                RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES

Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series. These nine broad cate-
gories were established to facilitate further development and  application of en-
vironmental technology.  Elimination of traditional grouping was  consciously
planned to foster technology transfer and a maximum interface in related fields.
The nine series are:

      1.  Environmental Health Effects Research
      2.  Environmental Protection Technology
      3.  Ecological Research
      4.  Environmental Monitoring
      5.  Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
      6.  Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
      7.  Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
      8.  "Special" Reports
      9.  Miscellaneous Reports

This report has been assigned to the ENVIRONMENTAL  PROTECTION TECH-
 NOLOGY series. This series describes research performed to develop and dem-
 onstrate instrumentation, equipment, and methodology to repair or prevent en-
 vironmental degradation from point and non-point sources of pollution. This work
 provides the new or improved technology required for the control  and treatment
 of pollution sources to meet environmental quality standards.

                            FOREWORD


When energy and material resources are extracted, processed,  con-
verted, and used, the related pollutional impacts on our environ-
ment and even on our health often require that new and increas-
ingly more efficient pollution control methods be used.  The
Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory-Cincinnati  (lERL-Ci)
assists in developing and demonstrating new and improved method-
ologies that will meet these needs both efficiently and  economi-
cal ly.

The subject of this report  is "Emergency  Collection System  for
Spilled Hazardous Materials."  It represents  an accounting  of a
development program whose primary objective was the evolution of
a  pumping and temporary  storage  unit  for  field use.  The end  re-
sult of this program was the design,  fabrication, testing,  and
demonstration of two operable units.   Users who may find this
report valuable are municipal and private organizations  who may
be called upon to control a hazardous  material spill.  These
would  include fire and  rescue squads,  pollution control  teams,
National  Guard and local militia.  The field  units described
herein are readily fabricated from commercially available com-
ponents.  The report may also be of value to  research  users who
may wish  to further extend  the capabilities of these units  by
utilizing specifically-designed  components.   Further information

                            ABSTRACT
A prepackaged pumping and storage system for the collection and
temporary containment of hazardous land spills was designed and
two models developed.  Each model includes a pump, hoses, furled
self-deploying 26,500 a (7000 gal) capacity plastic bag array
all mounted on a pallet for transporting by pickup truck.  The
first model also includes batteries, electric motor, and starter,
while the improved second model  carries a gasoline-powered pump
engine and-fuel.  Nominal pumping rates are 200 and 300 Jlpm (50
and 80 gpm).   Commercially available components were specified.
The effect of pump speed, fluid  viscosity, and vapor pressure
on flowrate were determined.   Polyurethane diking possibilities
were also investigated.  System  demonstrations are described.

                            SECTION 1

                          INTRODUCTION


A program was undertaken for the Industrial  Environmental  Re-
search Laboratory to develop and construct an  emergency col-
lection system for spilled hazardous materials.   Specifically,
the program involved the development,  fabrication,  demonstration
and evaluation of two working systems  for transferring hazardous
liquid chemicals from a diked or sumped pool  or  from a damaged
transportation vehicle to a temporary  storage  bag.   The original
system developed consists, essentially, of a  folded four-part,
26,500 s, (7000 gal) bag; a pump; 30 m  (100 ft) of hose; and  a
battery power supply.  The second system is  a  modified version
of the original one utilizing a gasoline engine-powered pump
and featuring greater operating efficiency.

Included in this report are descriptions of  the  design study,
component selection and assembly, and  the operation and per-
formance testing (which were conducted as part of the develop-
ment of these systems).  In a later stage of  the program,
attempts were made to improve the adhesive properties of poly-
urethane foam for use as a diking substance  to contain hazardous
spills.

                            SECTION 2

                           CONCLUSIONS
The research and development project described in  this report
resulted in the construction of two functioning emergency
collection systems for spilled hazardous materials.   Conditions
that could be encountered in field operations of the system were
carefully considered in the design phase of the project.   These
conditions include (1) possible terrain problems,  (2)  generation
of static electricity, (3)  operating and servicing accessibility
(4) portability, and (5)  chemical  resistance.  The selection and
assembly of system components was  described.   System operation
has been detailed in two  operating manuals (Appendices A  and B),
which were prepared following the  performance tests  of the units

The original requirements for size, weight, operability and
collection capacity have  been essentially met.  Pumping capacity
and portability were improved considerably in the  second  unit.
Polyurethane dikes were effective  in spill containment except
on wet, smooth surfaces.

                         RECOMMENDATIONS


The collection systems developed under this  program have  been
tested under controlled conditions.  It remains  to be  seen  how
effectively they function under actual  field conditions.   Hence
the first recommendation is to employ  the systems  at accidental
spill  sites.

Each commercially available system component was  selected on  the
basis  of its ability to function in the system.   Some  restric-
tions, such as size and weight, were imposed in  order  to  in-
crease portability of the systems.  For example,  a 5.08 cm  (2  in
hose was selected instead of a 7.62 cm (3 in.)  in  order to  limit
the size of the hose reel.   Hence the  second recommendation is
to consider alternate components for future  system designs  in
order to achieve desired operating characteristics not present
in these systems.

                            SECTION 4

                          DESIGN STUDY


The design philosophy employed in the development of the first
model of the emergency collection system was based on the
following principles:

     A.  Meeting established or modified specifications
         (design criteria).

     B.  Providing adequate  safety features.

     C.  Providing adequate  access for system maintenance.

     D.  Reducing system operating complexity.

     E.  Providing for application flexibility.

SYSTEM DESIGN CRITERIA

Size and Weight Restrictions

The foremost requirement was that the entire system be trans-
portable by small truck, pickup, van, or dual-wheeled railroad
vehicles.  Originally this requirement was thought to impose
size and weight limitations  of 1.2 m (4 ft) x 1.2 m (4 ft)  x
0.6 m (2 ft) high and 450 kg (1000 lb).  However these were
found to be unnecessarily restrictive.  Modified envelope limits
for the first model  were set at 1.2 m (4 ft) x  1.2 m (4 ft) x
1.2 m (4 ft) and weight limit at 550 kg (1200 lb) with the  system
pallet mounted.  These limits were expanded for the second  system
to 1.2 m (4 ft) x 1.8 m (5.5 ft) x 1.2 m (4 ft).

Receiving Bag
*
The intent of the program was to devise a collection system for
any hazardous material.  Since no single material was available
that could withstand all possible hazardous materials, the  de-
sign philosophy was  to select a bag material whose mechanical
strength would be minimally  affected by most materials during
a  short-term storage period.

-------
The burst strength requirement of the bag is dependent on its
volume and attitude of deployment (i.e., slope of hi 11 side ,etc .)
as well as oh the density or weight of the fluid to be contained
within the bag.   Here again the design philosophy was  to specify
a bag material burst strength which would be satisfactory for
most materials rather than designing for a "worst case".

The size of the receiving bag, or combination of bags, was speci-
fied on the basis of the volume required to contain the contents
of a standard highway tanker truck, i.e., about 26,500 £ (7000
gal).  For purposes of portability and reliability, a  combination
of bags rather than one large bag was deemed more desirable.   If
the collected material in the bag could not conveniently be
transferred on.-location, a smaller bag could possibly  be trans-
ported to another site.  Also, if one smaller bag should rupture,
the remaining bags in the group could still be utilized. Sausage-
shaped bags were selected in order to minimize seam stresses
which may become . severe at the corners of a pillow-shaped bag.
The latter type can be reinforced internally at additional cost.

Pumping System

The pumping system, which also must be compatible with most
hazardous materials, had no real  basis for sizing.   It was
arbitrarily decided that it be capable of transferring 26,500 £
(7000 gal) within a time period of about 2 hrs.  Like  the pump
size, the power system also lacked a firm basis for size or
type.  Due to size and weight considerations, a one horsepower
explosion proof electric motor was chosen as the power plant  for
the first model.  This choice was decided in part by  the fact
that this was the minimum input consistent with the 13,200 Jt/hr
(3500 gph) set for the pump.  For the second model, a  more power-
ful but lighter weight three horsepower explosion-resistant
engine was specified.

