Information on the system

4 Information on the system


The Ultromat® manufactured by ProMinent is an automatic polye‐
lectrolyte preparation system.
The Ultromat® can be used in any application where synthetic poly‐
mers are to be automatically prepared to form polymer solutions,
e.g. to act as flocculation aids. As a dissolving station, the system
is suitable for a large number of process engineering applications,
e.g. in the water treatment sector, in waste water treatment and
paper manufacture.

4.1 Design
The system is designed for the fully automatic batching of polymer
solutions.
Almost all commercially available polymers can be used. Under the
control of Ultromat® systems, concentrations from 0.05 to 1.0 %
can be set. The viscosity of the polymer solution produced must
not however exceed 1500 mPas. Please refer to the polymer sup‐
pliers' application data sheets for information about the viscosity of
the different polymer solutions.
Adjust the flow rate of the preparation water to make full use of the
preparation range. Concentrations of greater than 0.5 % can
reduce the capacity of the preparation performance.
The maturing time available for the production of a polymer solu‐
tion depends on the extraction rate and the volumetric capacity of
the Ultromat® and is approximately 60 minutes at a maximum
extraction rate. The system capacities extend from max. 400 l
usage solution per hour for the Ultromat® 400 up to 8,000 l for the
Ultromat® 8000.

Construction and Function

5 Construction and Function


5.1 System construction
The system parts for powder storage, powder metering, wetting,
dissolving and maturing of the powder polymers are combined in a
compact unit.
An Ultromat® is assembled using the identity code from the fol‐
lowing functional units:
n Water fitting (1)
n Concentrate pump (2)
n Stirrers (3)
n Flush fitting (4)
n Powder feeder (5)
n Control cabinet (6)
n Three-chamber storage tank (7)
The flush fittings and water piping are available in either PVC or
PP.

A0430

Fig. 4: System construction


The seals are made from EPDM as standard. The stirrer shafts
and propellers of the stirrers plus the liquid end of the powder
feeder are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

5.2 Description of the Units

The units are only available if they have been


selected with the identity code.

20
Construction and Function

5.2.1 Three-chamber storage tank

A0830

Fig. 5: Extraction openings


1. Ball valve chamber 1
2. Ball valve chamber 2
3. Extraction cock for the matured polymer (chamber 3)
The closed design PP storage tank with stirrer traverses, the
brackets for powder feeder and control cabinet, plug overflow,
drainage and extraction connections is divided into three separate
chambers. This ensures sufficient polymer solution maturing time.
The division of the storage tank largely prevents the mixing of
matured and freshly prepared solution and enables continuous
extraction.
All inspection openings of the storage tank are secured with tightly
screwable covers.
The liquid level of chamber 3 is continuously measured using a
pressure sensor.

5.2.2 Crane Lifting Lugs


For easier handling of the system, a suitable hoisting device can
be attached to the four lifting lugs.

5.2.3 Water fitting with flush fitting


The water pipework supplies the system with the required prepara‐
tion water. The pressure reducer with filter insert ensures that the
pressure is limited and maintained at the correct operating pres‐
sure. A solenoid valve automatically opens and closes the water
inlet. The flow meter used, continuously reports the current flow
rate to the control. During commissioning the two regulating valves
are used to set the water flow rate. The flush fitting ensures that
the polymer powder is intensively wetted with preparation water. A
manual shut-off valve also shuts off the supply of water if mainte‐
nance work is necessary.
There are two versions of flush fitting:
n Y-flush inlet
n Wetting cone

21
Construction and Function

With the wetting cone, the flushing process is more complicated,


as described above:
The powdered polymer falls into the wetting cone, where it is uni‐
formly wetted with a partial flow from the preparation water. This
ensures clumping of the feed chemical does not occur.
The main flow of the preparation water produces, by way of a
mixing device, a slight vacuum at the outlet of the cone. Conse‐
quently, the wetted powder is sucked out and then travels with the
preparation water into chamber 1.
The switching on of the powder feeder is controlled to occur at a
time delay after the solenoid valve activation. Consequently at the
start of the preparation process, no powder deposits can occur in
the flush fitting. There is always a water flow for a few seconds
before the powder feeder starts. At the end of the preparation
process, the reverse procedure is followed. The system switches
off immediately once the upper level is reached. However, the
water continues to run for a few seconds after this.

