System Overview
Control System
The controller provides the operator interface for the system and controls the operation of the
various valves, sensors, and pump. The PLC and VFD are located in the main enclosure with the
main disconnect and the HMI screen. The small side enclosure is for all field connections and only
has 24VDC present.

Installaon
System Conguraons
The conguraon of the TEQUATIC™ PLUS F-150 C-Series skid will depend on the purpose of the
system as well as the scale. The system can be a single skid, or mulple parallel skids for larger
scale. The opmal conguraon will be site-specic, but should include some of the following
aspects:
Parallel Systems: When parallel systems are employed, it is recommended that valving be ulized
on all lines to permit isolaon of any single system for maintenance. Check valves should also be
ulized to prevent one system backfeeding into another system.
Precondioning: Precondioning may be required for process water that falls beyond the scope
of the system. This may include, but is not limited to, prescreening of large parculate material
greater than listed in the specicaons secon above.
Feedwater Supply: The feedwater is best supplied from a holding tank. The feed tank will buer
variaons of inuent ow with me, and if recommended, it also permits the concentrate to be
returned back to the tank for greater ltraon eciency. The feedwater supply to the skid needs
to be pressurized. This is typically accomplished with a pressure-controlled pump. The skid
controller has a pump control dry contact, as well as a feed-tank-low sensor input.
Filtrate Euent: The ltrate euent is the primary treated discharge from the system and should
not have appreciable back pressure. This line contains a system-controlled valve. This is typically
best served with a holding tank to accommodate variaons in ow. A tank-full sensor dry contact
input is available for monitoring the status of the ltrate tank.
Concentrate Purge: The concentrate purge is a system-controlled, pressurized discharge of the
primary ltraon concentrate. The discharge point should be open-air or other sump means for
disposal or further processing.
Service Drain: The service drain is manually controlled and must be non-pressurized and located
entirely below the height of the system. The discharge should be open-air or fully vented, and
capable of receiving (expelling) air pressure during a system bleed operation.

Site Preparaon
Before the physical installaon of the system, it is important
to make sure the installaon area is properly congured for
accessing the system. The alloed space should include the
physical requirements of the equipment plus addional space
for working and maintenance clearance.
At a minimum, the area in front of the control panel should be
le open to permit the operator access for daily operaon.
Addional space may be required for local codes.
Maintenance clearance around the system is more subjecve
and may vary depending on the frequency of maintenance
tasks. When planning the space, consider having extra
clearance near the pump to facilitate removal or servicing.
Unpacking the Skid
Notice: Be careful when working around the
filter housing with tools to avoid damaging the
housing. Also, take care not to disturb the
pressure and speed sensors on the upper filter
housing.
Note: Shipping damage must be noted at the
time of receipt, and claims made to the freight
company.
➢Remove all packing materials from the skid and inspect the system for shipping damage.
➢Inspect all of the plumbing lines and ngs to ensure they are rmly ghtened and
undamaged.
➢Inspect the controller cabinet to ensure that all components are rmly in place and no wires
have loosened.
➢If the system was shipped on a pallet, remove any strapping and lag bolts, and li the system
o the pallet using the liing points shown in the following secon.

Hoisng
Hoisng and transporng the skid must be completed in a manner that maintains stability and
does not cause damage to the components. The primary liing method is intended to be forkli
or pallet jack. Note the following for liing and transporng:
➢When liing from the side, make sure the forks are spread as far as possible for beer stability.
Make sure the forks are long enough to reach under the opposite frame rail.
➢Li under the skid frame. Do not li by any component or plumbing xture.
➢Do not lt the system beyond 10°
➢Liing from the end should not be aempted unless the forks are long enough to reach the
second internal frame member past the center of the skid.
➢For hoisng, use a liing frame to avoid the straps or chains from binding against system
components.
➢Remove any ngs or xtures that could become damaged from the hoist.
➢Li only from the frame of the skid, and do not secure straps or chains to any components or
plumbing xtures.
Placement
The skid should be placed on a level oor surface such that all four corners are even, to prevent
twisng of the frame and reduce stress on any internal plumbing xtures.
Plumbing
Plumbing into the TEQUATIC™ PLUS Filter skid system uses 1, 2, and 2.5 inch class 150 ANSI anges
that will allow the installaon of ngs to adapt into the facility plumbing. The actual plumbing
layout will depend on the complete system design.

