<br />6.3 HCN DETECTION EQOIPMENT i <br />Hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN) detectors are located as follows: <br />j AE/AT 900/1 pH Adjustment Tank (04-TK-09~ <br />AE/AT 900/2 Tailings Hopper (04-HP-02) <br />AE/AT 900/3 pH Adjustment Fume Scrubber i(04-SR-O1) <br />The detectors are set to indicate an alarm on thje operator's <br />graphic display at a concentration of HCN in a r of 5 ppm. <br />(The TLV for HCN for a normal 8-hour workday is~10 ppm, and <br />the odor threshold 2-5 ppm). Each detector islfitted with <br />a local alarm horn, which sounds when the HCN concentration <br />reaches 5 ppm. <br />In addition, a continuous measurement of HCN c ncentration <br />in the air discharged from the scrubber is p ovided by a <br />sensor (AE/AT900/10) located in the scrubber stack. The <br />output of this sensor is available on he graphic <br />display. The range is 0-50 ppm HCN. <br /> <br /> <br />pj/1481rp 012591 <br />6-4 <br />1 <br />
