Maintenance

Post Installation - Maintenance

The Aquaconsult range of fine bubble diffusers and Hydrok's unique approach to design has reduced day to day operator maintenance requirements to an absolute minimum.

Routine maintenance is carried out automatically by sub routines programmed into the control of the system. Diffuser membranes are cleaned daily by a deflation cycle that flexes the membrane, effectively removing organic growth and deposits. The frequency of this flexing cycle is increased if the pressure within the system exceeds pre-determined set points. The number of flexing cycles is recorded and should this exceed recommended levels an acetic acid dosing cycle may be initiated to clean more thoroughly.

Therefore depending on local conditions manual cleaning will be significantly reduced or eliminated. In the unlikely event of manual cleaning being necessary, it is a simple process using a high pressure hand lance.

Hydrok will also provide a planned maintenance programme to ensure optimum performance at all times. This will be carried out by our own locally based maintenance engineers.

The manual cleaning of tanks and diffusers should be avoided where possible. By using extractable sample points that provide a safe means of examining the conditions at the bottom of the tank without draining down, the need for man entry can be significantly reduced.
