https://www.apzem.com/                Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) is a colorless gas, with a pungent smell at 0.04ppm. Inhalation of this gas can cause eyes, nose and throat irritation. Exposure to high levels may cause muscle spasms and can damage the lungs and heart and in extreme cases can result in death. Periodic monitoring of  Hydrogen Fluoride is the best solution to ensure the personal safety of workers in different environment.

Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) Monitoring – For Stack , Ambient & Indoor https://www.apzem.in/product/hydrogen-cyanide-hcn-monitoring/ Thu, 28 Jan 2021 12:02:01 +0000 https://www.apzem.in/?post_type=product&p=4654 Hydrogen Cyanide HCN Monitoring for Stack, Ambient & Indoor Environments in industries needs to be done periodically to ensure the safety & standards of the Quality of air that the workers breathe.

HCN is highly toxic by all means of exposure and causes abrupt respiratory and cardiovascular problems and finally death in few minutes if exposed at high levels. Lower concentration exposure can cause nausea, eye irritation, headache and vomiting and in some cases coma and death.

Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) Monitoring

Hydrogen Cyanide HCN Monitoring 

Hydrogen Cyanide is a colorless gas ( At higher temperatures ). Hydrocyanic acid is a colorless or pale blue liquid, with bitter almond odor and bitter burning taste. Hydrogen cyanide is highly volatile and produces lethal concentrations at room temperature and the HCN vapor is flammable and potentially explosive. Its used as 96% aqueous solution and is soluble in water.

Hydrogen cyanide is a predominant industrial chemical and primarily used in the manufacturing of plastics, synthetic fibers like nylon, paints and other chemicals, ore-extraction, electroplating, dying, printing, photography, metal cleaning etc. HCN and other cyanide compounds are also being used as a fumigant to control pests.

Hydrogen Cyanide HCN Rotten eggs 5.6 40 0.93 Slightly  Lighter than air 630mmHg 27.03 13.6eV 0.58 ppm

Common Sources of hydrogen cyanide

Hydrogen cyanide is released from a several natural processes such as, by bacteria, fungi, volcanic activity etc. Other sources includes industrial processes, from combustion or from accidents involving HCN transport. Combustion processes produce hydrogen cyanide gas in the form of gas. Other sources of HCN emission includes building fires, cigarettes, vehicles exhausts and fires involving nitrogen-containing materials such as polyurethane foams.

Hydrogen Cyanide HCN Monitoring services: 

Apzem’s Air Quality monitoring is done by industrial experts with years of rich expertise in the domain of air quality monitoring & dust, fume control. HCN Gas Level monitoring is primarily done to detect and measure parts per billion levels of HCN

Health Effects of Hydrogen Cyanide Exposure

Exposure to hydrogen cyanide can be by anyone of the several ways such as breathing, eating, or drinking the substance or by skin or eye. Severe health effects will occur if exposed to HCN and these effects differs based on the concentration, form of chemical, dosage, duration of exposure etc. HCN’s toxic nature restricts the usage of oxygen by the body. Initial effects of exposure includes sickness, dizziness, headache, confusion and drowsiness. Short Term exposure can cause unconsciousness, fitting, coma and death. It might also cause long term brain and nervous system damage.

Hydrogen Sulfide is a high level toxic gas that can cause sudden death if exposed at high levels and even minimum exposure causes acute damages to the inhaler. Periodic H2S gas level monitoring helps to keep workers safe in hazardous work environment.

Odor Control System for Sewage Treatment Plant

STP ODOR CONTROL UNIT

STP Scrubber located near residential area creates issues if the STP produces unpleasant odors. The odor control unit is becoming primary design consideration for wastewater treatment facilities. Areas in which most Odour Control System for Sewage Treatment Plant, primary treatment facilities and solid handling facilities. Generally, odors are produced by biological reaction at anaerobic/septic conditions.

This condition occurs when oxygen transfer to the wastewater is limited. In the anaerobic state, the microbes present in the wastewater have no dissolved oxygen available for respiration. In the absence of dissolved oxygen (DO) and in the presence of soluble Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), sulfate-reducing bacteria convert the sulfate ion to sulfide.

SO42-  Organic matter H2S + CO2

Sulfur reducing bacteria, which uses sulfur as an energy source, are the primary producers of large quantities of H2S. Sulfur reducing bacteria live in oxygen deficient environment such as deep wells, plumping systems, etc. Due to its low solubility in wastewater, it is released into the atmosphere, producing an offensive odor. Chemical compounds associated with odor are Inorganic compounds, Mercaptans and Organic compounds containing Nitrogen and Sulfur atoms. Among these, Ammonia and Hydrogen sulphide are the main Odor Control System for Sewage Treatment Plant causing compounds.

•  Applicable for high concentration of H2S

•  High maintenance

•  Biofilters can handle some high concentrations of H2S (>200 ppm)

•   Large foot print

Dry scrubber A product in which adsorbent is uniformly distributed and the pollutants is removed by physical adsorption •  No maintenance

•  High efficiency

•  High media consumption

•   Not regenerable

Engineered media dry scrubber A product in which adsorbent is uniformly distributed and the pollutants is removed by both physical adsorption and catalytic/chemical conversion •  No maintenance

•  Very high efficiency

•  High adsorption capacity for H2S

•  Regnerable

•  Low media

•   Not applicable for high concentration of H2S (for >200 ppm)
  • Removes odor from sewer exhaust by using physical adsorption and chemical conversion
  • Adsorption is when ions, atoms, or molecules, from one source adhere to the surface of another element. Conversely, absorption is when the substrate incurs volume from the odorous substance.
  • Adsorption uses activated carbon to act as the media. This is done by forcing the odorous air displaced from the wet well across a bed of activated carbon, which produces clean air.
  • Class of activated carbon: Engineered activated carbon for sewage air
  • Flow rate: Minimum of 6 x airspace/headspace volume per hour. If the volume of a SPS wet well at the lowest operating level is 10 m³, then the required minimum flow rate is 60 m³/hour.
  • Outlet concentration as achieved at the outlet
    • Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) = 0.1 ppm , Mercaptans (Thiols) = 0.02 ppm
    • Otherwise, at a level that is demonstrated to achieve no odour nuisance at the nearest residence or public space.
Odor Control System for Sewage Treatment Plan
  • Physical adsorption and catalytic conversion property
  • It can typically remove 99.9% of all incoming contaminates.
  • The bed life is defined as the length of time between replacements of the activated carbon media based on breakthrough of gas contaminants above the target design levels.
  • Advantages: Very high efficiency, Regeneration of carbon. https://www.apzem.in/index.php/product/odor-control-system-for-sewage-treatment-plant/

Once the hydrogen sulfide concentration gets higher it is better to move onto a different type of odor control (i.e. bio-filtration or chemical scrubbing).
