Vent security

Many municipalities already have specifications for vent security at their local chemical industrial assets. These specifications typically include the following requirements ... 

All precautions relating to compressed gas cylinders must be enforced—the cylinders must be secured to an immovable object, such as a wall they must have approved pressure regulators in place they must be transported on approved carts etc. Tubing and connectors must be free of gas leaks. There must be an independently vented fume hood in place over the flame to take care of toxic combustion products. Volatile flammable organic solvents and their vapors, such as ether and acetone, must not be present in the lab when the flame is lit. 

The mechanical contractor is usually also responsible for providing adequate pressurized water supply, drainage (with special provisions for low-level areas of the closed-loop water system), bypasses, an electrical supply (typically 110 V, 1 phase, but also 3 phase where temporary pumps are required), HVAC system air purge vents, as well as other facilities, such as site access, toilets, security, and equipment handling systems. 

The local annual production of Azerbaijan amounted to 4.5-6 bcm over the recent years. Because of limitations of the existing offshore pipelines capacity, more than half of the current gas production is reportedly flared or vented. The country s total demand is secured by imports of Russian natural gas (4-6 bcmp.a.). 

All laboratory facilities must be of adequate space and design to provide a suitable work environment for experimentation and testing. The facility must provide an appropriately controlled environment (temperature, humidity, venting, etc.) to allow for a consistent laboratory function. A secure environment with limited and controlled access is required to assure result integrity. Suitable instrumentation and equipment must be installed and qualified as per defined procedures. Scheduled periodic calibration must be performed to demonstrate proper instrumental suitability. Such procedures must be appropriately documented. Reagents and standards must be stored and handled in accordance with good laboratory procedures. 

For drum storage, two 55 gallon drums are needed. One drum is securely positioned above the other. The top drum has a constantly open vent which releases any excess gas that cannot be stored in the drums. The bottom... 

Level of protection 2 (LP-2) is a high-level passive protection that does not utilize sensors. Options for achieving LP-2 include site selection, addition and upgrade of filters and adsorption units specific to biological and chemical threats, compartmentalization and overpressurization of building interiors, filtration of outdoor air, relocation of outdoor air intake vents, local air-washes,2 security protection in the surrounding area, and appropriate operational responses. 

To secure a t fect closing of the vent in all cases is the object of the invention here illustrated. An elastic leather pad. A, is secured to the lower side of the lever, B, which is hinged to the breech of the gun in such position that, when it is turned down, the pad is brought directly over the vent. A hook or catch, C, is faid to the gun on the side posite the hinge, in a way to catch by a spring over the lever as the hitter is tum down, and hold it securely in place with the pad pressed down upon the vent. 

Tin adaptation of the flhit-Jock to cannon was easy, it being merely neeo.ssary to secure the lock in position by a ring around the breech of the gun when tlic hammer fell back, on firing, the blast from the vent pass ed freely, without injury to the loek.
