Note: To be conservative, it is assumed that the sodium hypochorite with a vapor pressure of 17 mmHg at 20 degrees C has the same fugitive
emissions as would anhydrous chlorine with a vapor pressure of 5100 mmHg.
QUESTIONS FOR DETERMINING UNIT -SPECIFIC FACTOR CATEGORY
1. Are techniques available and used to routinely locate specific leaks? Examples include SO2 bombs, ammonia solution, special detectors (such
as those for HCN or phosgene), chemical badges, and sniff testers.
Yes
2. Do you perform leak checks in this process area at least once per day?
Yes, Continous Monitor.
3. Are specific procedures used on each start-up to minimized fugitive emissions? Examples include hydrostatic tests, special leak tests, etc.
Yes
4. Do you have a documented check list startup procedure that helps locate routine leaks?
Yes
5. Do you, have a formal procedure that requires leaks be repaired in a timely manner, including use of overtime if necessary?