Power Supply

The power supply must be operable independent of any  outside
source.  There were three alternatives -- electric  power, liquid
fuel power or a combination such  as a diesel generator-powered
electric motor.   Batteries were selected to be the  power source
for the first model and gasoline  for the second.  The  type and
number of batteries employed are  determined by the  pump/motor
requirements.  The basic requirement is sufficient  power to  run
the motor for two hours on a single battery charge.  Other con-
siderations also exist: size, weight, power-to-weight  ratio,
cost, etc.

An alternate power source was deemed desirable in situations
where the systems would be required to operate longer than two
hours,for  example,if additional bags had to be used to accommodate

-------
 a  rail  tank  car  spill.  Provisions were necessary to connect to
 auxiliary  power  such as a motor-generator set.

 SYSTEM  SAFETY

 The  overall  system should be deployable on rough terrain by not
 more  than  two men and operable by a man in a protective suit.

 The  primary  safety consideration is that of static electricity
 buildup  during bag filling operations.  Other areas of system
 safety  included  the possible explosion hazard created by elec-
 trical  arcs  or sparks and the general safe handling of cor-
 rosive  or  otherwise hazardous materials.

 The  quantity of  electric charges generated by petroleum products
 flowing  through  pipelines is proportional  to the 2nd power of
 the  liquid's linear velocity in the pipeline.  The presence of
 water or gas in  the flowing liquid can increase the charging
 effect  by  a  factor of up to 50.  With hydrocarbon-water mixtures
 a  maximum  linear velocity of 1  m/sec is generally accepted as
 being safe.  Products free from water or any other second phase
 may  be  pumped through pipelines at linear velocities of up to
 7  m/sec.

 Although pumping of oil  products through pipelines may result
 in considerable  electrification of the liquid, the operation
 in itself  is not dangerous, since no explosive gas mixture is
 present  in either the lines or the pumps.   The situation be-
 comes dangerous, however, when the pump or the filter discharges
 through a  short  line, or through a line made of insulating ma-
 terial into a tank containing an explosive gas mixture.

 Specific methods of reducing static charge include the use of
 conductive hose to permit leakage of charge to ground, using
 a collapsed bag to prevent gases from forming in the headspace,
 proper sizing of hose to limit flow velocity, and placing of
 bag entry  ports to prevent excessive splashing.

 Electrical  components which carry sufficient power to arc be-
 tween contacts  and possibly produce an explosion in a hazardous
 atmosphere should be encased in a hermetically sealed enclosure
 or in an approved explosion proof box.  Such components  include
 motors,  motor starters,  switches, etc.

 OPERATING  PROCEDURE

The system design was directed  to simple operation.   Routine de-
 ployment and operation of the system was not to entail  complex
maneuvers or personal  contact with the spilled material.   Hose
 connections should require no special tools or wrenches.   Elec-
 trical controls should be explicit and require minimum operating
 instructions.  The collection bag should be readily removable

-------
from its housing for rapid deployment.   All  components which re
quire servicing or replacement should be located within the
system in a manner which affords easy access by maintenance
personnel.

Material Selection

On the basis of discussions with both material  and inflatable
structures manufacturers, two types of materials,  urethane
coated or polyvinyl chloride coated fabrics, were  deemed suit-
able for the first model.  Both had good resistance to a broad
range of chemicals, could be readily fabricated into a variety
of shapes and were both currently in use for inflatable struc-
tures.  There was some disagreement on which had the best
puncture resistance but in each case it was considered adequate
for the application.   Urethane material was more expensive, but
the final choice of a polyvinyl chloride material  was based upon
fabrication considerations of the selected design.

The material ultimately selected was a polyester fabric rein-
forced PVC, Shelterlite Style 7026, 0.75 mm (0.030 in.) thick.
In this, as for all other materials and components, equivalents
are available from other manufacturers.  Selections were based
upon cost, availability and, in some cases, prior  experience.

For the second bag, a two-ply urethane coated nylon material
was specified in order to improve abrasion resistance and low
temperature capability (Shelter-Rite 7028, 0.8 mm  [0.032 in.]).

Bag Design

The original bag design was evolved in cooperation with PICO,
Division of Sargent Industries, of San Francisco,  California.
It reflects two considerations -- containing the fluid without
rupture and a nonrolling condition with hillside deployment.
The basic design is shown in Figure 1.  It consists of three
cylindrical bags fed  by a fourth header bag.  With this arrange-
ment, the bag is stable on sloping ground.

Design burst strength is 0.75 atm (11 psi) with a  stated working
pressure of 0.39 atm  (5.7 psi).  This corresponds  to a water
filled bag on a 60° slope.  In the filled condition the bag
could not be held on  a slope greater than 30°.   Designing to  60
compensates for liquids of densities greater than  water.

-------
The bags are filled from an inlet to the header bag which serves
as a manifold to fill  the other three bags but fluid does not
flow as rapidly into these three until  the header is partially
filled.  Exit ports are provided in all  four bags of each model
for subsequent fluid removal and disposal.  The bags of the
first model are held together by a series of nylon fabric straps.
The ports are simply fabric tubes located at either end of each
individual bag.

The bags of the second model are held together by belts and tie
patches in order to reduce stresses resulting when bags are
filled on uneven terrain.  Each of the four individual  bags is
equipped with two screw-type bulkhead ports and with internal
0.3 m (1 ft) long rigid tubes at each port to facilitate back
transfer of material under suction to another vessel following
spill cleanup. Accordian-style bag interconnecting tubes were
specified to prevent pinching during bag filling operations but
were later replaced with more durable,  straight-walled  tubes.

The first set of bags   is white with orange strapping.   The ends
and sides have red reflector patches.  The second model bags are
also white with red reflector patches.   The strappings  are re-
placed with blue belts.  A spare third  set of bags is identical
to the second set.

During the design phase consideration was given to configurations
other than cylindrical tubes since it was obvious that  the cy-
lindrical shape would  not persist when  the bag was filled with
a liquid.  Any attempt to match the shape to be experienced with
liquid filling would complicate fabrication.  Flat designs such
as in air mattresses and the like would  be easier to fabricate
but the nonuniform stresses which result from the pillow shape
were considered difficult to maintain due to possible peeling
effects at the exposed corners.

Material Testing

During the design phase but extending into the manufacturing
phase limited material testing was conducted to determine the
effect of chemical exposure on material  strength.  Samples of
the vinyl material selected for the bag  fabrication were com-
patibility tested using seventeen chemicals.  Each test con-
sisted of a 24-hr soak of 2.5 x 7 cm (1  x 2.8 in.) specimens
followed by measurement of changes in elongation and tear
strength.  Untested material samples showed tear strengths or
breaking loads ranging from 101-119 kg (225-265 Ibs).  Tests
on exposed material are reported in Table 1.  Only two  chemicals,
sulfuric acid and acetone cyanhydrin, definitely deteriorated
the mechanical strength of the material.  Four other chemicals,
methyl alcohol, sodium peroxide, MEK and hydrofluoric acid, did
produce siight 'degradation of the material strength.

 Due  to  the  cylindrical  configuration not all seams could be  heat
 sealed.   The  hemispherical ends were adhesive sealed. This was
 one  consideration  in  fabric selection for the collection bag.
 With  PVC  adhesive  joints would be equally chemical resistant
 with  the  base  fabric.   With urethane there was some concern  as
 to the  integrity of the adhesive bond under chemical attack.

 At the  time the second  model was designed, a urethane coated
 nylon material became available which could be seamed or joined
 by heat bonding instead of adhesive bonding.  This material  also
 has  good  abrasion-resistance and low temperature rouge but is
 more  costly than the  PVC material.

 PUMPING COMPONENTS

 Pump  and  Motor

 A self-priming centrifugal pump (ITT Marlow Model 1-1/2 HE
 19 EI_)was selected after careful  consideration of the factors
 involved.   A comparison of characteristics for three types of
 pumps --  rotary, straight centrifugal  and self-priming centri-
 fugal --  is presented in Table 2.   Performance curves for the
 pump  selected are  given in Figure 2.  At 1 HP and 2500 rpm it
 has a zero head capacity of 190 £ (50 gal)/min and a related
 suction lift of 7.6 m (25 ft).

