Welcome : Service : User Manual : Installation of your Kleen Tank™

1.) Select a suitable location to mount your Owens KLEEN TANK™. Keep the following in mind:

• Choose a deck location with adequate structural strength to support the full operating weight of your particular model. Refer to the table below for both empty and full weights. This weight is uniformly distributed over a 4" channel skid, constructed in accordance with applicable codes.
• These units are essentially weatherproof. They may be installed under a shelter, such as a lower deck; or in the open, as on a top deck or on a cantilever over the side. An overhead shelter is always preferred for the convenience and protection of the operator(s) conducting routine maintenance and inspection.
• The unit should be mounted as near level in all four (4) directions as possible. On motor vessels it is recommended that the unit be installed with the long axis fore and aft.
• It is generally preferred to locate the unit at the lowest available level to enable gravity feed into the unit and gravity discharge overboard of the treated effluent. This eliminates the need for lift stations and discharge pumps.
• The lifting eyes installed on the unit are designed to lift the empty weight of the unit from a single point traveling block with four (4) hook slings. Spreader bars are not required.
• The unit should be installed in a location that will be adequately ventilated and has space around and above the unit to allow for maintenance and inspection. For installation on an Inspected Vessel, the Owens KLEEN TANK™ MUST HAVE ROOM for inspectors to check the unit label and operation.
• The unit must be securely anchored to the vessel, by means of screws and anchor clips and into solid material. The unit(s) can be skid mounted, in the same manner, if so desired.
• If installed in a location where freezing is a possibility, it should be equipped with an approved heater. It should not be located where the internal temperature will remain above 1200 F for prolonged periods. At 900 F, the microbial metabolism is about maximum. Even between 600 and 1050 F, their activity is still very high.

Weights are in pounds (lbs).

2.) Once the unit is mounted, connect the following four (4) tie in connections (refer to Figure 1 of your paper manual):
a.) Connect raw wastewater line to inlet.
b.) Connect treated effluent discharge.
c.) Vent. DO NOT VENT SEWAGE UNIT IN ANY CONFINED SPACE!
d.) Connect electrical power.

3.) The inlet connection is a 3" FNPT. Connect to the inlet connection the customer-provided wastewater piping.

4.) The outlet connection is a 1" FNPT. Connect the effluent discharge line to the discharge pump valve.

5.) The vent connection is a 3" FNPT. Applicable codes and regulations, such as MMS, USCG, etc, should be consulted relative to vent piping. Avoid unnecessary valves, reducers, ells, etc, in the vent line. Keep the following in mind during vent installation:

• Vent lines should exit the system vertically, if possible. This configuration will eliminate the possibility of a slug of liquid getting trapped in a horizontal vent.
• Vent lines should be located no more than five (5) feet above the treatment system. Vents may not have sags or loops where water can accumulate and clog the vent lines.
• Position your vent lines with care. Although a properly operating, well maintained KLEEN TANK™ will not smell bad, it would be wise to locate your vent lines away from sleeping areas, kitchen areas, and high use areas.
• Vent lines must remain free and clear for their entire length. Check valves or "filters" must not be used. Condensation will accumulate in vent line filters, causing blockage, and possible malfunction of your Owens KLEEN TANK™.
• Proper venting of your Owens KLEEN TANK™ is extremely important. Restricted or inadequate venting can cause bubbling of the water in your toilets and may drain the water from the toilet bowl.

6.) Connect power source – Standard electrical power is 115/208-230 volt, 1Ø, 60 Hz. Verify switch positions on Control Panel are in AUTOMATIC.

7.) The most important item of your system is the air supply. The sewage treatment system must have a continuous air supply to operate effectively. The blower must be free of obstructions and have an ample supply of free air. Make sure to use the supplied blower with your new Owens KLEEN TANK™. This system must have a continuous air supply to operate properly.

8.) Now that the unit is on its foundation, with inlet, vent and discharge connections being made, this unit must be filled with FRESH WATER PRIOR TO INTRODUCING SEWAGE! Place a fresh water hose in the opening on top, filling the tank until water begins to discharge from the 1" discharge connection on the Chlorine Contact Chamber.

9.) The unit is now installed.

You may now proceed to the Start-Up Procedure.
