Agreement without Sellers prior written consent. The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

13. Steel Price Escalation. Recent market conditions have resulted in exceptionally volatile prices for both stainless and carbon steels. Supply
conditions are such that producers have instituted surcharges, which they apply at the time of actual shipment of the steel. This means that the
cost for steel used for developing the prices in this quotation are not firm. As a result of this policy, it has become necessary for Siemens to
pass along any escalation in the cost of carbon and stainless steels. The price escalation will be calculated by indexing the cost of the steel
based on the London Metals Exchange from the date that this proposal is issued to the date that the steel is actually received.

B. PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Siemens Water Technologies Emergency Vapor Scrubber is a three-stage chemical

absorption system consisting of a horizontal crossflow spray system followed by two
horizontal crossflow packed bed sections. An induced draft fan pulls vapors through the
scrubber, where intimate contact with a recirculating caustic solution results in the complete
absorption and removal of chlorine or sulfur dioxide vapors. A high efficiency mist
eliminator is located in the gas stream, prior to exhaust, to remove any residual caustic
solution.
A chlorine detector or manual remote start switch activates the system in two steps. The
caustic pump is activated first to permit proper wetting of packing in the scrubber stages
before starting the exhaust fan, with a 0 to 5 second adjustable time delay. The time delay
is typically set for 3 to 5 seconds. This feature allows the scrubber to be ready prior to
passing any chlorine laden gases through it.
The exhaust fan is placed downstream of the scrubber. This feature allows the complete
system to be under negative pressure until the gases are completely scrubbed. The absorber
is placed on top of a caustic storage tank, which is an integral part of the system.
The emergency scrubber system consists of following major system components:

1. FRP Three Stage Scrubber Absorber

2. Integral Caustic Storage tank
3. FRP Air Exhaust Fan
4. Caustic Recirculating Pump
5. Electrical Control Panel
6. Piping, and Single Unitary Construction
C. MAJOR SYSTEM COMPONENTS SIZING

The overall scrubber system package consists of the major system components described
below. The overall size of the system is presented below, including the pump, fan, controls,
scrubber and caustic storage.

1. Scrubber with Integral Caustic Storage Containment:

The complete scrubber system is made of FRP and consists of three stages for
chlorine absorption. The caustic storage tank is integrally molded into the scrubber
housing and is made of premium grade vinyl ester resin. Since the caustic storage
tank and scrubber sections are one part, there is sufficient free board height
available for any expansion of liquid due to water formation. The caustic storage
tank is designed to hold about 20% caustic solution. The overall footprint of the
scrubber and storage tank is listed below.

Length, m (ft): 4.0 (13.0)

Width, m (ft): 2.1 (7.0)
Height, m (ft): 2.6 (8.5)
Caustic Storage Capacity (20%), liters (gal.) 7,950 (2,100)

2. Caustic Recirculation Pump:

The scrubber system includes a vertical, seal-less, centrifugal recirculation pump of

polypropylene construction. Because the pump is seal-less, it does not require seal-
water, a mechanical seal, or seal flush piping.

Recirculation Rate, m3/h (gpm) 124 (550)

TDH, kPa (ft wc) 90 (30)
Motor kW (HP) 14.9 (20)

3. Exhaust Fan:

The scrubber system includes an induced draft air exhaust fan. The induced draft
fan creates negative pressure throughout the system, ducting and scrubber for
maximum safety. Each fan is fiberglass reinforced plastic, centrifugal type with
backward inclined blade.

Air Flow Rate, m3/hr ( acfm) 85 (3,000)

Duct Pressure Losses, mm (in) WC 50 (2.0)
Scrubber/Stack Press. Losses, mm (in) WC 100 (4.0)
Total Static Pressure, mm (in) WC 150 (6.0)
Motor kW ( HP) 3.7 (5.0)
 4. Electrical Control Panel:

The scrubber system includes a pre-wired electrical control panel that includes the
items listed below. A single 380V/3 phase power source will be required for the
control panel.
Motor Starter for Exhaust Fan and Recirculation Pump
Timer Delay for Exhaust Fan
Control Voltage Transformer
System HAND-OFF-AUTO Switch and System Ready Light
Pump HAND-OFF-AUTO Switch
Fan HAND-AUTO Switch
Low Level Switch, Audible Alarm, Reset
Alarm Light for Fan Fail
Alarm Light for Fan Run
Alarm Light for Pump Fail
Alarm Light for Pump Run

