Description
APPARATUS TO CONTAIN AND SUPPLY SAFELY
DANGEROUS FLUID SUBSTANCES FROM AT LEAST TWO
PROVISION CYLINDERS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
In general terms, the present invention relates to the field of containment systems and supply of gases and chemical liquids. More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for safely secondarily containing at least two supply cylinders containing a hazardous fluid substance, and supplying the hazardous fluid substance, eg, chlorine gas, from the supply cylinders. , either simultaneously or sequentially, to a receiving structure or system, for example to one or more distribution cylinders or to a chlorine gas treatment system in accordance with governmental regulations. These regulations specifically include the order "Toxic Gas Ordinance" No. 23450, chapter 17.78 of the "San José Municipal Code", and the "Uniform Fire Code", article 20, "Hazardous Materials". The apparatus includes a high pressure containment vessel for securely receiving and enclosing a plurality of supply cylinders, preferably two supply cylinders, each having a discharge valve and containing a hazardous fluid substance at a pressure above the ambient pressure. . The containment vessel contains a cylinder support structure for holding at least the two supply cylinders on support rollers, so that the supply cylinders can be rolled in and out of the containment vessel. A flexible line or rigid high-pressure pipe fittings extend from each supply cylinder discharge valve to one of two automatic gas detection valve assemblies mounted in a container port in the container wall for the supply cylinder specific. A gas detection valve assembly is provided on each discharge valve that automatically closes the gas flow through the given container port when a gas leak is detected outside the containment vessel. Chlorine gas passes through each valve assembly and into a receiving structure or system, such as a gas manifold having coupling ports to which one or more distribution cylinders, also known as service cylinders, are removably connected. . A support valve is also provided in series with each automatic gas detection valve assembly. Each gas detection valve assembly has an infallible closure design and the support valve is equipped with Hastaloy ™ "C" ball valves operated with quick return lever. The detection and support valves have reduced orifice controllers. A containment container support structure having a container pivot assembly is provided so that the container can be tilted backward, causing the liquid chlorine within the contained cylinders to flow towards the bottom of the cylinders and away from the cylinders. the cylinder discharge valves. The cylinders are loaded into the container while the container is horizontal, but they have to be oriented at an angle, preferably at 45 degrees, to drain gas instead of liquid. The containment container has a spring loaded container cover, driven by cap springs to an open position to assist in opening the container lid when the container is tilted backward, and door sealing means are provided. To meet the requirements of secondary containment, the gas manifold is enclosed within an exhaust enclosure connected to a gas purification unit. The depuration unit is substantially smaller than the scrubbers typically used in the industry, because most of the gas is automatically sealed within the supply cylinders by the detection valve assembly and into any distribution cylinder by a controller. Reduced orifice flow in manifold coupling ports. If one or both of the supply cylinders is leaking, the gas they contain can be released into the purification unit at a very low speed, and alternatively can be released into at least one gas cylinder instead of being purified and consumed. The supply process is inventively passive, so that the dependence on electrical energy for safe containment and flow is eliminated. The procedure includes the steps of placing two supply cylinders in a containment container; and connecting the discharge valves of the supply cylinder to respective pipe means which extend through fluid substance detection valve assemblies in the vessel wall. Optional additional steps include the supply of the fluid substance from the gas detection valve assemblies to a gas manifold; and supply the gas from the collector to a distribution cylinder. The fluid substance contained within the supply container and gas collector is maintained at room temperature so that the gas pressure is at a minimum for safe retention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
For a long time there have been supply and transfer systems for delivering hazardous fluid substances from a supply cylinder, which is typically a one-ton cylinder, to a receiving structure or system, such as a distribution cylinder, which is typically a cylinder. of 6.79 kg or 9.06 kg. Government environmental and safety regulations have required that the supply or transfer take place within secondary containment. This has been done in the chlorine industry in several ways. One way has been to make the transfer in a room filled with massive and very expensive scrubbing equipment, so that if a leak develops, all the gas in the supply cylinder can be quickly cleaned from the air. This procedure makes it necessary to interrupt the operation in the room for one or more days, and also causes loss of all the chlorine in the supply cylinder, these two consequences being very expensive besides the cost of the purification equipment. If the leak occurred during a power outage, particularly during a natural disaster, the purification equipment would not work, so the dangerous chlorine gas would escape into the neighborhood