Emergency Chlorine Scrubbing
AndMeeting the Codes
Liquefied Gases-- are gases at normal temperature and pressure
that are compressed to a liquid state and usually stored under their own vapor pressure at the prevailing ambient temperature.
Hazardous Gases-- are gases that have a potential for injury to life, limb or property at
relatively low concentrations.- Some common gases used in water and waste treatment plants are
Chlorine or Cl2, Sulfur Dioxide or SO2 and Ammonia or NH3.
Liquefied Hazardous Gases
Important Toxic Gas Concentrations - ppm

• Fatal 1,000 4,000 10,000• IDLH 10 100 300• UFC 5 50 150• Final(OSHA) 1 5 50• TWA 0.5 2 25

Performance Testing
• Certified Test Data - independent testing laboratories, third party consultants
• Meet or exceed “Worst-Case” hazardous gas release rates
• Scrubber exhaust - never to exceed code established discharge concentrations
Wet Reaction Chemistry
Cl2 + 2 NaOH -NaOCl + NaCl + H2O + 628 BTU/lb Cl2(g)
