FOREWORD
Chemicals are found everywhere. They purify drinking water, increase crop production and
facilitate production of fabrics, steel, papers, plastic, food products and several other items of every
day consumption. However chemicals can be hazardous to human or the environment, if used or
released improperly. Hazards can occur during production, storage, transportation, use or disposal of
chemicals.
The human life and property is at risk if a chemical is used unsafely or released in harmful
amount into the environment where we live, work or play. Hazardous materials in various forms can
cause death, serious injury, long lasting health effects and damage to buildings, homes and industry.
Hazardous materials come in the form of explosives, flammable and combustible substances,
hazardous compressed gases, poisonous and radioactive materials.
Compressed gases can often be more dangerous than chemicals in liquid or gaseous form
because of the potential source of high energy. Unless cylinders are secured they may topple over,
cause injury to operators, become damaged themselves and may cause contents to leak.
If the regulator shears off, the cylinder may rock like a projectile or ‘torpedo’ dangerously around
the workplace. Cylinders may fail if over-pressurized or weakened by the application of heat.
Precautions also have to be instituted to protect against the inherent properties of the cylinder contents
e.g. toxic, corrosive, and flammable.
There have been several incidents of explosions during handling and transportation of
compressed gases in the country. As such the Ministerial Working Group of Ministry of Industries and
Production decided to develop Guidelines for the storage, handling and transportation of the most
hazardous and widely used compressed gases like Chlorine and Ammonia.
Accordingly the Guidelines/SOPs on the storage, handling and transportation of chlorine and
ammonia have been developed. It is hoped that the initiative would facilitate the industrial workers,
operators, planners, academic, general public etc etc in overcoming the hazards associated with
chlorine and ammonia.
Simultaneously the Ministry of Industries and Production has notified Mineral and Industrial
Gas Safety Rules-2010 under which 3rd Party Periodic Testing Stations, for the Periodic Testing of
compressed gas cylinders/vessels and industrial installations; are being designated. These would be
facilitated through Department of Explosives and would further streamline disaster resilient sustainable
industrial and economic development in the country. The role of National Disaster Management Authority
(NDMA) in connection with capacity building, improvement in regulatory framework and facilitation in
development of Guidelines/SOPs in respect of hazardous substances (Compressed gases), would be
instrumental in reducing Disaster Risks and is note worthy.

As the illustration of the chlorine atom above demonstrates, the orbit closest to the chlorine
nucleus holds no more than two electrons, and the next two orbits can hold a total of eight
electrons each. Importantly, the most stable electron arrangement of any orbit is a full
orbit. With seven electrons in its outer orbit, chlorine can be thought of as desperately
seeking one more electron to achieve stability. As the drawing shows, the eighth space is
vacant and available for immediate occupancy. Because it is so “anxious” to pull another
electron into its orbit, chlorine is an extremely reactive element.

It is a very unique chemical, as it is used in a wide range of applications – from rocket fuels to food
products. Since 1950, the largest use for Chlorine was the manufacture of ethylene oxide and glycol
(antifreeze fluids).
Once the chlorine stream is cooled and dried, compressors and refrigeration machines are used to
liquefy the gas. Chlorine is most easily handled as a liquid in specially designed
pressure containers.

Guidelines for Handling, Storage and Transportation of Hazardous Substances (Chlorine and Ammonia Gases)
In the presence of moisture, both gaseous and liquid chlorine are extremely corrosive
to common metals of construction. At low pressures, wet chlorine can be handled in
equipment made of glass, chemical stoneware, titanium, and certain plastics.
Dry chlorine has an extremely high affinity for moisture. Regardless of the environmental
conditions of temperature and humidity, all open ends of chlorine pipelines should be
sealed with rubber stoppers or some type of moisture-tight closure when not in use.
3.2 Uses
Bleaching textiles with chlorine is one of its major uses. Its
disinfecting properties remain vital to public health as chlorine
is used extensively in water purification systems.
Today, much of the chlorine is used as a raw material in the
production of polyvinyl chloride, a plastic used in fabricating
flooring, pipe, wallpaper, clothing, furniture, and a wide
range of household products. Various complex drugs and
spray crops with insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides
contain chlorine as part of their basic structure. Chlorinated
chemicals are used to refrigerate and freeze food, cool
homes, offices and cars, and even insulate buildings from
the heat and cold.