Installation & Operation Manual | TEQUATIC™ PLUS | Installation

Electrical
➢The system requires a 3-phase, grounded supply circuit.
➢Make sure the circuit is installed in accordance with all applicable electrical codes.
➢The main disconnect lugs are rated for stranded copper, up to 3/0 maximum conductor size.
All conductors must be rated for 75°C.
Note: The actual enclosure layout may vary slightly depending on system
voltage considerations.
External Controls and Sensors
The following are external controls and sensors for the system that are not included with the skid.
Feedwater Tank
To prevent the system from running dry, the system can incorporate a feedwater tank level switch.
The sensor selecon should be appropriate for the water condions present. The sensor should
supply an “open” or “closed” circuit, dry contact, to indicate the no-run condion. The control
system will send +24VDC to the sensor and look for the same signal to return to indicate a closed
circuit. Logic can be selected in the HMI sengs screen. Refer to “Tank Sengs” on page 18 for all
opons and setpoints for sensor.
Product Tank
To help prevent the tank overow, an output tank from the skid (euent or concentrate) can
incorporate a tank level switch. The sensor selecon should be appropriate for the water
condions present. The sensor should supply a dry contact to indicate the no-run condion. The
control system will send +24VDC to the sensor and look for the same signal to return to indicate a
closed circuit. Logic can be selected in the HMI sengs screen. Refer to “Tank Sengs” on page
18 for all opons and setpoints for sensor.
External Alarm
An external alarm may be connected to the system to alert an operator of a problem with the
system. The alarm may be audible, visual or both. This relay output is a normally-open contact
closure (dry contact).

Feed Pump
The lter skid is designed to operate with a constant feed pressure between 30 and 80 psi that is
maintained as ow changes with minimal pressure variaon. In the case where this type of feed
water is not available a dedicated feed pump should be used. The feed pump should be pressure
controlled using a VFD with a pressure sensor and a closed loop, PID feedback system. The lter
skid will provide a dry contact to control the on/o funcon of the feed pump but the speed
control must be self-contained.
Below are the design consideraons that must be addressed when building a feed pump skid.
➢The pump selecon should be capable of delivering 130% of the desired ltrate ow rate while
maintaining a minimum of 30 psi inside the lter housing.
oPressure drop from the feed pump to the lter skid must be taken into account when sizing
the feed pump.
oIn the case of mulple lters fed by a single feed pump reduce the feed pump ow
requirement by 5% for each addional lter. It is recommended that a maximum of 2
lters be served by a single feed pump. The feed pump ow capacity cannot drop below
110% of the combined ltrate ow rates.
➢The feed pump VFD should have inputs for a remote on/o command. The command will be
given by a dry contact within the lter skid control system; closed = on, open = o.
➢The feed pump VFD should have adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down funcons. The
recommended inial values are Ramp-up = 30 seconds, and Ramp-down = 5 seconds. The
pump should build pressure slowly but, be able to drop pressure quickly if ow stops.
➢The feed pump VFD must have an analog input to reference a pressure sensor and associated
PID funcon to maintain a pressure set point.
oDepending on the VFD and pressure sensor combinaon, the VFD likely needs the ability
to invert and bias the output speed such that the pressure versus speed are inverse
funcons.
oThe proporonal gain should be set high enough to accurately reach the setpoint but set
low enough to prevent oscillaons (hunng) near the set point.
oThe pressure set point must be adjustable for tuning the desired pressure.
➢The feedback pressure sensor should be located as close to the pump outlet as possible to
provide accurate pressure control.
Any feed pump setup must be tested prior to installing a lter. The tesng should include
vericaon the VFD can maintain a setpoint, vericaon the pump speed can adjust as ow
requirements change, and vericaon the VFD can accept the on/o commands from the lter
skid.

