Automatic continuous air monitoring system

Automatic Continuous Air Monitoring System (ACAMS) This system can detect G agents, VX, or mustard agents at very low levels. It is an automatic gas chromatograph that first collects agent on a solid sorbent and then thermally desorbs the agents into a separation column for analysis. [Pg.297]

Monitoring for airborne chemical agent is a major activity at each chemical agent disposal facility. Two systems are currently being used (1) the automatic continuous air monitoring system (ACAMS), an active... [Pg.26]

Sensitivity requirements for the near-real-time automatic continuous air monitoring system (ACAMS) for airborne agent are demanding. This is because the allowable stack concentration and time-weighted-average levels used for exhaust stack and in-plant action levels are quite low and because the ACAMS alarms are currently set at 0.2 of the relevant action level. [Pg.31]

The Chemical Weapons Working Group provided a list of 118 items to the committee (see Appendix C), 55 of which were notations of operational shutdowns and unconfirmed automatic continuous air monitoring system (ACAMS) alarms, for example Site masking alarm and/or stack alarm. Potential case of chemical warfare agent release or release of other related toxic chemicals (unidentified to date). It is probable that most, if not all, of the site masking alarms... [Pg.35]

At 10 10 AM Dec 5,2000, an automatic continuous air monitoring system (ACAMS) reading of 1476 time weighted average (TWA) was measured in air drawn from the bottom of bin 135. After another positive ACAMS reading, the site alarm sounded at 10 20 AM and all personnel were masked and sent to checkpoint Charlie for possible... [Pg.37]

While seeking approval to by-pass the lock out of the burners and restart the afterburner, the common stack automatic continuous air monitoring system (ACAMS) alarmed at 11 26 PM. The site was immediately masked. A depot area air monitoring system (DAAMS) tube was taken for analysis at 11 38 PM and another put in its place. ACAMS readings as high as 3.63 allowable stack concentration (ASC) were obtained. The furnace was bottled up (dampers closed to slow airflow) at 11 44 PM. By 12 18 AM on May 9.2000 the ACAMS had cleared and the order to unmask given. [Pg.38]

Staggered automatic continuous air monitoring system (ACAMS) monitors are now being installed in exhaust ducts, to shorten the time for detection of any release of agent. [Pg.60]
