I would get MSDS and quantities. Then go to your adopted codes. International Fire Code Chapter 27 is for hazardous materials. Figure out the maximum quantities for a control area. Also research if primary and secondary containment is required. I hope this helps. Wheeling Fire Inspector
Tom Reinhardt 2 Community Boulevard Wheeling, IL 60090 847-499-9067 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Douglas Hicks Sent: Monday, February 06, 2012 3:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: SO2 chemical The city is asking if sprinkler coverage is needed at the sewage treatment plant. Of particular concern is a room (8 x 12) where the chlorine in the sewage is treated with SO2 (sulfur dioxide) so the discharge is rendered safe to be put into the river. The building construction is a combination of wood and brick. I do not know any dimensions of the entire building or other rooms. At present, there is a sprinkler head in the SO2 room, plumbed off the potable water supply. No shut off valves, no gauges, no drains. My initial response is if a sprinkler system is needed, it would be addressed by the city's insurance carrier. Anyone familiar with a sprinkler in treatment plants? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
