All wooden packaging material used for international shipments must conform to current phytosanitary standards to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of quarantine pest species associated with the movement in international trade of wood packaging material made from raw wood.

All wood packaging material used to transport shipping frames internationally, must comply with ISPM15 which is the standard for phytosanitary measures and be properly stamped indicating compliance with the standard. Failure to comply with the standard may lead to shipment refusal and subsequent project delays. For detailed information on ISPM15 please visit the ISPM15 website.

Whenever possible, save and re-use the wooden skids that the shipping frames arrived on for return freight purposes.
8 Solution Design Notes

8.1 Permits
Regulatory Requirements
Corona is responsible to review and report to the permit granting agency on the impact of any of the proposed changes on the regulatory permit. Veolia will provide the necessary manufacturer’s technical support on regulatory issues.

Please speak with your regional lifecycle manager (RLM) if there are any regulatory requirements or concerns.

Utilization
Veolia understands that these modules are required as replacements for currently installed modules.

These modules are offered on the basis that the membrane modules will not be used to provide expanded flow beyond the current plant flow rating. Veolia makes no guarantees, implied or otherwise as to the performance of these modules in any other capacity than as replacement membranes.

Production Interruption
After the purchase order is acknowledged, Veolia’s project manager for the installation will consult with Corona to jointly develop the installation plan and work schedule with due regard for membrane delivery to the plant and plant preparation.

8.2 Maintenance Notes for Replacement Membranes
At the time of any full plant or full train membrane replacement, it is recommended to evaluate whether it is the right time to address any tank coating repairs which may be required.

Preferential Flow
Mixing a small proportion of new modules in trains with large amounts of older modules is not recommended as it creates a risk of over-fluxing of new modules, which can shorten their lives. For ZW500D membranes, the mixing of old and new modules in the same cassette makes slack adjustment more difficult. Veolia recommends that Corona plan membrane module replacement on a complete cassette and complete train basis wherever possible to achieve both optimal performance and best value from the new membrane modules. In this case, by replacing all membrane modules in the plant, this risk has been neutralized.

Membrane Slack
Veolia’s membranes are supplied and shipped with an initial factory fiber slack designed to optimize membrane air scouring during operation as well as accommodate a degree of shrinkage. Membranes shrink in length early in their lifecycle when exposed to higher temperature water. The pace of shrinkage slows with age. With the installation of new membranes, the requirements for slack adjustment start a new cycle.

Due to the wide variety of operating environments in which our products can be utilized, it is difficult to generally predict the rate of shrinkage. If membranes operate in a condition of insufficient slack for an extended period of time, irreversible damage to the fiber-urethane bond may occur. Please refer below to the recommended inspection frequencies based on your plant’s membrane tank operating temperature. Visual inspections should begin during the membrane installation and be repeated over time on the same cassette. Digital pictures will allow for comparative analysis of the fiber slack over time.

Maximum Operating
Temperature Recommended Slack Inspection Frequency
0-24 °C / 32-76 °F every 2 years
25-30 °C / 77-86 °F once per year
>30 °C / > 86 °F twice per year
Bubble Test Pressure
The bubble test pressure for the purchased membranes is 2 psi horizontally and 3 psi vertically.

8.3 Technical
Hoses & Fittings
Veolia has assumed for this proposal that the current aeration and permeate cassette connections for the ZW500D cassettes do not need replacing at this time. If this is not so, please advise Veolia and request that they be added to this proposal.

Membrane replacement proposal for the Corona Plant #3
Proposal number 543090– revision #0 – July 6, 2023 Page 17 of 32 Blowers
For the purposes of this proposal, the range of blower turndown capacity has been assumed to be adequate for this upgrade.

Pre-Screen
Trash and non-biodegradable solids, such as hair, lint, grit and plastics may foul or damage the membranes if allowed to pass into the membrane chamber. Veolia recommends that an internally-fed screen with mesh or punched-hole openings less than or equal to 2 mm with no possibility of bypass or carryover be operated upstream of the new membranes to ensure effective operation and to maximize membrane life.
9 Health & Safety
Corona
o Corona will provide orientation to Seller’s personnel to ensure site-specific safety protocols are known. Corona will identify and inform Seller’s personnel of any sitespecific hazards present in the workplace that could impact the delivery of Seller’s scope of supply and agrees to work with Seller to remove, monitor, and control the hazards to a practical level.
o Corona will provide any site-specific or standard company operating procedures and practices for Seller’s personnel to perform work on site, if required by Corona’s policies.

Such programs may include, but are not limited to, general environmental health & safety (EHS), HAZOP, fire protection, drug testing, incident notice, site conduct, standard first aid, chemical receiving, electrical safety, etc. Corona will provide a certificate of program completion for Seller’s personnel. This program will be fully documented, training materials will be provided, and attendance list will be kept. o If any type of lifting devices will be used on site, Corona will provide proof of its maintenance, inspection and certification documentation upon request and will assist the Veolia service representative to complete a safety inspection checklist. o Where confined space entry may be required, Corona will provide early notice and will collaborate with Veolia in planning adequate staffing and in advising the local fire/rescue department as required.
o No time or cost provision has been made for preparations such as safety record clearances, drug testing, insurance confirmations or pre-job-training in excess of 1 hour.

Prior to finalizing the Purchase Order and the work schedule, Corona will advise Veolia of any pre-job or pre-mobilization requirements. Where these requirements exceed 1 hour, this time will be charged to Corona at rates set out in the prevailing Veolia labor rate sheet.
o Where certain short duration activities require two people for safety and the Veolia Service representative is alone at site, Corona will cooperate as required to assure that correct safety precautions are taken.

If Buyer sends to Seller other terms and conditions to which Seller may not respond, including but not limited to those contained in Buyer’s purchase order, such shall not apply. This Agreement may only be revised by a change order approved in writing by both Parties. All terms not defined herein shall be defined in Seller´s proposal.

2. Equipment and Services. The Equipment to be delivered and the Services to be provided shall be as set out in this Agreement. Unloading, handling, storage, installation, and operation of Buyer’s systems or the Equipment are the responsibility of Buyer. Buyer shall not require or permit Seller’s personnel to operate Buyer’s systems or the Equipment at Buyer’s site.

3. Prices and Payment. Buyer shall pay Seller for the Equipment and Services in accordance with the payment schedule (as set forth in Seller´s proposal or, if applicable, in any special conditions agreed to in writing by the Parties).

Unless otherwise specified in writing, payment is due net thirty (30) days from the date of Seller’s invoice. Seller may require a Letter of Credit or other payment guarantee, in which case the stated amount of the guarantee will be adjusted by Buyer in the event of any currency-based adjustment to prices or payment amounts per the Payment Schedule, and Buyer shall deliver the adjusted guarantee within five (5) days of request by Seller. Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller for collection costs, including 2% (two percent) interest per month (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), should Buyer fail to timely pay.
