Chemical technology for the toxic gas flow control through process water system.
The aim of this work is focused on the safety and toxicological aspects due to under-pressure industrial plant management, above all in the case which the gas is very dangerous for human health and environment. Here is illustrated the safe method of control of risks through specific choices of engineering devices and chemical process: in this way we have shown the mathematical calculation regarding the case of ammonia flow gas running in the piping and plant under-pressure. In this paper the Authors show the assessment of the technological solution for falling down of a toxic gas as NH3, which lets off from safety values facilities. The under pressure industrial plants with ammonia are protected through the safety valves, settled at 20 bar pressure. The out-let gas flow is capted by a tank of a water bulk of five time theoretical water amount necessary to the complete absorption of gas. In order to prevent any health risk and carry out a safety management, it needs to verify two basic aspects, with connected specific techniques: 1. The safety valves technology through the mathematical calculation of operating device; 2. The absorption process of the toxic agent for controlling of dangerous runaway of gas.
