3.2
INSTALLATION
Lift separator as required without parallel plate packs [or vertical tube
packs] in place onto level foundation using lifting mechanism provided.
Level separator and bolt to supports to prevent hydrostatic uplift and
ensure unit stability. Use a lifting bar through lugs to insert plate
packs into separator and place on supports. Caulk around packs and pack
supports with sealing compound conforming to FS SS-S-210 or to MIL-S-45180
to prevent hydraulic short-circuiting. Avoid abrupt contact between the
packs and the separator walls and pack supports to avoid damage. Separator
system installation shall be conducted in accordance with manufacturer's
recommendations.

FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
3.3.1
Field Hydrostatic Test
After separator has been leveled and secured to foundation and parallel
plate packs [or vertical tube packs] are in place, level effluent overflow
weir at elevation specified by manufacturer and hydrostatically test unit
at atmospheric or operational pressure (for no leakage) for an additional 8
hours by filling with water. Perform the hydrostatic test prior to
backfilling below ground or partially below ground installations.
3.3.2
Preoperational Test
The manufacturer's service representative shall inspect, operate, and test
unit before in-service testing by the Contractor.
3.3.2.1
Tests
Tests shall include but not be limited to the following:
a.
Soundness (without cracked or otherwise damaged parts).
b.
Completeness in all details, as specified.
c.
Correctness of setting, alignment, and relative arrangement of
each component.
d.
Verification of proper operation for all system components.
3.3.2.2
Preoperational Investigation and Test Report
Submit manufacturer's service representative's preoperational test report.
Document inspections, operations, adjustments, and tests performed and
indicate whether they were acceptable or not. For unacceptable items,
describe corrective action taken or recommended. Include detailed
descriptions of points inspected, tests and adjustments made, quantitative
results obtained if such are specified, and suggestions for precautions to
be taken to ensure proper maintenance. Include the manufacturer's
certificate that equipment conforms to specified requirements and is ready
for permanent operation and that nothing in installation will render
manufacturer's warranty null and void.
3.3.3
In-Service Test
After hydrostatic test and preoperational test have been successfully