 Motor selection for the first model was based on the following
 factors:

     a.   Weight

     b.   Explosion proof housing

     c.   Compatabi1ity with pump

The motor  selected is a Reliance Electric Company compound wound
Model L263679'  which is rated 1 HP  at 2500 rpm with a 25-volt DC
power supply.   The effect of 24-volt operation instead of 25-volt
is shown in Figure 2  (2400 rpm curve).   Running current draw at
24-volts is 38.3  amps after an instantaneous start-up surge of
about 550  amps.  In a later modification the battery supply was
rewired  to produce 36-volt output  to the motor.   The resulting
change in  pump performance is shown in  Figure 3.

For the  second model  the identical  pump was  employed mounted
close coupled  to  a 3-HP explosion  resistant  gasoline-powered,
one cylinder engine.   This provided greater  pump speed (see    '
Figure 3)  and  reduced the weight of the system considerably by
eliminating the batteries, motor starter and extensive support
structure.  An explosion-proof fuel  container was selected  for
mounting on the pallet of the second model.

 FLUID  HANDLING COMPONENTS

 Hoses

 Hose size was dictated by the pump selected.  Hose type,  however,
 was  influenced by a number of factors including:

     a.  Weight per unit length

     b.  Vacuum rating

     c.  Bending radius

     d.  Chemical resistance

     e.  Cost

     f.  Durability of outer jacket

 Bending  radius was one of the most critical items since  it  dic-
 tated  the minimum diameter of the hose reel.  The reel is one
 of the larger components in the system.  With most chemical  ser-
 vice hose of 5 cm (2 in.) inside diameter  (dictated by the  pump),
 the  bend radius was so large that an acceptable reel could  not
 be accommodated within the design envelope.  The system  was  de-
 signed to contain 30 m (100 ft) of hose in two 15 m (50  ft)
 lengths.  No single hose selection was possible which rated
 "good" on all factors.   It was decided to  evaluate two types of
 hoses  on the first model.

     a.  A Teflon suction hose with a spiralled steel wire  rein-
 forcement and a braided  stainless steel outside jacket (Tite-
 flex R276).  This hose has a static-dissipating convoluted
 Teflon-fiberglass innercore, a vacuum rating of 71 cm Hg (28 in.
 Hg), and a minimum bend  radius of 0.18 m (7 in.).  A smaller
 diameter (0.04 m [1.5 in.]) Teflon hose was chosen to connect
 the  pump discharge to the collection bag.

     b.  A 0.05 m (2 in.) diameter acid-chemical transfer hose
 (Gates 45HW).  This uses a modified olefin compound with an
 outer  reinforcement of synthetic fiber and spiralled steel  wire
 between  layers of braid, has no static dissipation, with a
'rated  minimum bend radius of 0-12 m (5 in.).  On the second
 model, two 15 m (50 ft)  sections of chemical hose were used
 instead  of one chemical  and one Teflon/stainless steel hose.
 The  steel hose is more flexible but can be crushed more  easily
 and  is considerably more expensive.  A conductive Teflon  hose
 was  retained for the pump-to-collection bag link, however.

 Valves and Fittings

 All  plumbing components  selected are stainless steel with the

                               16

-------
exception of the inlet strainer which is nickel-piated steel.
Couplings (Evertite) are provided to mate the suction hoses to
tankers, strainer or to each other.

Double shut-off quick disconnects were selected  for connecting
the discharge hose to the system.  With these, filled collection
bags can be disconnected and new bags connected  without spilling
or leaking fluid from either the bag or the pumping system.  Im-
provement in pump efficiency was attained by increasing the size
of the pump outlet quick-connect couplings and by eliminating
bends in the pump inlet piping.

The coarse inlet strainer may be attached to the hose inlet to
minimize uptake of pebbles and other solids.  A  Y-type strainer
is set just upstream of the pump in the first model  to protect
against the injestion of grit.  In the second model  a basket
type strainer was used in the same location.

Hose Reel
The hose reel selected for the first model  is a 0.39 m (15-1/2
in.) inside diameter double reel  (Hannay Co.  Model  8234-33-34)
capable of holding the two 15 m (50 ft) lengths of  hose.   One
length is attached through the rotary seal  to the pump while
the other length is coiled separately.

This hose reel configuration was  selected because of its  versa-
tility in handling a number of situations as  follows:

     a.  Pumping from a diked area or tanker  within
         15 m (50 ft) of the system (one hose only).

     b.  Pumping from a diked area or tanker  within
         30 m (100 ft) (2 coupled hoses).

     c.  Pumping from two diked areas or tankers or
         combination (2 separate  hoses).

At times when only one hose is needed the other remains coiled
on the reel.  A bulkhead separates the  two  sections of the reel
A geared manual  crank is provided for hose  rewind.

For the second model two individual hose reels were employed,
one with an axial swivel fitting  as in  the  first model, and one
with no such fitting to be used simply  for  storage.  This
arrangement facilitates the independent deployment  of the hoses
Separate cranks are provided.

POWER SUPPLY AND ACCESSORIES

Batteries

Battery types considered as possible motor power supplies in-
cluded silver oxide-zinc, silver oxide-cadmium, nickel-cadmiurn ,
nickel-iron and lead-acid.   The basic requirements set  by the
motor were 38.3 amps at 25  volts DC for two hours with  no down-
time for charging or replacement.   Factors considered in battery
selection included the following:

     a.  Shelf life       d.  No.  of cells

     b.  Cost             e.  Charging requirements

     c.  Energy density   f.  No.  of allowable recharge cycles

Table 3 summarizes each type in terms of the important  require-
ments.  With the exception  of orientation, the lead-acid battery
exhibited the best combination of  characteristics.

The battery finally selected for the first model  was the Globe
gel/cell, Part No. GC12200, which  is a modified lead-acid
battery using a gelled type of electrolyte in place of  water.
This modification permits the battery to be sealed, eliminating
the orientation difficulty.  Technically,  silver-zinc and silver-
cadmium were also acceptable and in some terms slightly superior.
Cost, however, was significantly greater both for the cells and
the charging system.  For the purpose of the first unit, twelve
of the gel/cells were considered adequate.

Included in the battery circuit is an explosion-proof motor
starter (Control Products P/0 25203) which incorporates a run-
charge selector, start switch, and a voltage level monitor
(Calex Voltsensor Model 325) to protect the batteries from deep
discharge.   The latter component monitors  the battery voltage
continuously.  An output signal from the monitor is used to
initiate visible and/or audible alarms.

A separately packaged battery charger is used to maintain the
charge level of the battery pack during storage.   A constant
voltage power supply (Power Mate Corporation Model UNI-30F) is
used in series with a current limiting rheostat in order to
maintain a  float potential  of 27.3 volts.   It remains connected
to the batteries constantly during standby times.

A schematic battery charger circuit is given in Figure  4.Charac-
teristics of the gelled lead-acid  cell are given  in Table 4.

LIQUID FUEL

In order to improve  pump  efficiency for the second  model,  several
configurations  using liquid  fuel  were  considered.   One of  these
involved an electric pump motor driven by a diesel-powered gen-
erator.   Another configuration  considered was  a direct drive pump
with a liquid fuel-powered engine.

The power supply finally  selected for  the second model was an
explosion-resistant  3-HP  single cylinder gasoline  engine,  close-
coupled  to the  same  type  of  pump  used  in the first  model.   This
engine provided a  pump  speed of 3450  rpm with  a corresponding
increase in pump capacity.   Comparative pump performance  curves
are shown in Figure  3.  The  second  model pump  and  engine  unit is
also more compact  and lighter weight  than the  first model.
Further  decreases  in size and weight  are realized  through  the
elimination of  the batteries, rack,  support structure, and motor
starter  cabinet.