5.2.4 Powder feeder


Please refer to the separate operating instructions entitled "Dry
Feeder" for detailed information about the design and function of
this device.
The heater of the feeder screw pipe and the minimum fill level
sensor for the dry material hopper are fitted as standard to the
Ultromat® treatment systems. The dry feeder is activated by a fre‐
quency converter to ensure quantity-proportional dosing of the
powdered polymer into the preparation water. A loosening wheel is
fitted directly above the feeder screw for the continuous discharge
of the powdered polymer. A metering pipe heating system also
removes any moisture that has penetrated the unit and thus pre‐
vents any caking of the powdered polymer.

5.2.5 Vibrator
The vibrator helps to prevent bridging in the dry material feeder so
that the powdered polymer matures better.

23
Construction and Function

5.2.6 Stirrers

CAUTION!
The stirrers can start up suddenly as soon as they
are connected to mains power.

The Ultromat® is fitted with two electrical stirrers as standard. A


third stirrer for chamber 3 can be selected via the identity code.
The stirrers ensure that the solution is gently agitated in the reser‐
voir chambers.

5.2.7 Control cabinet


The control cabinet contains, alongside the power supply and the
fuses, all the electrical control and command devices necessary for
operation of the system, especially the Ultromat® control and the
frequency converter for control of the powder feeder.

5.2.8 Concentrate piping


The Ultromat® is equipped with the following pipework for dosing of
liquid concentrate:

Ultromat® type Pipe diameter Tube nozzle


400 DN 15 DN 15
1000 DN 15 DN 15
2000 DN 15 DN 15
4000 DN 20 DN 20
6000 DN 20 DN 20
8000 DN 20 DN 20

5.2.9 Evaluation of the lack of water state for the redilution unit
The redilution unit is used to redilute the prepared polymer solu‐
tion. To do this the feed pump transports the polymer solution out
of the Ultromat® storage tank into the redilution unit.
The dilution water is fed into the redilution unit via a solenoid valve.
A downstream float flow meter with a minimum contact monitors
the dilution water.
The Ultromat provides a potential-free contact (feed pump enable)
for control of the feed pump. This contact is closed if the level
undershoots the low flow contact in chamber 3 and opens once the
low flow contact is exceeded again. The feed pump is normally
controlled using an external circuit (combination starter motor).
As the feed pump can be switched on and off externally, there is
an additional input at the Ultromat control for determining the state
of the motor starter (potential-free auxiliary contact). The evalua‐
tion of the min. contact at the flow meter is only carried out if the
feed pump is running and consequently the potential-free auxiliary
contact at the motor starter has been closed.

24
Construction and Function

If the feed pump is stationary, the potential-free contact is not


closed and the min. contact at the flow meter is not evaluated.

5.2.10 Empty signal for concentrate tank


The „Empty signal concentrate tank“ option comprises a float
switch, which is inserted from above in the delivery drum.

5.2.11 Dosing monitor for liquid concentrate


The Ultromat® can be operated with liquid polymer. The concen‐
trate pump doses the concentrate into chamber 1. The dosing
monitor can only be used when an eccentric screw pump is being
used. The dosing monitor comprises a flow adapter and a flow
sensor.

5.2.12 Top hopper 50 l, 75 l and 100 l


Should an enlarged powder reservoir be required, top hoppers with
an additional volumetric capacity of 50, 75 and 100 litres are avail‐
able.

5.2.13 Powder conveyor for Automatic Refilling


A powder conveyor can be used for the automatic filling of the
powder hopper with powdered polymer. A powder conveyor can be
mounted directly onto the dry feeder or top hopper by means of an
adapter plate. The installation of a 50 l top hopper with a con‐
necting adapter is recommended to overcome short periods of
service work on the powder conveyor or when there is a high con‐
sumption of powder.
When selecting a powder conveyor the Ultromat® has a terminal
box fixed to the dry feeder. The terminal box is electrically fused
via a safety cut-out in the control cabinet.

