8. Protective Equipment
Engineering controls A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below
the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can
control the emissions of the contaminant at its
source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area.
Respiratory Protection Respiratory protection should be worn when there is
a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements
or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory
protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory
irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or
where indicated by your risk assessment process.
For most conditions, no respiratory protection should
be needed; however, if material is heated or sprayed,
use an approved air-purifying respirator. The
following should be effective types of air-purifying
respirators: Organic vapor cartridge with a
particulate pre-filter.
Eye Protection Use safety glasses (with side shields).
Hand Protection PVC gloves, chemical resistant gloves or nitrile
gloves.

Mariveles, Bataan
The proposed plant location for the production of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) is in
Mariveles Bataan, where most of the existing industrial establishments of Bataan is located. The
plant site is situated near a port (Freeport Area of Bataan) which is considered to be the center of
trade in the Philippines. It also gives a strategic point for the transportation of both the raw
materials and product into and out of the plant. Aside from port, the plant is near industrial
facilities like a power plant (Mariveles Power Plant) which can provide a power supply to the
plant. Other facilities near the plant site includes a refinery, dam and water treatment facility
which will all be beneficial to the plant. A plastic plant is also located at the vicinity of Mariveles
which can be considered as the major consumer of the plant. Aside from that, industrial parks in
Hermosa, Bataan and Limay, Bataan can also open to possible collaborations and partnerships
which can increase the economic capability of both the plant and the MEG industry.
o Evaporator
Temperature, production and vacuum are controlled by regulating
the system valves. To control these parameters, a closed loop control is
needed which can be obtained by a controller. Proportional-Integral-
Derivative (PID) control, feed forward controller and internal model
controller are some of the algorithms that may use to attain the desired
conditions.
o Vacuum Distillation
To provide vacuum control, place a throttling valve between the
column and the vacuum source, introduce an external load into the suction
line to the vacuum source, or recycle from the discharge of the vacuum
source to the suction side.
Maintenance
o Maintenance will be conducted every month for all the equipment to
prevent machine failure.
Utilities
o Water and electricity are the utilities used in manufacturing Monoethylene
glycol.
Storage
o Ethylene Oxide
Ethylene oxide must be stored in approved pressure vessels in a cool, well
ventilated area or in properly designed storage systems. Sprinkler systems in
storage areas are highly desirable for fire control and to cool containers exposed
to intense heat from fires.
Materials Handling
Before handling, it is important that all engineering controls are operating
and that protective equipment requirements and personal hygiene measures are
being followed. Prevent uncontrolled release of product. Eliminate heat and
ignition sources such as sparks, open flames, hot surfaces and static discharge.
Post "No Smoking" signs. Immediately report leaks, spills or failures of the safety
equipment (e.g. ventilation system). Do not use at elevated temperatures without a
thorough safety assessment. Prevent accidental contact with incompatible
chemicals. Use non-sparking ventilation systems, approved explosion-proof
equipment and intrinsically safe electrical systems. Do not weld, cut or perform
hot work on empty container until all traces of product have been removed. Use
the pressure regulator appropriate for cylinder pressure and contents. Secure
cylinder in an up-right position. Protect cylinders from damage. Use a suitable
hand truck to move cylinders; do not drag, roll, slide, or drop