                        COMPONENT  ASSEMBLY
 FIRST  MODEL
 A  detailed study  was  undertaken  to  determine  the  most  feasible
 component  arrangement.   A  component layout  plan  for  the  first
 system  is  shown  in  Figure  5.   Due to  size  limits  imposed on  the
 system,  component assembly was  a  case  of  finding  a way to  fit all
 items on a  1.2 m  x  1.2  m (4 ft  x  4  ft)  base.

 Three items  were  designed  and  fabricated  to facilitate assembly.
 A  ribbed and laminate-reinforced  plastic  pallet  was  built  to
 serve as a  mounting base for  all  system components.  The system
 may  thus be  lifted  and/or  transported  by  a  fork-lift having
 1.2m (48  in.) arms.

 A  special  bag  housing was  fabricated  from  corrugated aluminum
 and  stainless  steel angle  braces.   A  drop-away front panel con-
 tains a  quick-release mechanical  latch  to  facilitate fast  de-
 ployment of  the  bag at  the scene  of a  spill.

 A  battery  rack assembly was also  fabricated.  Batteries  are
 arranged in  two  rows  of six cells each  and  mounted in a  framed
 tray.   The  tray,  supported on  casters,  is  positioned underneath
 the  pump and motor  assembly channel.   Handles are attached to
 one  side of  the  roller  tray to  provide  easy access to battery
 terminals  for  testing or battery  replacement.

 Figure  6 is  an overall  view of  the  system.  The  bag  in its hous-
 ing  is  mounted on one edge of  the pallet.   Behind the housing on
 one  side is  the  reel  and on the  other  the  pump and motor with the
 batteries  located beneath.   The  low voltage detector/alarm is
 mounted  adjacent  to the coupling  between  the  motor and pump.  The
•motor starter  control box  is  located  at the pallet edge  opposite
 the  bag  housing.

 The  system,  as assembled,  is  ready  to  operate except for the con-
 nection  of  the bag  hose to the  pump discharge port.  This  is done
 after the  bag  has been  deployed  from  the  housing  and unfolded.
 At the  lower rear of  the bag  housing  is a  cut out to allow con-
 nection  of  the bag  hose via quick disconnect  fittings.   Both ends
 of the  connection --  the hose  from  the  bag  and the pipe  from the
 pump discharge port --  are closed automatically  when unplugged.

In this way disconnection  cannot  result  in  spillage  from either
the bag or the pumping  unit.   A second  quick  disconnect  is  pro-
vided to allow two  bags  to be  filled  from the same pump  dis-
charge.  Since both quick  disconnects  are manifolded together
they may be used to switch in  a second  bag  after the first  is
full without shutting  down the pump  and  without spillage.

A three-way ball  valve  located adjacent  to  the hose  reel allows
two spill  pickups to be  connected to  the pump suction port.   Al-
though they cannot  operate simultaneously,  there are potential
instances  where alternation between  two  pickups may  be desirable,
such as the draining of  a  damaged vehicle and the collection of
material already spilled from  the vehicle.

SECOND MODEL

The component layout plan  for  the second model  is shown  in  Figure
7.  The general  plan of  the first model  was retained with  respect
to positioning of collection bag  housing, hoses and  pump.   The
pallet size was increased  to 1.2  m x  1.8 m  (4 ft x 5.5 ft)  to
accommodate the larger  bag housing and  piping.   An aluminum
pallet was used instead  of a plastic  one to achieve  greater  ri-
gity and stability.   Remaining pallet space was allocated  to
a 3.8 £ (1 gal)  explosion-proof gasoline container and a parts
and tool box.   Plumbing  was revised to  achieve  lower pressure
drop.  A three-way  ball  valve  was installed which permits  pumping
from either or both of  the inlet  hoses  simultaneously.

                   SYSTEM OPERATING  PROCEDURE
BAG DEPLOYMENT

As soon as the site  has  been  selected  for deploying the  bag,  the
bag housing door is  opened  by depressing  the  keeper bar  of the
latching assembly.   The  spring loaded  door falls  away from the
bag housing.   The bag  then  drops  easily  to the  ground.   After
the bag is deployed  and  unfolded,  the  inlet hose  is connected
to one of the quick-disconnect fittings  on the  pump discharge
line located  at the  lower rear of  the  bag housing.

SUCTION HOSE  DEPLOYMENT

Deployment procedure for the  hose(s)  depends  on  (1) distance
from system to spill,  sump  or tanker,  and (2)  whether one or
two points are to be evacuated.   For  a single  point spill lo-
cated within  15 m (50  ft) of  the  hose  reel, only  the hose con-
nected directly to  the reel  is deployed.   The  appropriate fitting
is then mounted on  the hose  end.   Fittings available include
filter chamber, 5 cm (2  in.)  tanker coupling,  10  cm (4  in.)
tanker coupling and  nozzle.

For a single  point-spill  located  between  15 and  30  m (50 and  100
ft) from the  hose reel,  both  hoses are unreeled  simultaneously.
The hoses are then  connected  together  to  achieve  greater length.

For two point-spill  sources,  such  as  a ruptured  tanker  and a
ground spill, both  hoses are  unreeled  and fitted  with desired
connectors or filters.  The  unattached hose is  then connected
to the unused port  of  the 3-way valve.  Maximum  range for such
a configuration is  15  m  (50  ft)  from  the  hose  reel.

GROUNDING

Where required, the  system  should  be  shielded  from  static elec-
tricity generation  by  connecting  the  pump frame  to  ground.

PUMPING

After hoses and bag  have been deployed and connected, the pump is
actuated by turning  selector  knob  on  motor starter  cabinet to


                               28

-------
"RUN" and depressing the "ON" push button momentarily.   The three
way ball valve handle must be in the its down position  in order
to pump via the hose attached to the hose reel and rotary seal.
In its up position pumping action is via the port located above
the valve.  With the batteries fully charged and no restrictions
in the pump lines, the system will pump up to 2-1/2 hours.

An operating manual included as an Appendix has been prepared
which describes in detail the procedures for recharging the
batteries and servicing the individual systems components.   A
complete parts list is also included.

                         SYSTEM TESTING


The following tests were conducted with either one or both  models
of the collection system.

     1.  A material strength test on the first system was  per-
formed by filling the bags with 23,500 £ (6200 gal)  of water.
Intentions were to continue filling to the 26,500 a  (7000  gal)
rated bag capacity however a pinched connecting tube prevented
transfer of additional water from the header bag to  one of  the
feeder bags.  Water was pumped to the system via a fire hose
through an in-line integrating flow meter at a rate  of 197  £/min
(52 gpm).

     2.  A patch kit test was performed on the filled bags  of the
first model and on the semi-filled bags of the second model.
Several holes had become noticeable in the bags by emitting drops
or thin sprays of water.  Attempts to repair these holes showed
that patches would not adhere to a wet surface, however, small
plugs could be inserted which effectively stopped the leaks.
Patches may be applied to clean dry surfaces of the  bag, pre-
treated with methyl ethyl ketone.

     3.  The effect of pump speed (rpm) on flowrate  (gpm)  was
measured.  In order to increase the rpm of the pump  in the  first
model, the batteries were rewired to provide 36 volts (37.5 volts
open circuit) instead of 24 volts.  This change increased  the
pump motor speed from 2263 (under load) to 2882 (also under
load).  Three trial times were obtained by circulating water
from one 208 I (55 gal) drum to another via a 15 m (50 ft)
length of 5 cm (2 in.) diameter chemical transfer hose and  a
3 m (10 ft) of 3.8 cm (1-1/2 in.) corrugated Teflon  hose.   Two
tests at 24 volts were also carried out.  Results are shown in
Table 5.  Hence, a 27% increase in pump speed resulted in  a 25%
increase in water flowrate.  Operation of the unit at the  higher
voltage presents no apparent problems since the pump is rated  up
to 3600 rpm.  The current drain is proportionately lower at the
higher voltage hence battery life should remain near 2.5 hours
of continuous operation before recharging.

