non-Coded Construction for Cooling Tower water filter system

non-Coded Construction for Cooling Tower water filter system

(OP)
Folks, I need some advice please. We/I just procured a Cooling Tower water filter system constructed as "Non-Coded" tanks operating at 80 PSIG in the state of MS (a coded state) which will be pulling water from the cooling tower sump and returning back to the cooling tower through the 18" return line.... of course to cooling towers open to atmosphere.

System is designed to operate at 40psig with a flow of 500gpm. Uses 28 ft^3 of media crushed rock and silica sand.

My question is this?

Does this system qualify under the Exemptions for non-coded vessels; section 45-23-15 under the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety Code.

SEC. 45-23-15. Exemptions


Thanks
Kip
