Plant Design Considerations For Using DF-2000TM Fluid

DF-2000 Fluid is within the NFPA 32 Class III A solvent classification. This classification is based on the flash point of the solvent being within the range of 140°F and 200°F. Because of this classification, the drycleaning plant using DF-2000 Fluid is governed by NFPA 32 guidelines for Class III A plants.

Applicable local building codes should be consulted for specific requirements but ultimate decisions must be approved by the local “Authority Having Jurisdiction&rdquo.

Replacement of Stoddard Solvent by DF-2000 Fluid in Hydrocarbon Drycleaning Machines

By following these simple procedures, you will gain immediate benefits including very low aromatic content and a high flash point:

Step 1 - Cleaning System

  • Drain all of the old solvent from the entire system, including the storage tanks and all piping.
  • Remove old solvent filters.
  • Remove sludge from tank bottoms, sides of tank and filter housings.
  • Clean, drain and dry all of the condenser housings and water separators.
  • Dispose of all solvent waste and used filters which may contain solvent in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations.

Step 2 - Flushing System

  • Add a few gallons of DF-2000 Fluid to the storage tank.
  • Pump fresh DF-2000 Fluid around the system to remove remaining sludge and Stoddard solvent.
  • Drain the DF-2000 Fluid used as a rinse.
  • Dispose of all rinse solvent waste in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations.
  • Install new solvent filters.
  • Fill storage tanks with DF-2000 Fluid.

Step 3 - Installing Cleaning Additives

  • Ensure that your additives are compatible with DF-2000 Fluid (contact technical support for a listing of compatible additives).
  • Add proper amount of cleaning additives to appropriate storage tank if using charge process; with load process cleaning additives, precondition appropriate storage tank and filter with cleaning additives.

Step 4 - Starting Up System

  • Start up the drycleaning unit and run one cycle with dry rags to ensure that the system is clean, free of moisture and that cycle programming is adequate.
