PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 INSTALLATION

A. Install all equipment and connecting piping in accordance with manufacturers


instructions and as indicated.

B. Prior to testing and start-up, inspect the installation to verify the system is ready for
complete testing and calibration of equipment.

3.02 CLEANING:

A. Carefully clean all portions of chlorine systems before use so that chlorine will not
react violently with any cutting oil, grease and other foreign materials. Clean by
pulling through each length of pipe a lint-free cloth saturated with trichloroethylene
or other suitable chlorinated solvent. Do not contact any plastic pipe or equipment
with solvent. Hydrocarbons or alcohols are NOT ACCEPTABLE because residual
solvent may react with chlorine. Dismantle and clean new valves and other
equipment before use. If valve packings are oily or dirty, repack valves with
manufacturer's recommended packing or Teflon. Test valves with clean, dry 300-psi
(2000 kPa) air for seat tightness as specified hereinbefore.

B. Chlorinated solvents can produce very serious physiological effects unless used in
strictest compliance with the solvent manufacturer's safety recommendations.
Instruct workmen in the proper use, disposal and handling of these solvents.

3.03 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL: (Calibration and Testing)

A. No form of energy shall be turned on to any part of the system prior to receipt by
CM/CS of certified statement of approval of installation from Contractor containing
his supplier's authorization to energize system, except that supplier's servicemen may
do so for purposes of check-out.

Libya Infrastructure Master Spec 11200-22 20-Nov-08


B. Clean all piping in a manner acceptable by the CM/CS prior to testing.

C. After installation, and in presence of the CM/CS, test all pipelines for tightness in
acceptable manner. Furnish suitable testing plugs or caps, all necessary pipe
connections, test fluids, gages, other equipment and all labor required for these tests.

D. Remove or valve off from lines all instrumentation and appurtenant equipment
which is incapable of withstanding the test pressures.

E. Hydrostatically test all PVC chlorine solution piping with water to 100 psig ( 700
kPa) pressure. Prior to test, remove or isolate solution rotameters and any other
devices which may be incapable of withstanding test pressures.

F. Then pressurize chlorine supply system to 300 (2000 kPa) psig with dry air or
nitrogen and test for leaks by application of soapy water to outside of all joints.
After pressure testing all piping gradually introduce chlorine gas and test the system
for leaks as described below. Make no attempt to repair leaks by welding unless all
chlorine gas has been completely purged from the system. When leaks have been
repaired, retest the line.

G. Test for chlorine leaks as follows; tie a cloth to end of a stick, soak cloth with aqua
ammonia, and hold close to suspected area. A white cloud will result if there is any
chlorine leakage. Use commercial 26 degree Baume ammonia.

H. Test and dry all piping as outlined in the latest edition of the Chlorine Institute
Manual.

I. At the time of the tests make all adjustments necessary to place equipment in
satisfactory working order.

J. Repair or replace as necessary and retest all items failing to pass required tests at no
additional cost to Owner.

K. Test chlorine leak detectors.

L. After installation of equipment in the presence of the CM/CS, operate each unit to
demonstrate its ability to operate without leakage and to perform its specified
functions satisfactorily.

M. Have manufacturer's service engineer test pacing and trimming system at 10, 50 and
80 percent of scale to demonstrate that chlorinator response to pacing and trimming
signals is within manufacturer's published accuracy statement.

Libya Infrastructure Master Spec 11200-23 20-Nov-08


N. Test loss of vacuum switches and alarms, and loss of chlorine and high gas pressure
switches and alarms by shutting down water supply to each chlorinator and altering
chlorine gas supply. Repeat tests as necessary and correct defects.

O. Clean, repair to satisfaction of the CM/CS, or replace all equipment or property


damaged by testing procedures at no additional cost to the Owner.

P. Operate chlorinators over 8-hour period at fixed rates to demonstrate that feed rate
is within manufacturer's published range.
