There are 4 800L liquid chlorine cylinders in the chlorine storage area; is it necessary to set up a dike?
Thread Content
There is one chlorine storage facility containing 800L liquid chlorine cylinders, for a total of 4 800L cylinders (not storage tanks or tank containers). Is it necessary to install a dike? Which standard is referenced for implementation?
Please follow the relevant requirements of the chlorine safety regulations for setup.
Appropriate emergency response facilities are required, but it isn’t necessary to set up cofferdams; there are no mandatory requirements for this
Leaking liquid chlorine also turns into a gas; there are appropriate emergency handling facilities available, such as absorption towers, alkali tanks, and alkali solution spraying systems
At present, our factory implements a three-in-one system: alarm activation + automatic closure of the rolling door + activation of the emergency absorption device. If the safety assessment is passed, there should be no major problems
I’ve been wondering about something: who was it that suggested installing dikes around liquid chlorine back then? :Sleepy: Why not develop a balloon that can capture the leaking gas?