Guidelines for Handling, Storage and Transportation of Hazardous Substances (Chlorine and Ammonia Gases)
• Exposure to high concentration results in vomiting which may follow difficulty in breathing.
• Because of its pungent smell chlorine in air can readily be detected even in traces. (3-5
PPM)
• Chlorine leakage can be located by bringing soaked cloth / cotton rags in ammonia solution
near the suspected point, dense white fumes indicate the point of leakage.
• Chlorine is 2.5 times heavier than air, therefore it is settled on ground level quickly and can
gather in cavities and low spots.
1. Store cylinders of liquid chlorine in a cool place away from steam pipes or other
sources of heat.
2. Store cylinders, full or empty, with their valve outlet caps and valve protective caps
in place.
3. Store all cylinders of liquid chlorine in a location which is protected from direct
sunlight and from dampness.
4. Do not store cylinders where it is possible for leaking vapors to enter a ventilating
system.

others, artificial ventilation, such as forced air through a system of ducts, must be provided.
5.2 Eye Wash Fountains
Readily accessible eye wash fountains and showers must be provided
in strategic locations wherever chlorine is used. Personnel should test
equipment each day before beginning work to ensure adequate water
flow.
5.3 Emergency Respiratory Protection
Severe exposure to chlorine may occur wherever chlorine is handled
or used. Therefore, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA),
approved for emergency chlorine use, should be located strategically
outside chlorine work areas near entrances and away from
contamination.
Such equipment shall have a rating of at least 30 minutes use, and Fig 8. Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus
be equipped with a low pressure warning bell. Any person entering a
chlorine emergency area must be protected by this respiratory protective
equipment.
5.4 First Aid

NIOSH-REL
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has established a
recommended exposure limit (REL) for chlorine of 0.5 ppm 1.5 mg / m3) as a TWA for up
to a 10-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek and a short-term exposure limit (STEL)
of 1 ppm (3 mg / m3) [Source OSH Guidelines US Department of Labor].

1. Introduction
Anhydrous ammonia has the potential to be one of the most dangerous chemicals usedin the
industry now a day. Its formula is NH3, which means that it consists of one atom of nitrogen and
three atoms of hydrogen per molecule. Because the atomic weights of nitrogen and hydrogen
are not the same, the weight ratio is 82.5 percent nitrogen and 17.5 percent hydrogen.
Anhydrous means the ammonia is without water. The major producers of Ammonia are fertilizer
manufacturing factories in the country.
2. Production Process of Ammonia
Ammonia production facilities provide the base anhydrous liquid ammonia usedpredominantly
in fertilizers supplying usable nitrogen for agricultural productivity. Ammonia is one of the most
abundantly-produced inorganic chemicals in the country.
A typical modern ammonia-producing plant first converts natural gas (i.e., methane) into
gaseous Hydrogen. The method for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbon is referred to ‘steam
reforming’. The hydrogen is then combined with nitrogen to produce ammonia. Catalytic steam
reforming of the sulfur-free methane (CH4) feedstock is used to form carbon monoxide (CO)
plus hydrogen (H2)::
CH4 + H2O → CO + 3H2
The next step then uses catalytic shift conversion to convert the carbon monoxide to carbon
dioxide (CO2) and more hydrogen:
CO + H2O → CO2 + H2
The carbon dioxide is then removed either by absorption in aqueous ethanolamine solutions or
by adsorption in pressure swing absorbers (PSA) using proprietary solid adsorption media. To
produce ammonia, the hydrogen is then catalytically reacted with nitrogen (N2) derived from
process air to form anhydrous liquid ammonia (NH3).
3H2 + N2 → 2NH3
3. Chemical and Physical Properties of Ammonia
Anhydrous ammonia is a colorless non-flammable liquefied gas. Its vapor is lighter than air and
has the same pungent odor as household ammonia. Although ammonia vapor is lighter than
air, the vapors from a leak may hug the ground appearing as a white cloud.
The definition of anhydrous is ‘without water’. Whereas household ammonia is 95% water,
anhydrous ammonia has no water. Ammonia is so hygroscopic (water loving) that one cubic
foot of water will dissolve 1300 cubic feet of ammonia vapor making water the primary weapon
for first responders. When ammonia reacts with water the base ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH)
will form.
Ammonia weights 5.15 pounds per gallon in contrast to water which weighs 8.33 pounds per
gallon. Since ammonia is very soluble in water there will be no layering effect when liquid
ammonia is spilled into a surface water body
Ammonia is a nonflammable gas and will corrode galvanized metals, cast iron, copper, brass or
copper alloys. All ammonia piping, valves, tanks and fittings are constructed of steel.