appropriate sub-screen.
➢Startup Feed Pressure: This is the minimum pressure that must be reached in the housing for
startup event to connue.
➢Startup Feed Pressure Delay: This is the me allowed for the system to reach the pressure
setpoint. If the mer expires before the pressure is reached startup will be aborted.
➢Startup Speed: This is the minimum cleaning assembly speed that must be reached for the
startup event to connue.
➢Startup Speed Delay: This is the me allowed for the cleaning assembly to reach the minimum
speed requirement. If the mer expires before the RPM is reached startup will be aborted.
➢Startup Time: Once both minimum setpoints are reached the system will dwell for the me
specied. This will allow the system to clean and then purge any contaminates o the screen

Tank Sengs
This screen sets the basic parameters for any installed tank level switch. The switches must be dry
contact (open or closed circuit) type switches. The logic for switch condion to run condion can
be set according to the switch setup.
➢Enable/Disable: Sets whether the tank sensor is available to the system or not and displays
tanks on the layout on the homescreen.
➢Stop Delay: The tank level switch must remain in the “no run condion” for the specied delay
me before the system will take acon from the input. This is intended to eliminate nuisance
shutdowns due to water turbulence.
➢Shutdown Delay: This value sets the me delay between when the product tank is full and
when the system shuts down. This provides an opportunity for the tank to catch up without a
premature shutdown.
➢Automac Restart: Sets whether the system will automacally restart aer the sensor
condion has cleared.
➢Restart Delay: With automac restart enabled and aer a tank switch shutdown, the switch
must remain in the run posion for the delay me before any acon is taken. This is intended
to stagger restart and prevent premature restart.
➢Switch for Run: This opon allows the circuit logic for the switch to be changed. For example,
if Open is selected the switch must provide an open circuit for a run condion.

DP/Pressure Sengs
The DP/Pressure sengs screen lists various parameters related to the lter operaon and
associated alarm thresholds.
➢High DP: This seng determines the dierenal pressure value necessary to trigger a cleaning
cycle. The dierenal pressure represents how much resistance to water ow is through the
lter. A high dierenal pressure indicates the lter is becoming clogged. (See page 22)
➢Max DP Events/Period: This sets the maximum number of High DP events permied per me
period (in minutes) before an alarm is triggered.
➢High Feed Pressure: This seng determines the upper alarm limit for the feed pressure sensor.
➢Low Feed Pressure: This seng determines the lower alarm limit for the feed pressure sensor.
RPM Sengs
➢Low Brush Speed: This seng determines the Cleaning Assembly brush speed (RPM) that
results in a low speed alarm. The Cleaning Assembly brush speed (RPM) represents the rate of
water ow through the lter housing. If the brush speed (RPM) is less than the setpoint, the
system will shut down.
➢Max RPM Events/Period: This sets the maximum number of RPM alarms for a given period,
before the system shuts down.

This screen allows all sengs for the CIP event to be set. This funcon requires an add-on kit that
includes addional valves, plumbing, and wiring. With the components installed the proper
funcon can be ulized.
➢Chem Duraon, Dwell Duraon, Pause Duraon, and Filtrate Bump will adjust the ming of the
acon taken during each Cycle of a CIP event. The valve acon diagram shown below describes
the interacons of these sengs.
➢Schedule: When enabled, this will trigger a CIP event based on the Frequency mer.
➢Cycles: This determines the number of CIP cycles that occur during a single CIP event.
➢Shutdown CIP: Enabling this will trigger a CIP event whenever the system is shut down at the
HMI screen. It is not recommended to be used in conjuncon with a tank level switch and
automac restart.
➢DP Event CIP: This will trigger a CIP event instead of a forward spin in the case of high
dierenal pressure event.
➢Max CIP Events/Period: If the maximum CIP Events per time frame is exceeded the system will
not perform the CIP but will continue running. This is intended to limit chemical usage and
