1 WHAT IS A RELEASE OF AMMONIA? THE AMMONIA GROUP P.O. BOX 600 ALTA, CA mikectag@colfaxnet.com
2 BEFORE WE START The ammonia industry has suffered 3 fatal accidents this month. Take a moment and think about your situation and how you can make it better.
3 RELEASE WHO DECIDES? THE FEDS? THE STATE? THE COUNTY? YOU?
4 RELEASE? MAYBE
5 RELEASE? PROBABLY...
6 RELEASE? HARD TO HIDE
7 THE REGULATOR HOW SHOULD WE LOOK AT THEM? FRIEND OR FOE?
8 A REGULATOR TRYING TO BE YOUR FRIEND! GOOD OR BAD? ALMOST ALWAYS.BAD
9 A PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE WORKS IN YOUR BEHALF PROFESSIONALS GIVE ACCURATE ADVICE AND INSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS CARE ABOUT THEIR CAREERS AND TRY TO KEEP UP TO DATE ON THE LATEST CHANGES EXAMPLES: THE DRUNK DRIVER JUVENILE DRAG RACERS THE COMMUNITY
10 The regulators that we meet in auditing the CalARP/PSM can save you a lot of money! Have you ever operated ammonia equipment outside design limitations?
11 A RELEASE? A slightly leaking valve (packing).
12 A RELEASE? Result A $250,000 dollar loss of product. Apples
13 A RELEASE? >10 pound release in an engine room
14 A RELEASE? The result One operator sent to the hospital to be checked to be safe (treated and released) Fire department called, but were not needed as the tank had emptied,and had been isolated from the ammonia system $ 15, fine
15 A RELEASE? A brief relief valve release at 4am. Reset within a minute or two.
16 RESULT A four hour delay in starting the reporting process. $ 15, fine
17 SIDEBAR I HAVE SEEN REPORTED, THE FIRST MILLION DOLLAR FINE FOR NON REPORTING IN 2008
18 A RELEASE? Reported concentrations at the scene 3.2 ppm to 8 ppm (10 readings)
19 A RELEASE? The result Reporting: Not required in Calif. If Highway Patrol is called. They will report by statute. Criminal trial against the carrier. The county wanted the judge and jury to: 1) Revoke the operating authority of the carrier 2) $ 10, fine for the release 3) $ 250, in civil penalties
20 WHICH OF THESE CAUSES MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE INDUSTRY? 1) WHEN DO WE REPORT? 2) HOW DO WE REPORT? 3) WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO REPORT? 4) WHAT IS A RELEASE?
21 How many had it right? 3) WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO REPORT?
22 WHAT IS A RELEASE? 1) One hundred pounds in 24 hours 2) Ten pounds in 12 hours 3) Facility evacuation no release 4) Any amount 5) A threat of a release 6) 15,000 pounds that nobody knows about.
23 WHAT IS A RELEASE? ANSWER 1) One hundred pounds in 24 hours 2) Ten pounds in 12 hours 3) Facility evacuation no release 4) Any amount 5) A threat of a release 6) 15,000 pounds that nobody knows about.
24 What Makes Sense? My personal view and recommendation. 1 Any time anyone smells, and or reports an odor of ammonia (other than maintenance personnel working on the Ammonia system should be immediately investigated by trained responders.
25 What Makes Sense? My personal view and recommendation. 2 Responders (at least 2) shall respond immediately upon notification with portable ammonia detection equipment to the location of the reported odor of ammonia. They may also carry PPE and tools appropriate to mitigate a minor release. (Example: packing leak or a valve not fully closed, etc.
26 What Makes Sense? My personal view and recommendation. 3 Responders (at least 2) shall record ammonia concentrations from at least 4 different spots in the reported area. All measurements shall be taken at 4 to 6 feet above the floor/ground. (This is the air we and workers are breathing.
