Hydrogen Peroxide Spill
On July 21 st we got deployed for a complete Act 165 spill response team for a Hydrogen Peroxide spill in an industrial plant. Upon arrival found that four fifty-five gallon drums were apparently venting Hydrogen Perixide gas and spewing liquid from out of the bungs. After safety zones were established and decontamination was set up, technicians suited in level “B” PPE with SCBA to make entry into factory.
Decision was made to remove remaining bungs to release pressure and then to move drums to containment area inside plant.
Absorbent was placed on area that was saturated with liquid to absorb liquid and to reduce vapors.
