规范合规性：环氧乙烷 (ETO)
A Comprehensive Guide for Sterilization & Fumigation Facilities
1. Receiving and Unloading Procedures
Compliance with subsection 14.2 is mandatory for both full and empty ETO containers.
Safety Checkpoints
- Vehicle engines must be OFF, brakes set, and wheels chocked.
- No smoking or open flames within 25 ft (7.62 m)。
- Containers must be kept UPRIGHT at all times.
Handling Prohibitions
- NO Stacking: Containers must never be stacked or rolled.
- Forklift Safety: Do not lift drums by placing forks under chime rings.
2. Storage Standards
Indoor Storage Limit: The maximum quantity of ETO in a sterilization building is 10,000 lb (4536 kg)。
Indoor Areas
- Classified for ignition source control (Class I, Div 2).
- Spot heating limit: 125°F (51.7°C)。
Outdoor Areas
- 25% of perimeter must be open to atmosphere.
- Clear of dry vegetation for 15 ft (4.6 m)。
- Provide protection from vehicle damage.
3. Piping Systems & Gas Dispensing
All metallic piping must comply with ASME B31.3 (Process Piping) and have a minimum melting point of 1500°F (815.6°C)。
Ventilation Rate
Mechanical ventilation must operate continuously at no less than 1 scf/min•ft² of floor area.
Shutoff Valves
Each system requires two remotely operated shutoff valves. The first must be within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the container.
4. Disposal and Emission Control
Compliance with Section 14.9 ensures environmental safety and effective ETO neutralization.
Wet Scrubbers
必须进行设计，使溶液无法进入生产线。纯液体 ETO 绝不能直接送入气体处理洗涤器。
催化转化器
如果温度超过催化剂供应商的限制，则必须包括自动关闭。

5. 施工 & 消防安全
- 泄爆： 根据第 6.10 节，结构必须具有不燃结构和爆炸控制。
- 灭火： ETO 储存区域必须受到保护 雨淋系统 根据 NFPA 16。
- 粘合： 所有管道必须接地以控制静电。