and into nearby ecosystems. Another way to transfer chlorine gas has been using what is known as a "coffin", which is essentially an ordinary metal sheet booth. The supply cylinder and the distribution cylinder are both placed inside the coffin. The coffin has a discharge opening towards a powerful suction and purification assembly. In case of leakage of the supply cylinder, the scrubber assembly must be activated immediately to quickly remove all escaping gas that includes all the contents of the supply cylinder. The coffin would not contain the gas in case a power failure turned off the debugger. In this way, the problems of the depuration room are substantially present in the casket and debugger containment system. The containment constructions and the bells are not able to withstand the pressure and corrosive nature of the suddenly released amounts of chlorine gas. Another much improved form, invented by the present applicants, involves the secondary containment of a supply cylinder inside a high pressure vessel, and gradual extraction of the chlorine gas it contains. In the event of catastrophic failure of the supply cylinder, the secondary containment vessel holds the gas indefinitely and safely until it can be drained in safe containers or until it can be cleaned. See Caparros, patent of E.U.A. No. 5,607,384, issued March 4, 1997, and the patent of E.U.A. No. 5,819,787, issued on October 13, 1998, the content of which is incorporated by reference. A problem with this approach has been that only one cylinder of supply can be contained and drained at the same time for each containment container. Other prior references include Van Valkenburgh et al., U.S. Patent. No. 5,511, 908, issued April 30, 1996, and Payne et al., Patent of E.U.A. No. 5,735,639, issued April 7, 1998, describing mobile structures that provide a form of secondary containment of hazardous gases contained in cylinders within mobile structures. These mobile structures are very bulky, and do not provide evacuation driven by storage pressure of the leaked gas to another primary container. Cartwright et al., U.S. Patent. No. 6,006,588, issued December 28, 1999, and McGouran Jr., patent of E.U.A. No. 4,911, 326, issued March 27, 1990, teach secondary containment boxes with removable side walls to receive primary packages of toxic gas. Gas escaping from the primary packages is confined within interstitial spaces between the primary container and the surrounding secondary containment box for subsequent release to a detoxification system (Cartwright) or the secondary containment box simply "cleans" (McGouran Jr., column 4, row 13). Karwacki et al., Patent of E.U.A. No. 5,569,151, issued on October 29, 1996, discloses a system of secondary purification and containment. Instead of providing a closed high pressure secondary enclosing container, Kawacki et al. Describe a secondary container that is "sufficiently large to contain all the contents of the inner container" and also contains means for absorbing and purging leaked gas. The Karwacki and others device seems cumbersome and may contain only one supply cylinder at a time. Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a hazardous fluid substance supply system that provides the safe secondary containment required by law for multiple supply cylinders for containment with greater economy. Another object of the present invention is to provide such a compact system and requiring minimum interruption time in the event of a leakage of fluid substance. Another object of the present invention is to provide such a system that safely holds any of the fluid substance leaks from one or more of the supply cylinders secondarily contained that has not reached the receiving structure or system, for gradual discharge to gas cylinders or towards a debugging unit. Another object of the present invention is to provide such a system that can discharge gaseous substances at a low, controlled rate, and thus require only a small, low capacity and inexpensive debugging assembly. Another object of the present invention is to provide such a system that safely contains secondarily the most fluid substance leaking in a containment vessel in case of power failure, for example during a natural disaster. Another object of the present invention is to provide such containment container that is mounted to tilt backward so that the supply cylinders are partially vertical, causing the liquid chlorine within the contained cylinders to flow towards the bottom of the cylinders and in Removal of cylinder discharge valves. Another object of the present invention is to provide such a system that automatically stops the flow of fluid substance from the containment vessel with a valve operated by a fluid substance detection mechanism. Finally, another object of the present invention is to provide such a system that supplies or transfers a fluid substance by low pressure passive means and that is compact and economical in terms of construction and operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES
As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are described herein; however, it is understood that the described embodiments are only exemplary of the invention that can be performed in various ways. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details described herein are not to be construed as limiting but only as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching the person skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention, in virtually any structure appropriately detailed. Reference is now made to the drawings, wherein similar features and features of the present invention shown in the different figures are designated with the same reference numerals.
