METHODOLOGY FOR CHEMICAL FLUSHING OF CHILLED WATER & CONDENSER PIPING SYSTEM
A. PREPARATORY WORKS
1. Pressure testing of system of CHWS & CHWR/ COWS & COWR horizontal & vertical
2. Inspection and verification of completeness of piping system hangers and support for vertical and horizontal
3. Inspection and verification of completeness of the piping system
4. Inspection of all drainage system to be used as drain point
5. Coordinate water fill to special trade contractor
6. Energization / testing of pumps to be used on water circulation
7. Inspection of bypass loop for the system flushing
B. PRE-COMMISSIONING
1. Initial Water Filling
1.1 System filling of chilled water risers / branches & condenser , thru plumbing contractor make-up water pump based on the
approved filling line and operating level
1.2 Purging on the air vents to attain clean and airless water in the system
2. Initial Pre-Flushing (Gravity Flushing)
2.1 A water sample from the system will be taken for laboratory analysis before the start-up of pre operational clean –out.
This will be labelled as “Sample #1- Before Flushing”. The analysis will consist of the following parameters:
pH, total alkalinity (bicarbonates, carbonates & hydroxides), total hardness (calcium & magnesium), chlorides, phosphates,
sulfites, nitrite, iron, total dissolved solids, color, odor.
2.2 The expected raw water quality will be the domestic water from the Manila Water which will serve as our basis for the
completion of rinsing process when the pre-operational clean-out will take place. Stated below are the parameters with
their corresponding values of the standard water quality which will serve as a guide in achieving the end point of the
cleaning process prior to the chemical treatment proper.
2.3 Initial / Pre-flushing (GRAVITY FLUSHING) of the system water at least one third of its original total volume and injecting
fresh water simultaneously is the first thing that needs to be done. This will ensure removal of suspended matter and to
wash out welding fluxes, dirt & other contaminants present inside the pipeline during the construction & piping installation
prior to chemical injection.
2.4 Draining of the system totally will depend on the physical appearance of the water that will be flushed out of the system,
i.e clarity or turbidity.
3. Initial Circulation/Flushing
3.1 Refill again the chilled water pipe until totally filled up
3.2 Circulate the water system using the required number of pumps to attain the required flowrate , velocity & pressure to
ensure proper agitation of dirt on the piping
3.3 Conduct Water sampling (Note : draining/flushing point will also serve as sampling point in a random basis)
4. Chemical Flushing
4.1 Once the water coming of the system is visibly clear, chemical injection and recirculation process will automatically follow.
The quantity of chemicals needed is based on the chemical dilution ratio and on the volume of the circulating water of the
system. Chemical to be used is FSQ-INSUREV C 200, Optimum Strength Pre-Operational System Flusher; consist of powerful
blend of alkalis, wetting agent and detergent.
4.2 Injection of pre-operational system flusher chemicals will be done thru pressurized pump, (provide injection point of
chemicals). This chemical will act as dispersant of the degreasing in order to get rid of dirt, oil, grease, mill scale & other
impurities present in the pipes.
4.3 When the system is completely filled-up with the mixture of flushing chemicals & water, circulate the system water for at
least 12-24 hours or even longer depending on the severity of dirt, oil, grease & mill scale.
4.4 A second sample labeled as “Sample #2 – During Flushing “will be taken to check the distribution of flushing chemicals on
the piping. Random sampling on every floor will be taken to check and ensure complete circulation of the flushing solution
to the entire piping system. This will be labelled as “Sample #2-A, #2-B”.
4.5 Total drain/flush the system water after the set time or circulation..
5. Waste Disposal
5.1 For waste disposal after the chemical circulation , disposal will be carried out thru
- Sewerage Tank / Sumpit . 1st flushing diluted with flushing chemicals together with the contaminants such as corrosion
products , welding fluxes etc. brought by the effect of the flushing process conducted will be drain on sewerage tank /
sumpit provided by plumbing contractor , then water sample will be check for its pH value if it needs neutralization or not
prior to gradual disposal. Accepted pH value will be 7.0-8.5.
6. Rinsing Process
6.1 Feed the system again with raw water and allow it to recirculate again.
6.2 Flushing/gradual draining with simultaneous feeding of raw water and recirculation process will be done repeatedly until
clear and non foamy/bubbly water is obtained.
6.3 In between flushing and recirculation process, the water quality will be closely monitored. Another water sample labelled
as “Sample #3 – Rinsing Sample” will be taken for analysis to determine the completion of the rinsing process.
Approximately five (5) times refilling/draining will complete the rinsing process. A final sample which will be labelled as
“Sample #4 – Final Rinsing Sample”will be taken upon completion of rinsing. There should be enough water supply to speed
up the rinsing process.
6.4 During and in-between the rinsing process, cleaning of all the wye-strainer will be done simultaneously as well as on cooling
tower basin , louvers & fillers for the condenser system.
6.5 With the comparison of test results of all water samples taken before , during and after the final rinsing process and based on
the parameters of the standard quality of raw water obtained, we can therefore make conclusions that flushing and rinsing is
complete and that the piping system is ready for connection on equipment.
7. Piping Connection to Equipment
7.1 All the temporary by-pass, valves, strainers will be removed prior to interconnection with the equipment.
7.2 Interconnection of piping system to the equipment.
Note : for those branches of AHU / FCU that was not included in the loop during the chemical flushing, a BLOWDOWN / chemical
flushing will be conducted separately prior to piping connection to the equipment.
7.3 After connection, POST FLUSHING at the equipment and to the entire whole piping system.
8. Chemical Treatment Proper
8.1 Prior to chemical treatment proper, a complete water circulation on the entire water piping system together with a minimal
post flushing with will be conducted until acceptable water quality is obtain.
8.2 Final water sampling which will be labelled as “Sample #5 – Post Flushing Sample” will be analyzed on-site before the
injection of the chemical treatment.
8.3 Injection of passivation chemicals, will serve as protection film to inhibit corrosion formation. Chemical to be used for
passivation.
