However, a stripping tower (for methamine stripping) is installed outside the wastewater treatment plant, and since methamine belongs to Category A, does that mean the entire plant should be classified as Category A? Can a stripping tower be placed next to the wastewater treatment plant? If the area is less than 5%, does it not need to be classified as Category A? ” Process Management Group
According to the Provisions on the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals, methylamine is classified as a Category A hazardous chemical. Therefore, the entire facility for treating methamine wastewater should be classified as a Class A facility, and it needs to be designed and managed in accordance with the standards for such facilities. As for the issue of placing the stripping tower next to the sewage treatment plant, it needs to be considered based on the actual circumstances. If there is sufficient distance or isolation between the wastewater treatment plant and the stripper, and the relevant laws, regulations, and safety requirements can be met, then it is possible to consider locating the stripper next to the wastewater treatment plant. But it is not advisable to do so if there are security risks or violations of regulations. It is recommended to consult professionals and comply with relevant laws and regulations before design and construction. .
If you have a methamine distillation tower, then the facility belongs to Category A; it’s best to designate a separate area for that tower, separate from your wastewater processing area.
