| Abstract |
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymerisation processes and emission sources are sufficiently similar to allow a high level of transfer of control technology. Control strategies and individual controls to limit worker exposure in the PVC industry are described (management organisation, preliminary air sampling, worker training, initial controls of atmospheric process vessels, vent stacks, area and worker isolation, sample collection, filters and strainers, rupture discs and pressure relief valves, leak prevention, work practices, on-stream maintenance, automatic monitoring systems, local ventilation, general exhaust ventilation, long-range controls), and their applicability to PAN processes evaluated in each case. |