If a liquid concentrate pump is used without an
external fan, the winding of the pump motor must
be protected against overheating at low speeds.
Set the minimum frequency to a value e.g.
10 ... 20%. If the actual frequency of the liquid con‐

The stirrers are only switched on when chambers 1+2 have a suffi‐
ciently high liquid level. Please note that the two stirrers 1+2 have
to be controlled in parallel.
The necessary parameters are set to guarantee the gentle opera‐
tion of the stirrers when the system is tested in the manufacturer’s

The parameters [Concentration of powder/liquid]


can be used to adjust the concentration of the
batched polymer solution set in the Ultromat. The
parameter [Liquid active ingredient] specifies the
content of the active ingredient in the liquid pol‐
ymer.

Liquid active ingredient


The liquid polymers are provided with different
active ingredients. If the active ingredient content
of the powder is 100%, then the active ingredient
fraction of the liquid polymer is generally in a range
below 50% (typically 40%).
In practice it is generally desirable to use the same
concentration settings with the liquid polymer as
for the powder product. Therefore the concentra‐
tion of active ingredient in the liquid polymer (typi‐
cally 40%) is entered in the control.

The sensor has a yellow LED at its cable end to indicate the
switching state and also a sunken adjustment screw to adjust its
sensitivity.
The sensor is checked and adjusted in 2 steps:
With an empty dry material feeder 1. The yellow LED on the sensor is not illuminated - the setting
is correct.
2. The yellow LED on the sensor is illuminated:
ð Reduce the sensitivity on the adjustment screw (turn anti-
clockwise) until the LED goes out.

With a filled dry material feeder 1. The yellow LED on the sensor is not illuminated - the setting
is correct.
2. The yellow LED on the sensor is not illuminated:
ð Increase the sensitivity on the adjustment screw (turn

– Always observe the safety data sheet for the
polymer used.

WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious inju‐
ries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous sub‐
stances that you have read the latest safety data
sheets provided by the manufacture of the haz‐
ardous substance. The actions required are
described in the safety data sheet. Check the
safety data sheet regularly and replace, if neces‐
sary, as the hazard potential of a substance can be
re-evaluated at any time based on new findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring
that these safety data sheets are available and that
they are kept up to date, as well as for producing
an associated hazard assessment for the worksta‐
tions affected.

11.1 Normal mode


11.1.1 Prerequisites for correct and proper operation

WARNING!
Danger due to system operation
The system may only be operated by instructed
personnel
– The system can in principle be stopped and
restarted in every operating phase
– The cause of a fault should be eliminated
before the corresponding fault message is
acknowledged. However, you can silence the
horn by pressing the key „Horn off“ .

73
Operation of the system

Requirements:
n A reasonable operating parameter set-up
n An accurate calibration
n No unauthorised parameter changes to the frequency con‐
verter

11.1.2 Refilling the feed hopper with powdered polymer


If the feed hopper is not automatically filled by a small feed unit,
the supply of powdered polymer must be continuously checked
and refilled in good time.
This can be done while the system is operational. To do so,
remove the cover of the feed hopper and carefully shake in pow‐
dered polymer.

11.1.3 Refilling the concentrate storage tank with liquid polymer


If the concentrate storage tank is not automatically refilled, the res‐
ervoir of liquid polymer must be continuously checked and refilled
in good time.

11.2 Behaviour When Switching on Mains Power and in the Event of Mains
Power Failure

WARNING!
Automatic start-up
Each time mains power is switched on, the stirrers
start up without regard to the system status meas‐
ured
Each time mains power is switched on, preparation
mode can commence.
Therefore keep all covers or inspection openings
closed.
If it is necessary to work on the system, disconnect
the system from the mains and secure it to prevent
switching back on.

Switching on mains power Each time mains power is switched on, the stirrers start up without
regard to the system status measured
By contrast, the system only starts in preparation mode if the Min.
Switch point has been reached in reservoir 3. If there is a loss of
mains power during preparation mode, even if only for a short
period, once mains power is reconnected, preparation mode is not
continued.

74
Operation of the system

Behaviour in the event of loss of Following a mains power failure, or in the event of a longer loss of
mains power mains power, which results in the controller being restarted, the
controller will unrestrictedly continue with the operation of the
system based on the statuses measured If the level of the storage
tank is within the normal range, no preparation operation will be
started even if a preparation process was running prior to the inter‐
ruption

11.3 Decommissioning