27 What Makes Sense? My personal view and recommendation. 4A If the odor of ammonia is verified: A) Evacuate the area at any concentration of ammonia where anyone reports any personal irritation or injury from the odor of ammonia. (reporting timelines begin here)
28 What Makes Sense? My personal view and recommendation. 4 B If the odor of ammonia is verified: B) and the levels of ammonia are below 25 ppm (OSHA personal exposure level from which no injury is predicted) and no one is reporting irritation or injury, responders may continue to attempt to locate the leak/ release. (it is not necessary to place the inlet of the detection equipment on the (leaking valve) and record that #)
29 What Makes Sense? My personal view and recommendation. 4 C If the odor of ammonia is verified: C) and the levels of ammonia are above 35 ppm, stop and evacuate the area even if no one is complaining about he odor of ammonia. Begin Emergency Response procedures here. (reporting timelines begin here)
30 What Makes Sense? My personal view and recommendation. 5 All of these scenarios shall require the Incident Reporting procedures as contained in your CalArp program. In scenario 4B, the Incident Reports should be filed and kept in house.
31 Emergency Response Which of the following is most important? 1) Level A suits 2) Knowledge of ammonia 3) Preplan 4) Identifying the Hot, Warm, Cold Zone 5) Call 911 6) Incident Command
32 Emergency Response Which of the following is most important? 1) Preplan
33 Emergency Response Which of the following is most important? 1) Preplan
34 Emergency Response Which of the following is most important? 1) Preplan
35 Emergency Response Preplan Example #2 #1 ACCUMULATOR TANKS (LPR) PUMPS ENGINE ROOM HPR (KING VALVE) HALLWAY #3 COMFORT COOLING PRODUCTION AREA CONDENSERS (ON ROOF
36 Emergency Response RELEASE AREA ACTION? #2 #1 ACCUMULATOR TANKS (LPR) PUMPS ENGINE ROOM HPR (KING VALVE) HALLWAY #3 COMFORT COOLING PRODUCTION AREA CONDENSERS (ON ROOF
37 Emergency Response RELEASE AREA ACTION? 1)TURN OFF PUMPS #2 #1 ACCUMULATOR TANKS (LPR) PUMPS ENGINE ROOM HPR (KING VALVE) HALLWAY #3 COMFORT COOLING PRODUCTION AREA CONDENSERS (ON ROOF
38 Emergency Response RELEASE AREA ACTION? 2)CLOSE LIQUID LINE #2 #1 ACCUMULATOR TANKS (LPR) PUMPS ENGINE ROOM HPR (KING VALVE) HALLWAY #3 COMFORT COOLING PRODUCTION AREA CONDENSERS (ON ROOF
39 Emergency Response RELEASE AREA ACTION? 3)REMOVE AMMONIA #2 #1 ACCUMULATOR TANKS (LPR) PUMPS ENGINE ROOM HPR (KING VALVE) HALLWAY #3 COMFORT COOLING PRODUCTION AREA CONDENSERS (ON ROOF
40 Emergency Response RELEASE AREA ACTION? #2 #1 ACCUMULATOR TANKS (LPR) PUMPS ENGINE ROOM HPR (KING VALVE) HALLWAY #3 COMFORT COOLING PRODUCTION AREA CONDENSERS (ON ROOF
41 Emergency Response RELEASE AREA (RED) ACTION? 1) CLOSE KING VALVE #2 #1 ACCUMULATOR TANKS (LPR) PUMPS ENGINE ROOM HPR (KING VALVE) HALLWAY #3 COMFORT COOLING PRODUCTION AREA CONDENSERS (ON ROOF
42 Emergency Response RELEASE AREA (RED) ACTION? 2) REMOVE AMMONIA #2 #1 ACCUMULATOR TANKS (LPR) PUMPS ENGINE ROOM HPR (KING VALVE) HALLWAY #3 COMFORT COOLING PRODUCTION AREA CONDENSERS (ON ROOF
43 Emergency Response SOME CLOSING THOUGHTS 1) I USE POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION EVERY WHERE EXCEPT IN A FREEZER IN FREEZER RELEASE I WOULD a) STOP LIQUID FLOW TO RELEASE POINT b) REPAIR OR ISOLATE LEAK c) TURN REFRIGERATION BACK ON d) USE NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION 2) I HAVE NEVER NEEDED A LEVEL A ENTRY TO AMMONIA 3) NEVER ENTER A VISIBLE CLOUD (without monitoring) 4) IF YOU CAN T SEE THE PROBLEM, YOU CAN T FIX IT
