Product Specification

Polymaster’s Standard Dosing Systems are designed as an ‘essential elements’ dosing system that provides high levels of functionality and practicality

GENERAL SAFETY STATEMENT
This product has the potential to result in injury or worse if not operated in accordance with this guide and industry best practice. Operators shall be sufficiently competent in the operation of such systems prior to commissioning/operating this product. Appropriate PPE is to be worn at all times when operating this equipment, regardless of the chemical being handled.

HOW IT WORKS
The primary function of the Polymaster standard dosing system is to provide a safe and efficient means of providing
a measured and controlled volume of fluid to a process. This is achieved by an engineered dosing system. All Polymaster standard dosing systems provide an operating environment suitable to
the pump, and functionality to the operator to be able to effectively control and adjust the pump and associated equipment.
All Polymaster standard dosing systems comprise of the following features

• A means of calibrating the dosing pump (calibration systems).
• A means of draining or flushing the contents of the system (drain valves).
• A means of proving an alternate path for fluid in the event of a blockage upstream (pressure relief valve).
• A means of providing the minimum required backpressure for the pump to properly operate.
• A method of determining back pressure/pressure relief setpoints (Pressure gauge).
• A convenient means of connection to the dosing system (outlet valve)

Setup & Installation

INITIAL INSPECTION
On initial arrival and during commissioning of the dosing system, a thorough check must be conducted to ensure equipment is free from damage and is fit for use. If any damage is found, please contact Polymaster for further direction.
Whilst all systems are pressure tested during manufacturing, a check must also be conducted prior to the system being commissioned to ensure all fittings and connections are secure and have not come loose during transport.

INSTALLATION
The dosing cabinet should be securely fixed to the foundation on which it is placed to ensure stability whilst in operation. Consideration of placement should be given to ensure ease of integration/connection with site pipework/processes without creating distortion to new/existing equipment.

INITIAL SETUP NOTES
It is recommended that during the installation/commissioning of the dosing system, that the maximum pressure limit of the pump is set to a conservative value to safeguard system/operator – This control measure is only possible
if the FCM variant of the pump is being used, for pumps with no pressure monitoring capability, it is recommended that pressure relief and backpressure valves are set to the low possible value and adjusted to the appropriate value during commissioning.

PUMP CALIBRATION
Calibration may be checked or adjusted using the provided calibration cylinder.(From Grundfos user manual) The pump is calibrated in the factory for media with a viscosity similar to water at maximum pump backpressure (see section 3.1 Technical data). If the pump is operated with a backpressure that deviates or if dosing a medium whose viscosity deviates, the pump must
be calibrated. For pumps with FCM control variant, it is not necessary to calibrate the pump if there is deviating or fluctuating backpressure so long as the “AutoFlowAdapt” function
has been enabled (see section
6.10 AutoFlowAdapt). Polymaster recommends that the calibration is ran for the chemical being dosed.

SETTING BACK PRESSURE
The recommended minimum backpressure for a Grundfos DDA FCM pump is 2 bar. Using the supplied pressure gauge, the systems backpressure valve be adjusted accordingly.

Setup & Installation (continued)

SETTING PRESSURE RELIEF
Like the setting of the back pressure valve, the pressure relief valve can be set using the provided pressure gauge. With the pressure relieve valve fully
‘backed off’ (opening at the lowest possible pressure), and the outlet valve in the almost (or fully) closed position, adjust the pressure relief valve
to open at the desired pressure. Note that if the system becomes blocked or the pressure relief valve does not function, the pump is capable of generate pressure sufficiently high to damage the system or worse.

The Grundfos DDA FCM pump
does have the ability to have a pre-programmed max pressure set, it is recommended a conservative max pressure is set during commissioning as a safeguard to the system and operators.

JUNCTION BOX – SITE CONNECTION (If applicable)
If dosing system has been supplied with a junction box, a qualified electrician will be required to connect mains power to the junction box, a wiring diagram for the junction box is available on request.

OPERATION
Please refer to relevant Grundfos DDA pump installation and operating instruction document for operation and control modes.

STRAINER
It is recommended that the strainer is positioned with the basket facing up, to minimise the loss of fluid when the basket is removed.
To clean y-strainer, it is necessary
to pause pump and then isolate the strainer via the immediate upstream and downstream valves, with an appropriate container in place to collect any spilled liquid remove the strainer and clean, then reinstall the strainer, ready for use.
Operators may wish to use the closest drain valves to drain the majority of fluid prior to removing the strainers basket.
Operators may look to use the calibration cylinder as a temporary draw down reservoir through the opening/closing of appropriate ball valves to keep the pump on-line whilst cleaning out strainer, it is recommended that the fluid is completely drawn down, leaving the cylinder empty once strainer has been reinstalled and the system can be reconnected to main fluid reservoir. Regular maintenance and inspections should be a normal part of any dosing systems operation, please refer to the below as a starting point for suggested maintenance intervals. This section serves as a guide only, end users should look to develop and maintain their own maintenance and servicing schedules. Appropriate PPE is to be worn whilst conducting maintenance or repairs.
Important Note: Dosing system
can expose operators to dangerous chemicals under high pressure.
Care must be taken to ensure that

Maintenance/Servicing & Care

appropriate PPE and shutdown procedures are used to avoid chemical spills and or exposure. Contact with some chemicals can lead to extreme burns or worse. Consult with relevant SDS before handling.

PUMP DIAPHRAGM
(Grundfos DDA pump manual) –Warning If the diaphragm leaks or is broken, dosing liquid will escape from the drain opening on the dosing head
Please refer to relevant Grundfos DDA pump installation and operating instruction document (available via web download)