Guidelines for Handling, Storage and Transportation of Hazardous Substances (Chlorine and Ammonia Gases)
Liquid ammonia boils at any temperature greater than -28°F and will expand to 850 times its
liquid volume. One gallon of liquid will expand to 850 gallons or 113 cubic feet of gas.
Anhydrous ammonia is a clear, colorless gas at standard temperature and pressure conditions
and has a very strong odor, which is a leading safety feature of the product where personnel can
detect NH3 long before it becomes a health hazard. The odor threshold (lowest level detected
by smell) is approximately 7 parts per million (PPM). [Source: Primeland Cooperatives] OSHA
has determined that a concentration of more than 5000 parts per million will disable a person
so that escape is impossible and suffocation results.
4. Uses of Ammonia
The largest use of ammonia is in fertilizers, which are applied to the soil and help provide
increased yields of crops such as corn, wheat, and soybeans.
Liquid ammonia, ammonia/water solutions, and chemicals made from ammonia, such as
ammonium salts and urea, are all used as sources of soluble nitrogen.
Two types of polymers needed for artificial fibers require the use of ammonia, polyamides
(nylon) and acrylics (orlon). The original polyamide named nylon, brought out by DuPont
Chemical Co., was made from two components, adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. The
nitrogen in the second named component is derived from ammonia.
Acrylics are made from a three-carbon nitrogen compound, acrylonitrile. Acrylonitrile comes
from the reaction of propene, ammonia, and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst.
Because of its basic properties, ammonia is able to react with acidic gases such as nitrogen
oxides and sulfur oxides to form ammonium salts. Thus ammonia is useful in scrubbers that
remove acidic gases before they can be released into the environment.
5. Guidelines for handling of Ammonia
5.1 Human Exposure
Anhydrous ammonia is a strong alkali that can cause severe burns, and its gas can
cause severe irritation of the outer tissues of the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Because
of its low boiling point, anhydrous ammonia can cause severe burns by freezing action
as well as by caustic action.
Ammonia is detectible by the nose at low concentrations. At large concentrations,
ammonia vapor can produce convulsions, coughing, and difficult and painful breathing.
Injury is almost certain if concentrations reach 2,000 to 3,000 ppm. Prolonged inhalation
of anhydrous ammonia can cause death by suffocation. For example, a single inhalation
may be fatal if it clamps down the vocal cords (a reflex action which sometimes occurs
as a result of breathing a violent irritant).
5.2 Eyes
Anhydrous ammonia reacts most actively with moist, exposed areas of the human body.
Injury to the eyes is the most serious hazard of ammonia. If washed immediately with
water, the damage may only be temporary or none at all. Those victims unable to wash
their eyes may suffer permanent injury and blindness.
Never wear contact lenses if the possibility of exposure exists. Anhydrous ammonia
may get behind the contact lens and cause permanent damage to the eyes before the
contact lens are removed and eyes washed out.
5.3 Skin
Ammonia is caustic to the skin. Skin burns and blisters may develop from exposure to a
2 percent ammonia solution for 15 minutes or longer. Liquid anhydrous ammonia auses
14 Part - II
Guidelines for Handling, Storage and Transportation of Hazardous Substances (Chlorine and Ammonia Gases)
not only chemical burns but, because of the low temperature, causes the water in the
skin to freeze and rupture the cells as it expands. These wounds can be deep and slow
healing.
In cases of severe exposure, follow with first aid treatment, and call a doctor immediately.
Give the doctor as much information as possible about the extent of exposure.

Escaping ammonia can be detected by ammonia sensors. Ammonia sensors are used
in various locations in ammonia plants (e.g. on the compressor platform,in the synthesis
area and in the refrigeration section). However, they can also be placed in loading and
tank areas, and around an ammonia pipeline where they can prove a useful tool for the
detection of a leak from a pipeline. There are basically three commonly used types of
ammonia sensors.
i. Electrochemical type
ii. Solid state type
iii. Infrared type
This system detects spontaneous changes in the mass balance of the liquid ammonia
pipeline system. Upon a leak, the mass balance system usually first gives an alarm.
Specific instructions are provided for response to the alarm. When no operator action
follows in a pre-determined period (e.g. 10 minutes), some systems automatically close
the isolation valves in the affected part of the pipeline system or in the entire pipeline
system.
9.3 Leak Detection of Ammonia based on Level Indication System
This system is suitable where a small capacity (typically 100 m3) ammonia buffer vessel
is present between the producing and consuming plants. Upon a leak from a connected
pipeline, this system identifies a fast level drop in the liquid ammonia buffer vessel(s).