     4.  Both models were operated with materials of widely
varying viscosities.  Trial  times were obtained by circulating
the material between 208 £ (55 gal) drums.  Viscosities were
determined by Ostwald viscometer on aliquots taken from each
material tested.  In the case of a sodium silicate/water so-
lution, continued pumping resulted in a decreasing flowrate due
to the separation of the two phases.   Results are given in
Table 6.  These results were used to  obtain the regression curves
shown in Figure 8.

     5.  Both models were operated with materials of widely
varying vapor pressures.  Trial  times were obtained by priming
the hoses and pump, then circulating  the material between 208 £
,(55 gal) drums.  Vapor pressure values were taken from the lit-
erature.  Results are given  in Table  7.  No attempt was made to
determine synergistic effects of various material properties on
these results.   Regression lines based on these date are pre-
sented in Figure 9.

                       POLYURETHANE DIKING


In some spill  incidents  it  may  be  necessary to first dike the
spilled or spilling  material  before effective  transfer of a
collection bag can  be  initiated.   Foamed  polyurethane can be
used to rapidly form such  a barrier.   The initial  development
(Control  of Hazardous  Chemical  Spills  by  Physical  Barriers,
EPA Contract 68-01-0100)  of polyurethane  systems  for diking
of hazardous chemical  spills  was  basically successful.  A
portable  backpack system  was  evolved  which delivered a light-
weight rigid foam which  was inert  to  most materials.  Its one
impediment was the  inability  to obtain good adhesion on wet
surfaces.   The improvement  of wet  adhesion was one objective of
this program.

In another EPA program (High  Expansion Foam as a  Method of In-
erting Abandoned Coal  Mine  Areas,  EPA  Contract 68-01-0716) the
problem of adhesion  to wet  and  dusty  surfaces  also was a problem,
Ongoing efforts by  MSAR  had shown  that adhesion to wet surfaces
in underground coal  mines  could be improved by incorporating a
time delay in  the discharge of  the foam.   In the  generation of
polyurethane foam a  tacky  stage develops  between  the time the
two components are  mixed  and  the  onset of foaming.  In com-
mercial urethane packages  the cream time, that time between
mixing and blowing,  is extremely  short and the tacky stage is
almost imperceptible.   The  unit developed for  diking has a long
cream time to  give  sufficient time in  the liquid  stage for the
material  to penetrate  into  vegetation, gravel, etc.  Thus it
has a measurable tacky stage.  If  application  to  a surface were
held up until  the tack developed,  adhesion could  be obtained on
wet surfaces.

In this program this technique  was evaluated further to deter-
mine if it was beneficial  on  other than coal surfaces.  By
incorporating  a tube on  the discharge  nozzle the  urethane was
held up until  a tack developed.  Using small concrete discs
adhesion  was measured  qualitatively.   Adhesion could be de-
veloped on wet concrete  surfaces  but  the  degree was a function
of wetness.  On damp surfaces adhesion was almost as good as on
dry surfaces.   With  water  puddled  on  the  concrete adhesion was
still  poor even using  the  time  delay.   Where water could not
collect,  such  as in  vegetation, bare  ground, and  so forth, the
delay technique was  effective.

                         DEMONSTRATIONS


Upon completion of component assembly,  the  first  model  was field
tested to verify its  performance  characteristics.   The  site
selected for testing  was  a  pond which  serves  as  a  chemical dis-
posal facility located on the MSA Evans  City  plant property.  The
pond contains about 200,000 a (50,000  gal)  of water with a pH
of about 9.   It was planned to set the  unit up at  the edge of
the pond and go through all of the procedures involved  in normal
operations to demonstrate operability  and to  note  any problem
areas not anticipated previously.

The collection system was moved by means of fork  lift vehicle to
a point adjacent to the pond.  In the  initial test the  bag and
housing were removed  from the system and not  used.  The 15 m
(50 ft) length of stainless steel/Teflon hose was  unreeled and
its nozzle dropped into the pond.   The  pump was  started and water
was pumped from the pond, through the  system, and  back  to the
pond.  In this series of  tests the pump  was located about 2.5 m
(7.5 ft) higher in elevation than the  surface of  the pond water.
Pumping time required for initial  flow  from the  system  exit port
was about six mintues.  Flow rate was  163 &/min  (43 gpm).

At the conclusion of  the  initial  test  the batteries were re-
charged at 27.3 volts.  Charge current  was  maintained at 1.0 amp.
The bag and  housing were  then reinstalled on  the  pallet for a
field demonstration of the  system.  The  bag was  removed from its
housing, deployed and the pump started.   Within  six minutes the
header segment of the bag began to fill.  Pumping  was stopped
after 35 minutes with approximately 5,-700  &  (1500 gal) in the
bag segments.  About  40%  of this  total  was  in the  header segment.
The bag was  then emptied  to the pond,  cleaned, dried, evacuated
and refolded.  Batteries  were again recharged.

The final demonstration of  the series  was similar  to the previous
one but involved two  hours  of pumping  time.  No  measurement was
made of the  volume pumped,  but the bag  system was  about three
quarters full.  Some  water  inadvertantly leaked  from the header
segment due  to a loose fitting screw clamp  on the  drain port.
This leakage went unnoticed for at least 30 minutes.  The demon-
stration was witnessed by EPA personnel  and recorded on film.
                               38

-------
In a full-scale demonstration the second model  collection system
was mounted on the bed of a 3/4 ton pickup truck.   A 26,500 I
(7000 gal) capacity tank of the type used in road  tanker trucks
was filled with water to which an innocuous red dye had been
added.  In the demonstration run, a tanker leak was simulated
by actuating a motor operated ball valve located on the under-
side of the tanker.  Urethane foam dikes were then established
nearby to collect the spilled material and to divert portions
of the spill into the primary dike.  The pickup truck bearing
the collection system was then driven to a point adjacent to
the diked area.  Hoses were deployed to the dike and to the
tanker.  The bag was then removed from its housing and unfolded
on the ground behind the truck.  The engine was then started
and the spilled material pumped from the dike area trench to
the bags via one of the 15 m (50 ft) hoses.  The second 15 m
(50 ft) hose was connected to a fitting located at one end of
the tanker.  When the tanker leak subsided, the 3-way valve in
the system was rotated to admit liquid from the tanker to the
pump which in turn continued to transfer it into the bags.  The
hoses were then reconnected and liquid was pumped  from the bags
back into the tanker.  Events of the demonstration were recorded
on film and witnessed by EPA personnel.  An overview of the
demonstration area is presented in Figure 10.

APPENDIX A.  OPERATING MANUAL FOR BATTERY-POWERED MODEL

Introduction

The MSA Emergency Collection System for Hazardous Spills is a
portable device to be used in transferring contained spilled
fluids into a holding bag that is part of the system.

The purpose of this manual is (1) to provide detailed  instruc-
tions for operating the battery-powered emergency collection
system for spilled hazardous materials and (2)  to present in-
formation required for the proper servicing and maintenance of
the equipment.  A parts list is included.

General Description

The purpose of the Emergency Collection System  is to pump
spilled hazardous fluids into a connected group of large bags
for temporary storage.  The system consists, essentially, of
a battery-powered pumping unit and 30 m (100 ft) of suction
hose in addition to the folded collection bags  and their housing
It is mounted on a 1.22 m x 1.22 m (4 ft x 4 ft) reinforced
plastic pallet.  The bags can contained up to 26,500 £ (7000 gal
of spilled fluid.  The batteries provide 2 to 2 1/2 hours of
pumping time without recharging which in most cases should be
sufficient time to fill the bags.  Additional pumping  time may
be obtained by substituting a battery eliminator.  A change in
battery interconnection provides accelerated pumping rates.

A photograph and a layout diagram of the system are presented
in Figures A-l and A-2.

System Operation

Placing the System at the Spill Site--
     Upon arrival at the site of the spill the  most feasible lo-
cation should be selected for placement of the  system and de-
ployment of the bag assembly.

     Elevation relative to spill--The efficiency of the pump is
determined primarily by the vertical distance between the mouth
of the suction hose and the pump inlet port  (head).  The system
                               41

should be placed as  close  as  possible to or even below the
elevation of the spill  to  be  drained.  Performance curves show-
ing pumping rates as a  function of head distance are presented
in Figure A-3.

