29 29 Layers of Protection

30 30 Layers of Protection Hurricane Harvey AIChE Discussion Board

31 CO 2 Exposure Issues After carefully reviewing the record evidence submitted in response to OSHA's proposal for carbon dioxide, the Agency has determined that exposure limits of 10,000 ppm (8-hour TWA) and 30,000 ppm (15-minute STEL) are appropriate. Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless, noncombustible gas. CARBON DIOXIDE - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cdc.gov/niosh/pel88/ html 31

32 CO 2 Exposure Issues Super Critical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) - Utilizes CO 2 as the mobile phase - LCO 2 Dewars - LCO 2 Bulk Tanks & Piping Cell Culture Incubators - Small rooms? - Fit for purpose? Considerations: - Source volume: bulk, Dewar, or gas cylinder - Flow rate - Room volume - Rate of air change any recirc? - Detection/alarm 32

33 ODH - H 2 S Leak and Purge In Tunnels Summary 33 Crenshaw UG1 Hydrogen Sulfide Leak and Purge

34 527 CMR MA Comprehensive Fire Safety Code Hazardous Process Category. Hazardous material processes shall be defined as follows: (1) Category 1..vessel with a capacity that is less than or equal to 2.5 gallons. (2) Category 2..vessel with capacity that is greater than 2.5 gallons but less than or equal to 60 gallons. (3) Category 3..vessel that is greater than 60 gallons but is less than or equal to 300 gallons.. or a process area that is classified as being a H Occupancy (4) Category 4..vessel with a capacity that is greater than 300 gallons and is not considered a Category 5 Process. (5) Category 5...vessel with a capacity that is equal or in excess of threshold quantities stated in 29 CFR or 40 CFR Part 68 and regulated by such standard. 34
