Fire and Explosion Prevention
Most of the lubricants, disinfectant liquids and other chemicals solutions are inflammable. Spreading of these inflammable
substances can cause fires. Put away lubricants in appropriate marked containers away from not authorised people. Put away
soaked rags and inflammable materials in protective containers. Don’t smoke in areas used to keep inflammable materials. Do
not expose the ECOmar S STP, especially the dosing systems, to any kind of flames. Wiring must be in perfect condition, all
the electrical wires must be well placed and fixed. Remove all the disconnected and not necessary cables. Arc discharge or
sparks could cause a fire, electrical connections submitted to an appropriate maintenance will help to avoid arc discharge and
sparks formation. Check that the pipes and hoses are not worn and that they have adequate support and secure clamps. Keep
any free flame or sparks away from the ECOmar S STP, especially the dosing system and the U.V. sterilizer. Make sure that
there is always a fire extinguisher nearby, understand the operation of the fire extinguisher, carry out the regular maintenance
and follow the instructions on the label. Do not bend or hit high pressure piping. Do not install damaged piping and verify the
state of piping, do not check for leaks bare hands, use a cardboard or a brush.
If one of these condition is present, replace the component:
♦
Damaged fittings or with leakages;
♦
Damaged or cut external covers;
♦
Cables with no protection;
♦
Swelling of the external protection;
♦
Parts of flexible tubes crushed;
♦
Fittings moved.
Be sure that all the clamps, protections and heat shields are well installed.

Cuttings Prevention
Adequately support components when working under them. Stay away from moving and rotating parts, let the protections
installed until ready to perform the maintenance and reinstall them at the end.

Fluid Recommendations
7.10.1
Hydrogen Peroxide (H
2
O
2
) solution
The hydrogen peroxide solution is essential for the correct functioning of the sewage treatment process inside the treatment
tank. An absence or poor quantity of H
2
O
2
can cause a plant malfunctioning, affecting the efficiency of the sewage treatment
process with consequent outboard discharge of treated water that doesn't meet international standards (IMO-MARPOL
regulation). Check every day the hydrogen peroxide solution inside the tank and refill it if necessary as prescribed in the
Maintenance Instructions
section.
For details of safe use of the Hydrogen Peroxide (H
2
O
2
) solution, refer to its Safety Data Sheet.
7.10.2
ECOFLOC solution
The flocculants solution is essential for the correct functioning of the sewage treatment process inside the treatment tank. An
absence or poor quantity of ECOFLOC can cause a plant malfunctioning, affecting the efficiency of the sewage treatment
process with consequent outboard discharge of treated water that doesn't meet international standards (IMO-MARPOL
regulation). Check every day the ECOFLOC flocculants solution inside the tank and refill it if necessary as prescribed in the
Maintenance Instructions
section.
For details of safe use of the ECOFLOC solution, refer to its Safety Data Sheet.
