6. The Processed Water and Processed Glycol are now ready for mixing and reinhibiting (refer to the
Adding Reinhibitors/Freeze Point Check instructions at the end of the manual). The Processed
Glycol normally contains approximately 10-20% water.
7. Allow the BE-55C to cool for at least two to three hours.
NOTE: Warm residues flow easier than cold residues, allowing the tank to be more completely
drained of residue.
8. Use the Drain Assist to remove the residues from the process tank to a waste container.
CAUTION: LIQUID DRAINED FROM THE PROCESS TANK CAN REMAIN VERY HOT FOR
MANY HOURS. USE EXTREME CARE WHEN DRAINING.
Place the Black Drain Hose into a metal waste container. Depress the Drain Assist Switch and
carefully open the Drain Valve. Air will begin to push the residue into your waste container. When
residue no longer is flowing, and only air is coming out of the hose, close the Drain Valve and push
the Drain Assist Switch to the “off” position. Open the manual drain valve and allow any remaining
liquid to flow into a catch pan, and then close the valve.
NOTE: Use only the special high temperature Black Drain Hose on the air assisted residue drain.
Other hose types may burst due to high temperature.
9. Dispose of residue properly in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations.
10. Perform maintenance as outlined in the “Maintenance Schedule” section of this manual.
NOTE: Residue must be drained after every run. Failure to do so will result in poor quality product
and will damage the BE-55C.
NOTE: If less than 5 gallons of residue is drained, or the material is the consistency of tar, a
cleaning cycle must be performed before attempting another waste coolant cycle (refer to the
“Maintenance Schedule” section of this manual).
NOTE: Never re-run residue or mix residue with waste coolant to re-run. Doing so will result in
poor quality product and will damage the BE-55C.