     Space allowance for bag  assemb!y--Sufficient space must be
allowed to open the  bag assembly once it is removed from its
housing.   The opened bag assembly requires an area measuring
8 m by 6  m (25  x 20  ft).  Flat areas  are. preferred but sloping
areas are acceptable.   A 30°  incline  is maximum, however.  On
steeper slopes  the bag  may slide as  it fills.  Consideration
should be given to the  relative location of the exit ports on
each of the four bags  to facilitate  later transfer of material
out of the bags.  The  bags should not be placed upside down
since this will put  both the  pressure relief vents and carrying
straps beneath  the bag  assembly.  The bag assembly folding
arrangement is  shown in Figure A-4.

     Grounding  the system — Where static electricity generation
may be a  hazard, as  with low  conductivity fluids, cable should
be used to ground the  pump chassis.   When pumping from a tanker,
the pump  should also be connected by  cable to the tanker. Wire
size should be  AWG 10  or larger.  Selected grounding techniques
are shown in Figure  A-5.

Deploying the Suction  Hoses--
     Two  lengths of  suction hose are  mounted on the hose reel:

         1.  A  15.25 m  (50 ft) length of 5 cm diameter
             (2 in.) conductive Teflon hose with a
             braided stainless steel  jacket.

         2.  A  15.25 m  (50 ft) length of 5 cm diameter
             (2. in.) acid-chemical  transfer hose with        ,;
             a  neoprene jacket.

The neoprene jacketed  hose is simply  stored on the reel and may
be completely removed  from the system.  One end of the stainless
braid hose is attached  to  the riser  connection of the reel by
means of  a threaded  end fitting.
Five types
follows:
  of hose fittings are supplied with the system as


1.   A standard 5 cm (2 in.) quick coupling adapter,

2.   A standard 5 cm (2 in.) coupler.

3.   A standard 10 cm (4 in.) coupler with reducer
    to 5 cm (2 in.) pi pe.

4.   A cylindrical type strainer.

             5.   A beveled (45°) pipe nipple.

Select the desired fitting(s) and mount on the end(s) of the
hose(s).   The unattached hose may be connected to the system
via the quick-coupling adapter located atop the  selector valve
adjacent to the reel.  If only one section of hose is required,
use the stainless braid hose and leave the neoprene hose coiled
on its portion of the hose reel.

Release reel crank lock and unreel  hose or hoses  and place in
spill and/or connect to tanker as dictated by the particular
situation.   Avoid hose stresses which may result  in crimping
or restriction of flow through a hose.  Then set  red handle
of flow selector valve in desired position.  With handle turned
down pumping will occur through the hose reel  swivel joint, i.e.,
from the stainless braid suction hose.  If up, pumping action is
via the port adjacent to the hose reel.

Deploying Bag Assembly and Starting Pump--
     Open the cover the bag housing by depressing latching rod
through the small round hole located at upper front of cover.
Spring loaded pins will cause the cover to drop  away from the
system.  Allow cover to drop.  Then gently nudge  folded bag
from its housing so that it too drops to the ground.  Unfold
the header bag and arrange on ground near system.  Be sure that
the end of the 3 m (10 ft), 3.8 cm (1.5 in.) diameter stainless
braided hose is attached to the bag inlet port and is within
reach of the double shut off quick disconnects located at the
lower rear of the bag housing.

Unfold and position the remaining three collection bags.  Check
to be certain all four bag exit port valves are  closed.  Check
inlet hose and inlet port sleeving for possible  twists or con-
strictions .

Plug bag inlet into one of the double shut off quick disconnects.
Remove cap from pump chamber and prime by filling with water or
other fluid compatible with the mateial to be pumped.  Then
start pump.  It is important that all of the above steps be taken
before starting the pump.  Pump starter is located at the ex-
plosion-proof box located on the pallet next to  the hose reel.
To start, turn selector know on starter to "RUN"  and then de-
press the "START" button (located just below the  selector switch)
momentarily until the pump motor starts.  Note:   When pumping
from two points, simultaneously or alternately,  pumping of the
lower elevation site should be started first.

Filling the Bag--
     The bag will fill unattended, however, certain checks during
this period may prove helpful, such as:
                               48

-------
         1.  See that no large stresses develop in the bag
             material or its strap-anchors due to terrain
             features.  A large rock or board support may
             relieve such a stress point.

         2.  Check closures on exit ports to insure against
             1eaks.

         3.  Pay attention to the low voltage alarm.   If
             battery voltage drops to a dangerously low
             level the high pitched audible alarm and
             flashing red light will be actuated.   If the
             batteries are fully charged at the start of
             the run, the voltage should be maintained at
             acceptable levels for at least two hours.
             An exception to this might be the pumping of
             a rather viscous or lumpy material.

Accelerated Pumping--
     By changing the battery harness wires as shown in Figure
A-6 the speed of rotation of the pump shaft may be increased
from '^2250 rpm to ^2900 rpm.  This is accomplished by rearranging
the batteries to provide 36 volts instead of 24 volts. IMPORTANT:
The harness must be changed back to 24-volt operation before re-
charging the batteries.

Adding a Second Bag Assembly--
     If a second bag assembly is required, its inlet  hose may be
connected to the second quick disconnect which is  manifolded to-
gether with the first in the area just behind the  bag housing.
Do NOT disconnect first bag assembly without having a second
bag connected unless pump motor is first stopped.

Auxiliary Pump Motoi—
     The pump motor may be operated directly from a battery
charger/eleminator by removing the battery plug from  the junction
box located behind the batery pack housing and substituting the
output plug from an eliminator.  The eliminator used  must be
capable of providing 35 amperes at 24 volts DC.

Clean-up After Run--
     After system has been used to transfer a fluid to the col-
lecting bags it should be flushed with water and/or solvent to
remove traces of possibly-contaminating materials.

Recharging the Batteries--
     Before attempting battery recharging be sure control panel
selector switch is in the OFF position.  Then plug float charger
into the box housing the low voltage alarm.  Adjust the voltage
output to 27.3 volts.  Turn selector switch to CHARGE. Readjust
voltage output to 27.3 volts and adjust current limiting po-
tnetiometer to about two amperes.  Charging will  continue until

current drops to zero.  Charger may remain connected to the
batteries to maintain a high level of charge.  If charger is re-
moved after charging is complete, the battery voltage level will
hold for at least 90 days.  When disconnecting the charger from
the system first turn selector switch to OFF before shutting off
charger power in order to avoid blowing a protective fuse in the
starter/control box.

Trouble Shooting

Improper operation of the Emergency Collection System can occur
due to several causes.  The following instructions will be help-
ful in tracing the cause of a failure or improper system opera-
tion.  Possible difficulties are listed in the sequence which
they might be encountered in the course of operating the system.

         A.  Hose reel jammed:

             	 check crank locking wheel located
                 at side of reel mount
             	 check for binding of hose(s) against
                 a part of the system

         B.  Bag housing door will not open:

             	 probably due to twisting of the bag
                 housing.  Use screw driver or similar
                 object to pry out top of door.

         C.  Pump will not start:

             	 check battery connections and voltage

             	 check for foreign objects in shaft
                 and coupling area
             	 open motor starter control box and
                 check fuses and overload heaters
                 (see wiring diagram, Figure A-7)

             	 check for possible locked rotor by
                 removing coupling guard and turning
                 shaft by hand.

         D.  No charging current:

             	 check fuses in starter control box.
                 Selector switch must be in OFF position
                 until input power is applied to the
                 charging unit.

Maintenance

No general  maintenance should be required other than  to clean
the hoses and pump lines after use and keep the batteries
charged as  discussed earlier.  A repair kit for the bag is  in-
cluded with the system which contains various types of hose
sealers.  Maintenance on specific system components should  be
performed as directed by the supplier, or by returning the  unit
to the vendor for servicing.