Preferred Modes Referring to Figures 1-6, an apparatus 10 is described for safely supplying a toxic, or otherwise dangerous, fluid substance such as ammonia, sulfur dioxide or chlorine, in gaseous or liquid form, from at least two supply cylinders 12, each having a discharge valve 16, up to a distribution or process cylinder system 14. The word "fluid" in this application is understood to refer to gaseous and liquid states. The transfer of chlorine gas is an example followed throughout this description, which is illustrative of the use of the apparatus 10, but which in no way should be considered as limiting. The apparatus 10 includes a high pressure capacity containment container 20 for securely receiving and enclosing a first and a second supply cylinder 12. Container container 20 includes an integral cylindrical side and end wall 26 and a container lid 32 mounted on lid hinges 36. When the container lid 32 is closed, it is secured and sealed to the flange 26a of the container wall 26 by bolt cover flanges 32a 34. See Figure 4. A containment container support structure having an assembly is provided. of container pivot so that the container can be tilted backward, preferably at 45 degrees, causing the liquid chlorine within the contained cylinders to flow to the bottom of the cylinders and away from the cylinder discharge valves 16. The cylinders 12 are loaded into the container 20 while the container 20 is horizontal, but they have to be oriented at an angle, as at 45 degrees, to drain chlorine gas instead of liquid. The container support structure 50 includes a support frame 52 having side bars 54 parallel and laterally spaced apart. See Figure 1. One of the frame side bars 54 in Figure 1 is located against the far side of the container 20 and therefore is not visible in this illustration. Container bolts 56 are welded to the side wall of the container 20 and extend through pivot bearings 58 bolted onto the upper surfaces of the frame side bars 54. A pair of lid impulse springs 38 urge the lid 32 to an open position to assist in opening the lid 32 of the container when the container 20 is tilted back 45 degrees, and door sealing means are provided. The container support structure 50 also preferably includes three electronic scales 50a of weight measurement, one below each of three of the four contact points P of the floor of the container support structure 50. The total weight of the apparatus 10 is measured when it contains the first and second cylinders 12 empty, and when it contains the filled cylinders 12, to provide a convenient way to determine when the cylinders 12 being drained are finally empty. A provision cylinder support structure 40 is provided within the containment container 20, and includes at least two parallel and longitudinally oriented cylinder support rails 41 mounted on a lower side cross plate 44, welded at each end to the wall 26 of container. A series of rollers 42 are mounted on roller shafts 42c that pass through support walls 42a within the container 20 to hold and allow each supply cylinder 12 to roll into the container 20. Each cylinder support roll 42 preferably has two support points or roller assemblies 42, and lower wall 42b of interconnecting channel. A vertical plate 46 extends upwardly from the center of the lower cross plate 44 to separate the first and second supply cylinders 12 from each other, and an upper lateral cross plate 48 extends horizontally from the upper ends of the vertical plate 46, so that the lower side cross plate 44, the vertical plate 46 and the upper side cross plate 48 define a mixed I bar configuration. See Figures 1 and 3 for the preferred roller and rail designs. Two flexible high-pressure lines 22 extend from the discharge valves 16 onto respective supply cylinders 12 to corresponding container ports 24 in the container wall 26, in each of which a valve detection assembly 30 is mounted. gas. Optionally rigid tubing and pipe fittings are provided in place of the flexible lines 22, but are not preferred. The gas detection valve assemblies 30 automatically shut off gas flow through their corresponding port 24 when a gas leak is detected outside the containment vessel 20. The chlorine gas passes from its corresponding first or second supply cylinder 12 through a valve assembly 30 to a gas manifold 70 having coupling ports 72 to which a process system, or one or more cylinders, is removably connected. 