Anhydrous Ammonia Tank Release: Worst Case Scenario

by CoolCast Team on Apr.05, 2013, under News

An anhydrous ammonia tank hose broke and sprayed all over a field in Faribault, MN.  Approximately 1000 Gallon Nurse Tank.

When someone tells you that ammonia vapor is lighter than air and will rise… this is true; however, when the release involves LIQUID AMMONIA or even in an aerosol state this is what Anhydrous Ammonia will act like when released

CHEMNEP

by CoolCast Team on Dec.01, 2011, under News

Attention!!!!!!!!

CHEMNEP Nation Wide

Click to read directive: CPL 03-00-014

Effective Date: Nov 29, 2011

PSM Covered Chemical Facilities National Emphasis Program

GCAP has just finished rewriting their PSM (Process Safety Management) and NEP (National Emphasis Program) courses.

PSM – Most PSM courses rely on the IIAR’s excellent “Guide to the Implementation of Process Safety Management for Ammonia Refrigeration” first published in 1994, the subsequent “Process Safety Management Guidelines” in 1998 and its companion “Risk Management Guidelines.” While GCAP believes these books provided an excellent resource for their time, PSM implementation has continued to evolve rapidly in the years since they were published and they no longer reflect the “state of the art”. The new PSM course offered exclusively by GCAP is a re-envisioning of Process Safety Management implementation based on the experiences of the Ammonia refrigeration industry over the past 15+ years, the guidance from the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), the NEP guidance from OSHA and the over 8,000 pages of OSHA citations GCAP has amassed from Freedom of Information requests.

NEP – OSHA’s National Emphasis Program for Chemical Facilities evolved in part from the consistent deficiencies found in OSHA’s PSM NEP on refineries. After a 2 year pilot program in 3 regions, OSHA has now rolled out their Chemical NEP inspections nation-wide targeting Ammonia Refrigeration Systems. In anticipation of this massive change in PSM implementation compliance auditing, GCAP designed this course around the lessons learned in the pilot program. Currently, GCAP is the only training organisation in the world offering a 40-hours course specifically on how to implement PSM to the modern requirements under the NEP compliance initiatives.

GCAP will release an audio podcast within the next few days.