A parts list that includes all components and major units  is
provided in Table A-l.  Specific manuals to be consulted are
reproduced  in the following catalog sheets.

                              WARRANTY

          All  CALEX products are  warranted  during a period of one year
          from date  of shipment to be free from defects in material and
          workmanship. Liability is limited to repair or replacement.
                            REPAIR POLICY

          Because the VOLTSENSOR Battery Monitor is completely encapsu-
          lated In epoxy, it is not considered to be repairable. If a unit appears
          to be malfunctioning, check all  external connections carefully. If
          the malfunction still appears to be in the VOLTSENSOR. it should
          be returned to the  factory for  analysis of failure.  If the unit is
          determined to be in warranty, it will be replaced. If not, notification
          will be sent along with a "trade-in" value of the damaged unit.

                                      POWER SUPPLY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 1.0  GENERAL

     All.fcwer/Mafe power supplies are carefully Inspected and tested  to Insure conformance to our published
 specifications as stated In the catalog.  However, to Insure satisfactory performance and long life,  It is
 important to operate and maintain the power supply properly in accordance with these Instructions.

•2.0  POWER SUPPLY MOUNTING

     All Power/Mate supplies are designed for convention cooling.  However, It is Important not to impede the
 air  flow across and through the power supply case.  Heat Is the primary cause of failure In any piece of elect-
 ronic  equipment.  Impeding the flow of convection air through your power supply may result In a shortening of
 the  long-life designed into by Power/Mate.
     Conversely, forced air, from a small fan, through the heat generating components      of the  power supply,
 can  overcome any impedimentof the natural convention air flow.   If there Is any doubt as to the amount  of con-
 vection air flow through your Power/Mate power supply, the use of a small fan to insure a satisfactory  air flow
 Is recommended.
     When chassis mounting any Power/Mate power supply using the bottom mounting holes, make sure  that  the vent-
 ilation holes in the power supply chassis are not covered by the mounting chassis.   The mounting chassis should
 have cut-outs approximating the ventlllatlng holes in the power supply.  This permits the normal air  convection
 throught the power supply.
     An alternative method to permit proper air convection current Is  to provide a  1/2 inch space  (minimum) bet-
 ween the power supply and the mounting chassis.
     Detailed mounting and outline dimensions for most Power/Mate power supplies are given in the  general Power
 Mate power supply catalog.

 3.0  OUTPUT VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENTS

     The output of most Power/Mate power supplies can be adjusted simply by monitoring the output voltage on a
 meter  placed across the output terminals or by means of the front panel meter (where applicable.)
     Many power supplies have both a coarse and fine voltage control to more accurately set the output  voltage.

 3.1  UNI SERIES POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT

     All UNI Series (universal series) power supplies as shipped from  the factory are set for a nominal  5 volts
 output.  These power supplies may be set for any output from zero to 30 volts by the following procedure:
     1.  Remove the cover on case size A, B, and BB.   Remove the rear panel on case size C through  H.
     2.  Select the proper tap for the desired output voltage range.  The voltage range for each tap  is
         indicated on the transformer.
     3.  Set coarse and fine voltage controls (accessible from terminal block side  of power supply) to
         nominal center position.
     4,  Make sure + (pos.) terminal and + sense terminal are connected together.  Similarly,  make  sure
         - (neg.) terminal and - sense term are connected together.
     5.  Connect 115 volt to AC input terminals.
     6.  Connect an accurate meter to DC output terminals of power supply.
     7.  Adjust the coarse voltage control to the desired output voltage.•
     8.  Turn off the AC, replace the cover or rear  panel.   The  fine voltage control may be used to more
         accurately adjust the output voltage to the precise desired value.

                                                ***CAUTION***

 THE  POWER'SUPPLY MAY BE DAMAGED IF THE COARSE CONTROL IS SET TO  OPERATE THE POWER SUPPLY OUTSIDE OF THE  VOLTAGE
 RANGE LIMITS NOTED ON THE TRANSFORMER TAP RANGE SETTING INSIDE OF THE POWER SUPPLY.

 4.0  LOCAL-REMOTE LOAD SENSING

     Many power supplies have the remote local load  sensing feature.  This  feature  is available on  power supplies
with +sense and -sense terminals marked on the terminal block.   Power supplies shipped from the factory are nor-
mally connected for local sensing.   Connections for  remote or local load sensing is shown in Fig. 1.



Reprinted  from  operating  instruction  for  regulated  power  supply,  Power/Mate

Corporation.
                                                      59

-------
 5.0  OUTPUT CURRENT ADJUSTMENT

     On power supplies with an output current limit  cont.rol,  this may be adjusted as follows:

     Connect an ammeter across the output terminals  tf the  power supply.  Use an ammeter with a ranye  greater  than
 the desired current limit setting.  Remove all other loads from the power supply.  Apply AC to the  input of the
 power supply and adjust the current limit control  to the desired current as indicated on the ammeter.  This ad-
 justment limits the output current from the power  supply under all load conditions. •

                                               ***CAUTION***

 Make sure that this current setting is within the  ratings of the power supply otherwise overheating and possible
 damage may occur to your power supply.  Make certain that  the power supply output voltage is set  to the normal
 output voltage under normal or open circuit load conditions, before adjusting the current setting.  Make sure
 the current setting is set beyond the "knee" of the  current setting, otherwise the voltage regulation of the power
 supply may be affected.

 On power supplies with front panel meters,  it is only necessary to short circuit the output of the power supply.
 The current adjust  may be set to the desired current limit as indicated on the front panel meter.

 6.0  OVERVOLTACE ADJUSTMENT

     Many Power/Mate power supplies have overvoltage protection built-in to the power supply.   This unit is also
 available as a separate unit.
     The adjustment and checking of the overvoltage  feature can be accomplished as follows:

     Set the overvoltage adjustment to the  highest voltage setting.  Set the power supply output voltage to the
 desired overvoltage set point and monitor the output on a voltmeter.  Typically, the overvoltage set point is at
 least 15% plus one  volt above  the normal output voltage of the power supply.   This prevents  spurious triggering
of the OVP from external transients.   Turn  the  overvoltage control slowly until the output voltage of the power
 supply drops from the set point to approximately 0.6 volts.  Turn off power for 15 seconds and  readjust power
 supply voltage controls to normal setting.   Re-apply power and readjust output voltage'to normal output voltage.



     In the event that the power supply cannot be  adjusted to the desired overvoltage set point,  an externally
 adjustable power supply connected across the output  terminals of the power supply may be used.
     Under certain  conditions, the AC input current  can become large when the overvoltage protector operates.
 It is recommended the following fuse rating be used  in the AC input lead to the power supply.

                 Input fuse rating, Slo-blo type=      Output voltage x output current x 4
                                 °'          lv              Nominal line voltage

APPENDIX B.  OPERATING MANUAL FOR GASOLINE-POWERED MODEL


Introduction

The MSA Emergency Collection System for Hazardous Spills is a
portable device to be used in transferring contained spilled
fluids into a holding bag which is part of the system.

The purpose of this manual is (1) to provide detailed instruc-
tions for operating the gasoline-powered emergency collection
system for spilled hazardous materials and (2) to present infor-
mation required for the proper servicing and maintenance of the
equipment.  A parts list is included.

General Description

The purpose of the Emergency Collection System is to pump
spilled hazardous fluids into a connected group of large bags
for temporary storage.  The system consists,  essentially, of
a gasoline engine-powered pumping unit and 30 m (100 ft) of
suction hose in addition to the folded collection bags and
their housing.  It is mounted on a 1.22 m x 1.67 m (4 ft x 5.5
ft) reinforced aluminum pallet.   The bags can contain up to
26,500 I (7000 gal) of spilled fluid.   A single tankful  of fuel
will provide up to two hours of pumping time  which in most cases
should be sufficient time to nearly fill  the  bags.  Additional
pumping time may be obtained by refilling the fuel tank  from
the explosion-proof reserve tank.

A photograph and a layout diagram of the system are presented
in Figures B-l and B-2.

