Chlorine gas and HCl fumes are the main sources of air pollution generated in the plant from various process streams, tanks, vessels, process equipments, pipe lines during manufacturing, storing or handling of chlorine etc. All the fugitive emissions of chlorine gas are sucked through a blower and are passed through waste air dechlorination unit where waste chlorine gas is neutralized with caustic soda solution. Similarly HCl fumes generated from the storage tank and during HCI preparation are taken to the above unit where it is neutralized with the alkali. Chlorine gas produced in the electrolyzer is taken for cooling, drying, compression and liquefaction for making liquid chlorine. The unliquidified chlorine gas is known as sniff gas which is taken to HCl plant for burning with hydrogen to make HCl and the sniff gas which can not be burned in HCl plant is taken to waste air dechlorination units. If the hydrogen content in the chlorine is higher then the sniff gas will have higher percentage of hydrogen gas | |
