3.2.4.5 Disconnecting
A noticeable drop in tank car pressure
usually indicates that the tank car is empty.
It is desirable to discharge as much of the
residual chlorine as possible to the process.
Chlorine lines should be purged with dry air
or nonreactive gas to an absorption system
or vented to a vacuum system before
disconnecting.
After the transfer lines have been
disconnected, the valve outlet plugs should
be installed immediately. This is essential to
prevent corrosion of the threads by
atmospheric moisture. After checking for
leaks the protective housing cover must be
closed. After unloading, the DOT placards
must indicate the car last contained
chlorine. The open end of the chlorine
transfer lines should also be protected from
atmospheric moisture with suitable closures.
