We throttled down the Pump Station operating press to 30psi, then move the BSC8 4-way valves to bypass isolating the Actuators at the Chamber.  We then put the Pump Station System up on the Mechanical Room Mezzanine into recirculate mode.  Then the 1-1/2" supply lines in the LVEA were closed.  With pans and pitchers in place, we started opening up the drain and vent ports.  With a little additional help from some bottled gas in the vent port we have pretty much emptied the system.  All the port are closed for the night.  We'll let the fluid pool overnight--there is a lot of shallow sloped tube.  In the morning we'll dump the final bit that accumulates overnight and then start taking out the temporary lines.
