Incorrect Installation, Operation & maintenance of these vessels may cause loss of life, severe bodily harm,
and / or property damage. Read and understand all guidelines given in this bulletin before attempting to
open, service or operate these vessels. Failure to follow these guidelines and observe every precaution may
result in malfunction and could result in catastrophic failure. Misuse, incorrect assembly or use of damaged or
corroded components can result in explosive release of the end closure. We recommend that only a qualified
technician experienced in servicing highpressure hydraulic systems, open, close and service these vessels.

Preface
The CodeLine OCTA is a standardized series of fiberglass pressure vessels designed for continuous, long-
term use as housings for reverse osmosis, nano-filtration, ultra-filtration and micro-filtration membranes.
Any make of an eight-inch diameter spiral-wound membrane element can be easily accommodated in these
vessels.
The CodeLine OCTA Series is designed for different pressure ratings. They are unified in design and have
maximum number of parts in common. Each model has the appropriate strength and materials of construction
to provide years of continuous use in typical service when properly maintained. Each model is available in
lengths, to house from one to eight, 40-inch long membrane elements. One to five membrane elements of
60-inch length, can also be accommodated.
The CodeLine OCTA Series is designed and built in accordance with the engineering standards of the Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME Code). A vessel marked
with ASME Code stamp is accepted worldwide as being built to the highest standard of safety.
Each model in the CodeLine OCTA Series has passed rigorous ASME Code qualification tests which require
that the vessels do not burst at less than six times their design pressure. Safe use is further assured in that
vessels will not fail catastrophically; overpressure is relieved by weeping through the fiberglass shell. Also,
every production vessel is hydro-tested to verify structural integrity.
While undertaking regular maintenance / repair / replacement of a pressure vessel it may be necessary to
remove the pressure vessel from a bank. Also ensure sufficient spares are available for replacement. Care must
be taken in installation / removal of the vessel to avoid damage to the shell. Damage to the shell can result in
catastrophic failure and possible injury to personnel. Any corrections or recommendation for improvement
for this manual should be addressed to:
