Emergency Overview:
|
|
Carbon Dioxide is a
colorless gas or a colorless, cryogenic liquid. At
low concentrations, the gas is odorless. At higher
concentrations it has a sharp, acidic odor. It will
act as an asphyxiant and an irritant.
Carbon Dioxide
is a powerful cerebral dilator. At concentrations
between 2 and 10%, Carbon Dioxide can cause nausea,
dizziness, headache, mental confusion, increased
blood pressure and respiratory rate. Above 8% nausea
and vomiting appear. Above 10%, suffocation and
death can occur within minutes.
Contact with the
cold gas can cause freezing of exposed tissue.
Moisture in the air can lead to formation of
carbonic acid that can irritate the eyes. All forms
of Carbon Dioxide are noncombustible.
Carbon Dioxide
is heavier than air and should not be allowed to
accumulate in low lying areas. |

Explosion Data
|
|
|
Sensitivity to
mechanical impact:
|
|
Avoid impact
against container. |
|
|
Explosive power:
|
|
Closed containers
may rupture or explode due to pressure build-up when
exposed to extreme heat. |
|
|
|
|
|
Leak/Spill:
|
|
Evacuate all
non-essential personnel. |
|
Stop leak without
risk. |
|
Wear gloves and
goggles |
|
Use a
self-contained breathing apparatus.
|
|
Ventilate area.
Monitor the surrounding area for Carbon Dioxide and
Oxygen levels. Carbon Dioxide must be below the 5000
PPM TLV/PEL level shown in Section 2 and Oxygen must
be at least 19.5% before personnel may be allowed
into the area without self-contained breathing
apparatus.
|
|
A portion of the
released liquid may form dry ice. Clear the area
and allow the solid to sublime/ evaporate and
dissipate. If the area must be entered by emergency
personnel, self-contained breathing apparatus,
Kevlar gloves, and appropriate foot and leg
protection must be worn. Solid pieces of dry ice may
be picked up with tongs and gloves, placed into a
thermally insulated and vented container and moved
to a safe disposal location. |
|
|
|
|
|
Handling procedures and
equipment:
|
Never allow any
unprotected part of the body to touch uninsulated
pipes or vessels that contain cold fluids. The
extremely cold metal of the container will cause
moist flesh to stick fast and tear when one attempts
to withdraw from it.
|
|
Protect system
components against physical damage. Check all hoses
and transfer equipment before filling them with the
liquid. Replace any worn or cut hoses prior to use.
|
Liquid Carbon
Dioxide is extremely cold and is under pressure. A
leak will result in the formation of "Dry Ice"
particles which will be forcibly ejected from the
system, possibly injuring the operator. A complete
hose failure can result in a large release of Carbon
Dioxide and violent movement of the hose and
associated equipment, which may cause severe injury
or death. Special care must be taken when
depressurizing and disconnecting hoses.
|
Releasing the
contents of a liquid-filled line to atmospheric
pressure may result in the formation of a solid dry
ice plug in the line. This plug will prevent further
removal of the liquid behind the plug, resulting in
either an unexpected, rapid release of Carbon
Dioxide as the line warms, or the catastrophic
failure of the line as the liquid warms behind the
plug. Sufficient vapor pressure must be applied and
maintained behind the liquid before opening a
discharge valve. This action will prevent the
depressurization of the liquid to the point of solid
formation before it exits the line.
|
|
Use adequate
ventilation. |
|
Avoid inhalation.
|
|
Never work on a
pressurized system. |
|
If there is a leak,
close the upstream valve, blow down the system by
venting to a safe place, then repair the leak.
|
|
|
Storage requirements:
|
|
Use storage
containers, piping, valves and fittings designed for
storage and distribution of Liquefied Carbon Dioxide
and vaporized (Gaseous) Carbon Dioxide. |
