graf KLsepa.pop Manuel D'utilisation

4. Commissioning

Once the tank has been installed, the entire separator system must be checked for leaks
in accordance with the requirements from the relevant authorities. In order to do this, the
inlet and outlets are sealed watertight and the whole system is filled with clean water up
to the lower lip of the shaft cover. The test must be carried out in accordance with DIN
4040-100. A qualified person
connections are watertight as per DIN 1999-100. Confirmation of watertightness should
be recorded by the person carrying out the test in the record supplied. This should be
arranged by the building project manager or the construction company.
In the event that the system is not watertight GRAF must be informed immediately;
any complaints regarding watertightness made at a later date shall be
disregarded!
Once it has been confirmed that the system is watertight, the water is drained or pumped
out until it only reaches to the lower lip of the outlet. The remaining water must be
retained as the initial filling. Should it become necessary to pump the tank out
completely, the plant must be filled with clean water before commissioning until no
further rise in the water level can be discerned. If this is not done, any mixture of fat and
water introduced into an empty tank would not be sufficiently well cleaned before leaving
the tank.
If there is not already one in place, the nameplate delivered with every separator must be
attached via a chain to the underside of the telescopic dome shaft cover.
The telescopic dome shaft must be covered by the original cover supplied and must be
marked "separator system".
All relevant information, including the serial number from the type approval plate must be
entered on page 3 in this operating manual!
Commissioning must be documented in the commissioning report. Any claims under the
warranty can only be made if the completed commissioning report is provided!
3 Qualified persons are employees of independent companies, appraisers or other institutions
who have the proven necessary expertise for the operation, maintenance and testing of separator
systems to the extent mentioned here, as well as having the necessary technical equipment for
testing separator systems. In isolated cases and in large companies the tests may be carried out
by internal, independent qualified persons from the operating company who are not bound by
instructions in relation to their area of responsibility and who hold equivalent qualifications and
have the appropriate equipment.
