Regarding the sealing of flammable gases
Thread Content
We have a process here that operates on a batch basis, and there is a step in the process during which sealing isn’t possible; the material involved is liquid oil or something similar. How should we address the safety issues in this case? Seeking help
You need to clarify the manufacturing process, what kind of oil is used, and what the working environment is like – whether it’s a high-temperature environment or a confined space – as different situations require different handling methods
I just want to know how to deal with the volatile flammable gases that are produced in such an operation where airtight sealing isn’t possible – should an exhaust hood be used, or should the entire factory building be designed to be open with a blower to circulate air, or are there any other methods to handle this situation?
Construct a suction hood, and install a combustible gas alarm system on-site depending on the properties of the volatile gases. For specific details, refer to the latest emission standards
