This facility is a municipal wastewater reclamation facility designed to utilize chlorine as a chemical disinfecting agent for the plant's effluent. It utilizes approximately 300 lbs. of gaseous chlorine per day. Chlorine is stored in 1 ton cylinders as liquified chlorine under pressure. The storage facility is designed to contain chlorine leaks by creating a negative draft through a totally enclosed room and scrubbing the vented gas through a caustic soda air scrubber. The scrubber is designed to reduce chlorine concentration to less than 1 ppm. In the event of a failure of the automatic containment system, manual backup is provided or facility staff in conjunction with the chemical provider are trained to contain any leaks and to minimize any release. A copy of the Emergency Response Plan is attached as a separate ASCII file.