14 distribution. In this application it is understood that the manifold 70 includes the pipe extending from the manifold. See figures 5 and 5a. Also provided is a manually operated support valve 68 on each valve assembly 30 for use in the event of a malfunction of the sensing valve assembly 30. The detection valve assembly 30 has an infallible closure design. The detection and support valves, 30 and 68 respectively, and all adapters 74 have reduced orifice controllers to measure gas discharge. These reduced orifice controllers 66 allow a very low release rate of gaseous or liquid chlorine, so that a smaller filter unit 80 is suitable in case of an accident. This reduced flow greatly reduces the discharge magnitudes in the case. A pressure-vacuum gauge 76 is provided on the containment container 20 to indicate an operator when each supply cylinder 2 has been completely evacuated. The gas manifold 70 is enclosed within an exhaust enclosure 76 having an internal volume sufficient to retain the certain amount of gas contained within the collector 70 substantially at room temperature. The enclosure 76 is connected to a gas cleaning unit 80 of sufficient capacity to safely and efficiently purify this certain amount of gas and the remainder of the ton of gas at a gradual speed. Most of the gas is automatically sealed within each supply cylinder 12 by means of the detection valve assembly 30. A leak in one or both cylinders 12 of empty gas supply to the exhaust enclosure 76. This gas can be cleaned at a low speed because it is contained safely, and can be discharged through the purification unit 80 connected to the enclosure. leakage 76. If a power failure deactivates the purification unit 80 during a gas leak, most of the gas released into the environment would be the contents within the collector 70. This release is negligible compared to the prior art release of the gas. all the gas in a cylinder 12 of provision. Means are provided for evacuating residual chlorine from the lines of the apparatus 10, including the manifold 70. The preferred evacuation means is a vacuum waste system (not shown) that removes all the chlorine gas from the lines and discharges the chlorine to a caustic disposal tank. The apparatus 10 can also be provided for a purge system. The containment container 20 is evacuated through the evacuation valve 82 in the container wall 26. At least two containment containers 20 are preferably provided for alternative use, one sized to receive two one-ton supply cylinders 12, and the other sized to receive two cylinders 14 of 6.79 to 9.06 kg. The latter is intended primarily to receive, contain and safely evacuate leaking cylinders. Both vessels 20 have reduced orifice gas phase ventilation, as indicated above, and covers 32 secured to bolt cover flanges 32a 34. The gas detection valve assembly 30 preferably includes an infallible, nitrogen-operated automatic shut-off valve. . See figure 6. This modern pneumatic spring unit is designed for interconnection with multiple control points. The unit is connected to chlorine detectors and / or seismic sensors, and other alarms to provide immediate chlorine closure. The unit is hermetically sealed and all components are NEMA-7. Each of the following events preferably activate automatic closing: (1) gas detection, (2) remote location alarm in a facility that houses the apparatus 10, (3) failure of emergency power, (4) seismic activity , (5) failure of primary containment, (5) activation of manual fire alarm. A mechanical excess flow shutoff valve 78 is directly connected to the ton provision cylinders 12. The exhaust enclosure 76 is combined with structural seismic support of conventional design connected directly to the containment vessel. Stationary tanks and piping systems used for regulated materials are seismically secured in accordance with the provisions of the code "San José Building Code", chapter 17.04, title 17.78.310, "Securíty". Again, it is understood that chlorine gas is only a preferred fluid substance of many gaseous and liquid substances for delivery or transfer with apparatus 10.
Procedure In practicing the invention, the following procedure can be carried out. The method includes the steps of placing at least two supply cylinders 12 in a containment container 20; connecting the gas release valves 16 of the supply cylinder 12 to respective flexible lines 22 extending through the wall 26 of the containment container 20 and through respective gas detection valve assemblies 30. Additional steps include supplying gas to the gas manifold 70; evacuate the collector 70 from liquid or waste gas; maintaining gas within the supply cylinders 12 and within the collector 70 at room temperature, so that the gas pressure is minimum for safe retention; and supplying the gas from the manifold 70 to at least one distribution cylinder 14 and debugging the small amount of remaining gas. Although the invention has been described, exhibited, illustrated and shown in various terms of certain modalities or modifications that it has assumed in practice, the scope of the invention should not be considered limited by them, and said modifications or modalities as may be suggested. by the teachings of the present, they are particularly reserved especially within the breadth and scope of the appended claims.
