BLOCK #1

O-Xylene Unloading and Storing

Area Classification:
 From Ortho-xylene tanker to O-xylene unloading pumps G-503 A/B
 From O-xylene unloading pumps G-503 A/B to T-503
 T-503 Nitrogen Breathing System (PSVS)

The main hazards of the unit:

 when o-xylene is released, personnel may be poisoned;
 in the event of a fire in the unit with the subsequent explosion of o-xylene, damage to pipelines,
equipment and structures is possible, poisoning, injury and thermal burns of personnel are possible.
 Maximum possible discharge: o-xylene kg
 MPC in the air of the working area:- o-xylene 50 mg / m3.
