Drum storage

Initially a molten tube of plastic called the Parison is extruded through an annular die. A mould then closes round the parison and a jet of gas inflates it to take up the shape of the mould. This is illustrated in Fig. 4.21(a). Although this process is principally used for the production of bottles (for washing-up liquid, disinfectant, soft drinks, etc.) it is not restricted to small hollow articles. Domestic cold water storage tanks, large storage drums and 2(X)... 

Warehouse receiving and storage drums, boxes, carboys for raw processing materials as well as laboratory control and testing chemicals. 

Normally only used for further dilution of previously prepared rubber solutions to ensure uniformity. Often used after storage periods for such products as bonding agents to lift deposits from the bottom of delivery and storage drums and to re-establish full dispersion of all the components of the system. 

These data contradict a common assumption that a majority of reactive incidents involve chemical reactor vessels. Chemical processing and storage equipment (excluding reactors) and bulk storage drums account for over 65 percent of the equipment involved in reactive incidents. The case histories highlighted throughout Section 3.0 are examples of reactive incidents that did not occur in reaction vessels.

As can be seen from the Global Reactive Chemicals Standard, all existing chemical processes will have a Reactive Chemicals/Process Hazard Analysis review on a predefined periodic basis. In addition, every new plant Production Leader should review their process with the Reactive Chemicals Committee within 90 days of assuming responsibility for a pilot or production plant. Prior to the review, the Leader should acquire training on the chemistry and processes that they are working with. This should include an evaluation of raw materials, processes, products and waste to understand any potential reactive chemical hazards. They should review and be prepared to answer questions from the completed and updated RC/PHA protocol questionnaire as well as other relevant materials in their plant Process Safety Folder, such as F EI, CEI, etc. The review should cover all auxiliary operations to the process such as raw material and product storage drum, tank car and truck loading.

Drill site construction and rigging-up This involves the use of heavy equipment, which should be well maintained to reduce the potential for fuel and lubricating oil leaks that may contaminate the site. Preventative maintenance during the construction phase can help prevent the generation of contaminated soil and water. For example, secondary containment beneath fuel storage drums can prevent releases to soil and water.

For underground burial, incorporation of the highly radioactive fission (HRF) products into a glass or ceramic material is better than placing it in metal storage drums. 

Storage drums can corrode, allowing the waste to seep into aquifers and/or contaminate large areas of soil. 

Step 1. The contaminant source or release point, such as landfills or storage drums, are identified. 

Ideally, lead azide destruction should be done with little manipulation and no physical movement of the storage drums. This can be accomplished by siphoning off the alcohol-water desensitizing solution from each drum, flushing out the sawdust with water, and filling each drum with a concentrated solution of sodium chloride containing an excess of sodium carbonate. The products are lead azidochloride, basic lead carbonate, and sodium azide. This procedure was investigated at the bench scale [45], and it was found that the lead azide was completely destroyed in three months. 

Storage drums or tanks, located within a unit, usually are given secondary consideration and are located as space permits, mostly at the outer limits of the unit. 

Trucks are used for the transportation of hazardous materials. Stainless steel tanks are used in highway trucks. Storage drums and a corroded storage drum are shown in Figure 3.26.
