Storage requirement:
Bulk Storage in Steel Tanks licenced under SMPV Rules Filled in steel tonners or cylinders for shipment.
Engineering Controls
Adequate ventilation. Spare tank for emergency transfer Dike wall, emergency scrubber etc.
Leak, spill handling
If the leak in piping, shut off the Chlorine supply. If the leak is from cylinders, position the cylinder so that leak will be in gaseous phase. Contain Liquid spills. Do not pour water on leak containers.
Waste disposal
Nuetralise the waste Chlorine or spills with alkaline solutions such as Caustic Soda, Soda ash or slaked lime etc.
