38、thereof.8.3 Resin and catalyst tankcontainer levels and temperatures shall be checked prior to using the mobile impregnation system.If additional resin is needed, material inventory should be inspected prior to use. Resin and catalyst should be stored indoors insealed containers within a temperature
39、 range recommended by the resin manufacturer. Prior to use, the resin should be tested forreactivity in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. In lieu of reactivity testing, a COAmay be obtained from the resinmanufacturer for each batch of resin and catalyst utilized. Resin and catalyst tank
40、scontainers may be filled to desirable levels usingexternal transfer pumps and/or on-board resin and catalyst pumps with gravity assist.8.4 The mobile impregnation system shall be in resin circulation mode prior to start up. Upon system start up, all functions andcomponents shall be checked and veri
41、fied to be operational and within the manufacturers recommended tolerances. Resin andcatalyst temperature levels shall also be checked prior to use. The mobile impregnation system shall not be operated if resin andcatalyst temperatures fall outside the range recommended by the manufacturer. Resin th
42、at is too cold will have a viscosity that istoo high, causing excessive pump pressures; resin that is too warm will reduce the pot life of the mixed resin. Work room climatecontrol systems such as roof mounted HVAC, stand heating or refrigeration units may be utilized in conjunction with temperature
43、control systems as described in 7.4 to assist with the material heating or cooling process.F2994 1838.5 All liner tube should be stored indoors or protected from moisture and ultraviolet light when not in use. Storage temperaturefor all liner tube shall be within acceptable limits as established by
44、the manufacturer. The tube(s) proposed to be used for the nextinstallation(s) may be transported in bulk to the job-site or measured, cut and stored inside the mobile impregnation unit prior tomobilization.8.6 Once the mobile impregnation unit is ready for use and the liner tube is pre-measured and
45、cut, the liner tube may bepositioned on the roller bed and table. The terminating end of the liner shall be temporarily sealed before applying vacuum. Usinga utility knife, a vacuum port, typically a straight 0.25-0.50 in. (6-12 mm) slit, shall be cut in a flat, even area of the liner coating(away f
46、rom any seams) and tagged. Depending on the length and diameter of liner being impregnated, additional vacuum portsmay be required. The vacuum pump shall be powered up using the HMI display and vacuum cup(s) applied to the liner tube overthe vacuum port(s). The vacuum level shall be adjusted as need
47、ed to optimize the impregnation process. Ideal vacuum levels mayrange from -4.4-4.0 to -7.3-12.0 psi (-0.3 to -0.5 bar), (8.1 to 24.4 in Hg), depending on diameter and liner type utilized. If goodvacuum is established, the liner will draw down as air is evacuated. If vacuum cannot be established, th
48、e liner should be inspectedfor defects. Once a good vacuum level is observed, the liner tube is ready for resin saturation.8.7 The target mixing ratio on the HMI shall be achieved and maintained prior to transitioning into dispense mode. The end ofthe mixing tube or lance shall then be positioned ov
49、er a metal or heat resistant container of suitable size for waste materials. Uponswitching to dispense mode, a small volume of mixed resin shall be discharged into the container. Once the resin color and flowis normal and consistent as recommended by the manufacturer, the discharge flow shall be shut off by returning to circulation mode.8.8 The mixing tube or lance shall be inserted into the open end of the liner tube. Upon switching back to dispense mode, mixedresin shall be pumped into the tube. A starter slug may be pumped in at the start to seal the e