System Operation

Placing the System at the Spill  Site--
     Upon arrival at the site of the spill the most feasible lo-
cation should be selected for placement of the system and deploy-
ment of the bag assembly.

     Elevation relative to spill—The  efficiency of the  pump is
determined primarily by the vertical  distance between the mouth
of the suction hose and the pump inlet port (head).  The system
should be placed as close as possible  to or even below the ele-
vation of the spill  to be drained.  Performance curve showing
pumping rates as a function of head distance  is presented in
Figure B-3.

     Space allowance for bag assembly--Sufficient space  must be
allowed to open the bag assembly once  it is removed from its
housing.  The opened bag assembly requires an  area measuring 8 m
                                67

 by 6  m (25  ft  x  20  ft).   Flat areas are preferred but sloping
 areas are acceptable.  A  30° incline is maximum, however.  On
 steeper slopes the  bag may slide as it fills.  Consideration
 should be given  to  the relative location of the exit ports on
 each  of the  four bags to  facilitate later transfer of material
 out of the  bags.  The bags should not be placed upside down since
 this  will put  both  the pressure relief vents and carrying straps
 beneath the  bag  assembly.  The bag assembly folding arrangement
 is shown in  Figure  B-4.

      Grounding the  system—Where static electricity generation
 may be a hazard,  as with  low-conductivity fluids, cable should
 be used to  ground the pump chassis.  When pumping from a tanker,
 the pump should  also be connected by cable to the tanker.  Wire
 size  should  be AWG  10 or  larger.  Selected grounding techniques
 are shown in Figure B-5.

      Deploying the  suction hoses--Two 15.25 m (50 ft) lengths
 of 5  cm (2  inT)  diameter, neoprene jacketed, acid-chemical
 transfer hoses are  available aboard the collection system. The
 hose  on the  reel  directly behind the bag storage housing may be
 completely  removed  from its reel whereas the other hose is
 attached to  the  rise connection of its reel by means of a
 threaded end-fitting.  Five types of hose fittings are supplied
 with  the system  as  follows:

          1.  A  standard  5 cm (2 in.)  thick coupling
              adapter.

          2.  A  standard  5 cm (2 in.)  coupler.

          3.  A  standard  10 cm (4 in.) coupler with
              reducer to  5 cm (2 in.)  pipe.

          4.  A  cylindrical type strainer.

          5.  A  beveled (45°) pipe nipple.

Select  the  desired fitting(s) and mount of the end(s) of the
hose(s).  The unattached  hose may be connected to the system
via the quick-coupling  adapter located on the selector valve
body adjacent to the reel.  If only one section of hose is
required, leave the unattached hose coiled on its portion of
the hose reel.

Release reel crank lock and unreel  hose or hoses and place in
spill  and/or connect to tanker as dictated by the particular
situation.   Avoid hose  stresses  which  may result in crimping
or restriction  of flow  through a hose.   Then set handle of flow
selector valve  in desired position.   With handle turned u_£
pumping will occur through the hose reel  swivel  joint, i.e.,
from the attached suction hose.   If down, pumping action is via

the port adjacent to the hose reel.   If the handle is in a hori-
zontal position pointing toward the  pump side of the unit, pump-
ing will occur from both ports(both hoses) simultaneously.

     Deploying bag assembly and starting pump--0pen the cover of
the bag housing by pulling the tabs  on  the spring-loaded bolts,
located at upper front of cover,  inward toward each other. Spring
loaded pins will cause the cover  to  drop away from the system.
Allow cover to drop.  Then gently nudge folded bag from its
housing so that it too drops to the  ground.  Unfold the header
bag and arrange on ground near system.   Be sure that the end of
the 3 m (10 ft), 3.8 cm (1.5 in.) diameter SS braided hose is
attached to the bag inlet port and is  within reach of the double
shut off quick disconnects located at  the lower rear of the  bag
housing.

Unfold and position the remaining three collection bags.  Check
to be certain all  of the-bag exit port  valves are closed. Check
inlet hose and inlet port connection for possible twists or  con-
structions .

Plug bag inlet hose into one of the  double shut off quick dis-
connects.   Remove cap from pump chamber and prime by filling with
water or other fluid compatible with the material to be pumped.
Then start pump.  It is important that  all  of the above steps be
taken before starting the pump.  Pump  starter pull cord is lo-
cated at the top of the pump motor frame.  Choke adjustment may
require repositioning before pump starts.   Choke is located  at
side of engine housing nearest the bag  housing.  Note:  When
pumping from two points, simultaneously or alternately, pumping
of the lower elevation site should be  started first.

     Filling the bag — The bag will  continue to fill unattended,
however, certain checks during this  period may prove helpful,
such as:

          1.   See  that no large stresses develop in the
              bag  material or its strap-anchors due to
              terrain features.  A large rock or board
              support may relieve such  a stress point.

          2.   Check closures on exit ports to insure
              against leaks.

     Adding a second bag assembly—If  a second bag assembly  is
required,  its inlet hose may be connected to the second quick
disconnect which is manifolded together with the first in the
area just  behind the bag housing.  Do  NOT disconnect first bag
assembly without having a second  bag connected unless pump motor
is first stopped.
                               74

-------
     Extended pumpin^--The pump may be operated for longer time
periods by transferring fuel from the explosion-proof can lo-
cated next to the bag housing, adjacent to the pump.

     Back-transfer from the bags — Each of the four bags in the
system is equipped with two threaded ports to facilitate transfer
of fluid from the bags (via the pump or gravity flow) to a perma-
nent holding tank.  Internal noncollapsing tubes which extend
into the bag are attached to each port to prevent adjacent bag
material from plugging the port.

NOTE:  Sections of flexible hose should be connected  to one port
of each bag before filling operations begin to facilitate later
back-transfer.  These hose sections should terminate  in a valve
or other shut-off device.  However, open-ended sections may be
employed if the ends are pinched shut or maintained at an ele-
vation higher than that of the liquid in the filling  bag.

     Clean-up after run—After system has been used to transfer
a fluid to the collecting bags it should be flushed with water
and/or solvent to remove traces of possibly-contaminant materials,

Trouble Shooting

Improper operation of the Emergency Collection System can occur
due to several causes.  The following instructions will be help-
ful in tracing the cause of a failure or improper system ope-
ration.  Possible difficulties are listed in the sequence which
they might be encountered in the course of operating  the system.

          A.  Hose reel jammed:

              	 check crank locking wheel located
                  at side of reel mount

              	 check for binding of hose(s) against
                  a part of the system

          B.  Bag housing door will not open:

              	 probably due to twisting of the bag
                  housing.  Use screw driver or similar
                  object to pry out top of door.

          C.  Pump will not start:

              	 reset choke, try again

              	 check spark piug
                                75

-------
          D.   Starter rope jammed:

              	 check for binding in rope recoil  reel

              	 possible foreign  object(s)  in  pump

          E.   Starter rope will  not rewind:

              	 check spring  in  recoil  reel

Maintenance

No general  maintenance should be required other  than to  clean
the hoses and pump lines  after  use.  A repair  kit for the bag
is included with  the  system which  contains  various  types of
hose sealers.  Maintenance on specific system  components should
be performed  as directed  by the  supplier, or  by  returning the
unit to the vendor for servicing.

A parts list  which includes all  components  and major units is
provided in Table B-l.  Specific manual  to  be  consulted  are re-
produced in the following catalog  sheets.

 A prepackaged pumping  and storage system  for  the collection and
 temporary  containment  of hazardous land spills was designed and  two
 models developed.   Each model  includes a  pump,
 deploying  26,500 a  (7000 gal)  capacity plastic
 on a pallet for transporting  by  pickup truck.
 includes  batteries,  electric  motor, and starter, while  the improved
 second model  carries  a gasoline-powered pump  engine and  fuel. Nominal
 pumping  rates are 200  and 300  £pm (50 and  80  gpm).  Commercially
 available  components  were specified.   The  effect of pump speed,
 fluid viscosity, and  vapor pressure on flowrate were  determined.
 Polyurethane  diking  possibilities were also  investigated.   System
 demonstrations are  described.
