Meet NFPA 55 Fire Safety Standards With ChlorTainer
ChlorTainer’s gas-tight recovery systems help facilities nationwide stay safe. We offer solutions to fulfill NFPA guidelines, including cylinder containment systems, and treatment systems.
What Is NFPA 55?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is a publication for the safe storage, handling, and use of compressed gasses and cryogenic fluids.
The following excerpts from the NFPA Fire Code 2024 Edition reference a secondary containment system, which is exactly the type of containment provided by ChlorTainer vessels.
NFPA 55, the National Fire Protection Association’s “Compressed Gases and Cryogenic Fluids Code,” is a crucial guideline ensuring the secure handling and storage of these materials.
Why NFPA 55 Matters
Safety First
NFPA 55 provides comprehensive standards for the safe use, storage, and handling of compressed gases and cryogenic fluids, promoting a secure working environment.
Risk Mitigation
The code addresses potential hazards associated with these substances, offering guidelines to minimize the risk of accidents and enhance emergency response preparedness.
NFPA® 1 Fire Code 2024 Edition Reference: (NFPA 55 extracts) 2.4, Various paragraphs in 3.3 and Chapter 63 TIA 24-4
3.3.284.8 Cylinder Containment System
A gas-tight recovery system comprising equipment or devices that can be placed over a leak in a compressed gas container, thereby stopping or controlling the escape of gas from the leaking container. [55, 20230] (FCC-HAZ)
3.3.284.14 Treatment System
An assembly of equipment capable of processing a hazardous gas and reducing the gas concentration to a predetermined level at the point of discharge from the system to the atmosphere. [55, 20230] (FCC-HAZ)
ChlorTainer’s total containment system is used by hundreds of water treatment plants and pump stations across the United States as well as Internationally. ChlorTainer helps water treatment plants and industrial facilities lower their costs, minimize equipment maintenance, and enhance safety for their operators and the surrounding communities.
