Brite/Grundy Tank Purge SOP
How to purge a 15+ bbl brite tank or Grundy of oxygen with CO2 before use.
Steps
- Send CO2 for 1-2 minutes at 20 psi through the carb stone to purge any sanitizer left inside it.
- Attach the nipple to the bottom of the tank.
- Switch gas and attach it to the nipple at the bottom of the tank.
- Purge for 3 hours at 3-5 psi from the bottom of the tank with the CO2 microvalve open. Intermittently blow out the racking arm, sight glass, and sample port during this time.
- Seal off the tank, increase the regulator to 10 psi, and bring the tank pressure up.
- Confirm there are no leaks.
If something goes wrong
If you find a leak during the final check, don't seal the tank for use - address the leak and re-run the pressure check before moving on.
