General Safety Guidelines |
 | ALWAYS FOLLOW MSDS GUIDELINES |
| | Avoid high aqueous concentrations, above 1000 mg/l |
| | Use at recommended levels (or <10.0 ppm) |
| | Maintain ventilation |
| | Use at lowest possible temperature |
| | Careful choice of generation method |
| | Provide good and on-going training |
Preparation of the GO2 4,000 ppm solution |
| | Always read the MSDS and follow the safety instructions |
| | Write the date of production on the label of the container |
Step 1: |
| | Fill container with exactly the amount of water as specified on the used jars/pails to be used |
| | Check temperature table on jars/pails (Min 68F - 20C) |
| Step 2: |
| | First add GO2 component A to the water.
Do not inhale above open pails/jars. |
| | Next, add GO2 component B to the water |
| | Close container tightly |
| | Do not stir or mix the water or shake the container |
| | Wait according to timetable instructions:
|
| |  |
| Step 3: |
| | Shake small containers gently, or stir/mix larger containers slowly |
| | Beware of ClO2 gas release during mixing |
| | GO2 solution is now ready for dosing. |
| | Store in Cool and Dark place |
OSHA limits for ClO2 in air |
| 0.1 ppm TWA (PEL) |
| | The Permissible Exposure Level based on a Time Weighted Average – 0.1 ppm |
| 0.3 ppm STEL |
| | The Short Term Exposure Level – 0.3ppm |
Controlling Off-gassing |
| | Off-gassing is A function of temperature and concentration |
| | Chlorine dioxide solubility increases at lower temperature |
| | Maintain solution temperature below 100°F |
| | Monitors are readily available from various vendors |
