i R.oFFi c e MEMO TENNECO CHEMICALS, INC. To From Subject J. T. Sweeney At Flemington date September 23, 1975 W. C. Champion at Flemington cofy to VCM Exposure Data - Flemington Plant Bendix Monitoring System Period: September 13, 1975 to September 19, 1975 W. D. Bord D. M. Hershkowitz P. A. Lobo R. A. Lojewski ICMiringoff F. X. Ritter M. K. Rosen G. X. Rozand F. Toca Attached are area summaries, summaries of excursions above 1, 5, 25 and 100 ppm VCM and a listing of all excursions observed at or above 100 ppm VCM. Monitoring points RE#9 & #20 remained in special service during this report period. The plant was in operation seven days for this report period running at about 91% utilization. The following summaries are taken from a tabulation of 25% of the data or one set of readings per hour. The Reactor Building showed 390 readings > 1 PPM, 10 excursions,> 25 ppm and no readings > 100 ppm. The Pilot Plant showed 325 readings ^ 1 ppm and no excursions > 25 ppm. The General Area showed 135 readings > 1 ppm, 13 excursions > 25 ppm and 3 readings > 100 ppm. The Lift Station showed 83 readings > 1 ppm, 1 excursion > 25 ppm and no readings > 100 ppm. The Parshall Flume showed 12 readings ? 1 ppm and no excursions > 25 ppm. All readings greater than or equal to 100 ppm are tabulated in Table IV. Seven readings at or above 100 ppm occurred during this report period reflecting seven separate incidents. One incident occurred in the Reactor Building affecting stripper #2 platform. One incident occurred in the Pilot Plant at "F" reactor. The remaining five incidents occurred in the General Area affecting the VCM pumps in the tank farm and the tank car unloading area.
