THE PROBLEM

As part of its Remelt Department operations, Logan Aluminum stores and utilizes one ton of chlorine for its filtration process. During routine tank changeovers, the facility recognized the potential risk of accidental chlorine releases. While an emergency wet scrubber using sodium hydroxide was already in place, Logan Aluminum identified the need for an additional layer of protection. To further enhance safety and ensure effective response to potential spills, the company sought an auxiliary chlorine neutralization system designed to safeguard employees while maintaining operational reliability. To minimize exposure and prevent severe burns to the skin and eyes, personnel must wear appropriate personal protective equipment whenever managing sodium hydroxide. PureAir’s Emergency Gas Dry Scrubber (EGS) employs Safetysorb, an alumina-based chemisorbant media cleanwater1.com info@cleanwater1.com 866.543.7479 that is fireproof and non-hazardous in its unused and used form. The non-flamable properties of Safetysorb, combined with its minimal maintenance requirements, delivered the effective and hazard-free solution that met Logan Aluminum’s safety and operational goals
