Problems with alarm settings in hazardous waste storage warehouses
Thread Content
How can it be determined whether there are volatile gases in the hazardous waste stored in a hazardous waste storage facility? How can the composition of these gases be identified? And how should gas detectors be positioned? Please, experts, give me some advice!
It is the hazardous waste stored in your hazardous waste warehouse that determines what volatile gases are present.

4.2.2 When the source of release is located in a closed factory building or a semi-open factory building with poor local ventilation, the horizontal distance between the combustible gas detector and any source of release within its coverage area should not exceed 5 m； The horizontal distance between a toxic gas detector and any source of emission within its coverage area should not exceed 2 m.
