1 Compressed Gas Cylinders: Identification, Assessment, and Treatment Alternatives (FUN WITH CYLINDERS) Chris Weden, OSC R9 Chris Reiner, OSC R9 Duane Newell, Technical Guru ERT-LV 15 th Annual OSC Readiness Training Program

2 Goals of this course are to show: How to assess condition of unknown cylinders; Identify their contents; and Safely and cost effectively neutralize various types of cylinder gases. 15 th Annual OSC Readiness Training Program 1

3 To do this, we will present: Cylinder case studies Subcontracted cylinder treatment ERT cylinder treatment Assessment of cylinders Cylinder / Valve identification References Provided Cylinder saddle and drill set-up Cylinder neutralization 15 th Annual OSC Readiness Training Program 2

11 2007 Assessment May 2007, ASEPA requested ERS assistance for a hazardous materials assessment at the site. Field screening for heavy metals with the XRF and PCBs with Chlor-noil test kits. Measureable amounts of Pb, As, Cr, Fe & Sb found that exceeded Industrial PRGs, but not enough to warrant a Superfund removal action. 15 th Annual OSC Readiness Training Program 10

12 In October 2007 the American Samoa Power Authority (ASPA) awarded a contract to have the seven acre site cleared. During the initial period of scrap metal removal, a cylinder (most likely anhydrous ammonia) was crushed by a piece of heavy equipment. Local Gov t Contract Award Over one dozen site workers were exposed to the ammonia gas and had to be sent to the hospital for observation. No one was seriously harmed Following the incident the Contractor made a sincere effort to segregate all hazardous materials they encountered. 15 th Annual OSC Readiness Training Program 11

17 Contract Close-out Problems Early 2010 March 2010, approx. 800 gas cylinders had been accumulated. Contractor began indiscriminately removing cylinder valves and venting them to the air. ASEPA with FBI immediately shut the site down ASEPA advised ASPA to require a written plan from their contractor before any work removing the cylinders could resume. The first attempt by ASPA s contractor was horribly inadequate. 15 th Annual OSC Readiness Training Program 16

18 2010 Assessment ASPA via ASEPA requested EPA assistance. EPA has issued ASPA a UAO $100,000 performance bond from ASPA contractor 15 th Annual OSC Readiness Training Program 17
