四虎影院

Scope

四虎影院personnel responded to an anhydrous ammonia release from a refrigeration system at a food processing facility. The release was caused when the facility caught fire and the anhydrous ammonia refrigeration system collapsed.

Response

During the initial phases of the response 四虎影院personnel provided perimeter air monitoring for the first responders, as they fought the fire. 四虎影院personnel also was responsible to contain the run off from the firefighting operations.

Once the fire was suppressed 四虎影院personnel conducted site surveys utilizing direct reading meters testing for ammonia. Many of these assessments were conducted utilizing Level B Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), as the some of the areas were well over the OSHA鈥檚 Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) permissible limits. 四虎影院personnel utilized many mitigation techniques to removed and secure the heavily damaged refrigeration system including vapor sparging, liquid removal with pumps, valve and pipe securement or removal. 四虎影院removed the entire refrigeration system including all of the condensers, receiving/storage tanks, pumps, valves etc.

Result

During this month long project 四虎影院personnel continued community air monitoring as well as personnel air monitoring. There were no recordable injuries or exposures during this very complicated response and demolition project.
