8.7.1
Solvent Bottle Depressurization
The reason for storing the solvent bottles depressurized is to prevent the solvent from becoming
saturated with gas. A solvent saturated with gas at
9
PSI may out-gas during a delivery causing
uneven RV filling. Storing the solvent in a depressurized state results in significantly reduced
absorption of gas and related uneven RV filling. The solvent bottles can be depressurized by turning
the valves on the top of the Bottle Cap Assemblies towards the vent port, allowing the gas pressure to
release and then turning the valve to the closed position. The closed position is defined as any valve
position other than towards the BTL PRESS, or VENT port. Before reuse, the Bottle Cap Assembly
valves should be turned toward the BTL
PRESS
tubing and allowed to stand for
10
minutes to
pressurize. If the solvent bottles have been stored in a pressurized state and uneven filling of RVs is
experienced, sparging of the solvent bottle is recommended.
8.7.1.1
Solvent Sparging Procedure
Sparging a solvent involves forcing inert gas at 9psi back into the bottle to outgas the solvent.
Perform the following steps to sparge a solvent.
On the solvent to be sparged,
turn
the valve on the Bottle Cap Assembly toward the vent port.
On the Reactor Unit, place both MANIFOLD toggle valves to the closed position.
Open the toggle valve on ASWM that corresponds to bottle position to be sparged (A, B, C, or
Dl-
Open the PURGE toggle valve, bubbles should be visible inside the sparging solvent bottle
coming out of the solvent pickup tube. Allowing the sparging to continue for five minutes.
Return the PURGE and Bottle position toggle valves to the closed position.
On the Reactor Unit, return both MANIFOLD toggle valves to the open position.
Return the valve on the Bottle Cap Assembly to the BTL PRESS position to re-pressurize the
sparged solvent.
