subject Relocation of Laboratory VCM Vents
Attached is a revised process design to route two laboratory VCM vents to the existing VCM vent header system in the tank farm area. This design is being Issued as final unless further comments are received.
The laboratory currently vents excess VCM liquid collected in sample bombs through a short vent pipe located on the roof of the lab. VCM vapor from the GC sampling system is also periodically vented through the north wall. The vented VCM vapors pose two potential hazards:
1) The fumes can enter the control room due to the proximity of the . lab vent to the control room air intake.
2) The vapors could be dangerous to personnel in the area during venting before the vapors have dispersed.
To control these hazards the vents will be routed to the existing sample vent header in the tank farm area. This header presently runs to the temporary vent on top of the T-411C sphere. As this vent is 85 feet high the VCM will be dis persed more effectively and the exposure hazards will be reduced. When the re frigerated rail car vent recovery system is completed, the VCM sample vent header will be tied in with this system.
This design includes some minor revisions to the existing laboratory venting appa ratus. These revisions are necessary to prevent non-VCM contaminants from entering the vent system and to insure that no excessive pressure buildup occurs in the vent line.
An important addition to this design would be to return excess VCM liquid to the process via the recirculating sample loops while taking the next sample. This would require purchase of additional sample bombs so that each sample bomb would be assigned to a specific sample type. This procedure would reduce VCM emissions by limiting the use of the lab VCM bomb purging system.

DISCUSSION LABORATORY VCM VENT
A. laboratory Hood Apparatus Modifications (Figure 1) The steam and vacuum lines are to be disconnected from the VCM venting manifold and sealed. A separate steam system to clean one bomb at a time should be built complete with tubing connections and a holder. After the vacuum line to the venting manifold is disconnected the present vacuum system will still permit evacu ation of one bomb at a time. A pressure gauge and valve will be added. The gauge will be used to determine the manifold back-pressure and the valve used to throttle the flow to the vent. The operating procedure for use of this apparatus are describe on Figure 4 and 5.
B. Laboratory GC Sampling System Changes (Figure 2) The GC sampling system vent will require new stainless steel tubing and a check valve as shown. The tie-in to the vent line.is also shown.
C. Vent line (Figure 3) The laboratory VCM vent is to be routed to the pipe rack on the north side of the building. The GC sampling system vent should be tied in at this point. The line is then routed as shown to an existing valved connection on the VCM sampling system vent header. The first 50 feet of the pipe from the lab should be steam traced to vaporize any VCM liquid. Low points in the line should also be steam traced to vaporize any liquid that may become trapped at these low points in the line.

1) Prior to operation check the backpressure. Gauge should read 2ero.
2) Connect the sample bombs to the lower fittings of the VCM vent apparatus.
3) Check that the vent valve is open and the drain valve is closed.
4) Close the hood except for a gap to be able to manipulate the nitrogen throttle | valve, lower VCM vent valves, and the vent valve.
"5) "Open one of the lower VCM vent valves and the corresponding lower sample bomb valve.
! s : : ........-- i 6) Open the nitrogen supply and throttle valves.1
7) If necessary throttle the vent valve so that the backpressure_never_exceeds 75 psi
8) After the backpressure gauge drops back to zero vent another sample bomb.
9) Repeat steps 5 through 8 until all the connected sample'bombs are vented.
10) When all the bombs are vented, turn off the nitrogen throttle valve.
11) When the backpressure gauge reads zero and all the frost has disappeared from the lines, close all the lower VCM vent valves and the lower sample bomb valves.
12) Open the hood and disconnect the bombs.

PROCEDURE FOR STEAMING A SAMPLE BOMB
i
1} Close the dry steam valve and open the steam supply valve and condensate valve.
-2}- When the line is cleared of condensate turn off the condensate and supply valves.
3) Connect the sample bomb as shown or if it does not fit into the holder connect
with tubing leads.
,
4) Open both valves on the sample bomb and the dry steam valve.
5) Close the hood.
jj
6) Open the supply and steam out the sample bomb. t ' ;* i
7) Close the supply valve. '______
