4. Procedure

4.1. Provision Of Access & Egress

 Confined space permit to work must be obtained prior to start the job and MSRA should be
communicated to the crew before entering into MMF.

 To begin with access in to the MMF vessel, proper scaffolding erected outside the Vessel to
reach the bottom opening and permanent ladder fixed with MMF will be used to reach top of
MMF Opening.
 There are total of 3 opening for MMF, one in the Top, one in the Bottom and one in the Side.

 Top Manhole shall be used for entering in to the MMF Vessel. Bottom Manhole shall be kept
open for proper ventilation.
 An Exhaust fan of 220V operating capacity shall be placed in way of the side Manhole throughout
the whole activity inside the Vessel.
 Added to that, it shall be ensured that necessary lighting arrangements of (24Watts) shall be kept
in place.

4.2. Installation of scaffolding & Ladder

Proper internal Ladder arrangements shall be made in order to access from the Top of MMF in to the
Vessel and it shall be inspected by the competent scaffolding inspector prior to enter in.

4.3. Opening Of Manhole

Once upon the above said steps been carried out, all the three man hole cover shall be opened by
suitable hand Tool (Torque Wrench).
Prior to enter in to the Vessel, Trained and certified Gas Tester shall ensure that there is no toxic gas
present inside the vessel and proper Oxygen level for breathing which shall be between (19.5 % to
23.5%). Once all the requirements for the Confined space has been met with, individuals shall be allowed
to enter in to Vessel after signing the Confined Space Entrant Register.

Proper ventilation shall be ensured inside the vessel all the times until the Man Hole Covers are
closed.

4.4. Inspection Of Back Wash Channel & Internal Rubber Lining

It is necessary that before commencing with any activity inside the vessel, a detailed visual inspection of
back wash channel & internal rubber lining shall be performed in order to verify that there is no any
mechanical damage or deformation / Loosening of the Fasteners observed on them.

Upon this visual inspection, next stage activity as mentioned in the section 3 of this document shall be
carried out. Following this, installation of Internal Piping shall be inspected for the proper orientation &
Alignment.

4.5 Spark Testing Of Rubber Lining(If Required)

Test Instrument
 An Insulation Tester (Holiday Detector)
should be used as test instrument. Test
Voltage: 12kV/ 16KV.
 For testing inside the vessels, a battery powered test instrument should be used.
Procedure
 Adjust the Instrument to the test voltage of 12kV/16KV.
 Check the function of the instrument.
 Record the setting of the instrument for the test voltage.
 Set up the instrument on the vessel to be tested.
 Connect the instrument earth to a metal surface of the vessel.
 Fix a flat brush for testing plain surfaces.
 Set the test voltage of the instrument.
 Carry out the test.
 After finishing the plain surface test, change the flat against a bore brush for testing the holes in nozzle
plates.
Carry out the test
1. When testing is finished, the instrument should be switched off and the earth cable should be
disconnected.

4.6 Installation Of Filter Nozzle & Tightening

Following the inspection as stated above, Filter nozzle shall be installed in to the nozzle floor. Proper tightening of the
Nozzle Filters shall be done with necessary hand tools such as Torque Wrench. Access from bottom Man Hole will be
required to carry out this activity.

Torque Value of 7N/m shall be ensured to be achieved after Torqueing.

4.7 Flushing & Internal Cleaning Of The Vessel

Following to the Installation of the Filter Nozzle, Flushing & Internal Cleaning of the Vessel shall be done in order to