D. UTILITIES REQUIREMENT:

1. Electrical Power Requirement:

Air Exhaust Fan: 3.7 kW (5.0 HP)
Caustic Recirculation Pump: 14.9 kW (20 HP)
400V, 3 PH, 50 Hertz

E. SCRUBBER SYSTEM INSTALLATION:

The scrubber system is factory assembled, piped, wired, and tested (operated) with water
prior to shipment. All equipment is aligned and functionally tested at the factory.

We estimate that the total installation time will be eight to sixteen hours. Below are the
installation requirements. Depending upon the job site, there may be additional
installation requirements.
1. Pour a concrete pad 6 thick, 1 ft larger than equipment footprint.
2. Unload equipment and set on concrete pad. (Place thick, 60 durometer
neoprene pad (provided by USFilter) between the scrubber and the concrete).
3. Anchor the equipment to the concrete pad (epoxy-type anchor bolts are furnished
with equipment).
4. Install the inlet ducting and dampers from the source(s) to the scrubber inlet.
5. Connect power supply to the control panel.
6. Provide and install wiring and conduit from the remote gas detectors and
ventilation system to the control panel.
7. Connect exhaust stack (provided by Others)
8. Fill the scrubber with 20% caustic solution (provided by others).
F. SCRUBBER REACTION CHEMISTRY AND RELEVANT CALCULATIONS

Tables 1 through 4, attached at the end of this section, present detailed calculations
regarding anticipated maximum chlorine concentration, theoretical caustic requirement,
heat of reaction, excess chemical available, and minimum recirculation rate required.
The system design and performance requirements are summarized in Table 4.

1. Caustic Requirement

Sodium hydroxide solution is used to neutralize the chlorine. The reaction

between sodium hydroxide and chlorine is:

2NaOH + Cl2 NaCl + NaOCl + H2O + 44,600 Btu/mol

Two moles of sodium hydroxide (80 kg or 80 lbs.) are required to neutralize each
mole of Cl2 (70.9 kg or 70.9 lbs.). To neutralize all the Cl2 leaked from the cylinder,
the minimum weight of sodium hydroxide is:

1,066
x 80 = 1,203 kg
70.9
The caustic solution in the scrubber sump is 7,955 L (2,100 gallons) of 20% by
weight of sodium hydroxide.
Each gallon of 20% solution contains 0.244 kg/L (2.04 lbs) of NaOH.
Thus, NaOH available = 0.244 x 7949 = 1,943 kg (4,284 lbs).
Therefore, the percentage of excess chemical = 62%. Table 2 presents details of
the calculations.

2. Final Solution Composition

Based on the above reaction, neutralization of chlorine and caustic is as follows:

For each kg (lb) of chlorine:
NaOH required: 1.13 kg (1.13 lbs)
NaCl produced: 0.825 kg (0.825 lbs)
NaOCl produced: 1.05 kg (1.05 lbs)
Water produced: 0.25 kg (0.25 lbs)

After all chlorine is released and neutralized, the sump composition is shown in
Table 2, attached in section 7.6 of the submittal.
3. Scrubber Recirculation Rate

Table 3 presents calculations for the scrubber recirculation rate and available
chemical at the start and end of the release event.

4. Sump Temperature Rise

Neutralization of chlorine with sodium hydroxide is an exothermic reaction. The

heat of reaction is 47,055 kJ/mole (44,600 Btu/mole) of Cl2. Reaction is in the liquid
phase. If there is no heat loss to the air and other components of the scrubber system,
the temperature rise of sodium hydroxide solution can be calculated from the
following equation:

H = m C p T

where:
H = total heat released by reaction, kg
m = total weight of caustic solution, kg
Cp = heat capacity of caustic solution, kJ/kg.-oC
T = temperature rise, oC

Heat capacity for 20% by weight caustic solution is 3.8 kJ/kg-C (0.9 Btu/lb-oF).
One liter (0.26 gallons) of 20% NaOH weighs 1.226 kg (2.70 lbs). Most of the heat
will be lost due to air moving through the system, which must be analyzed as
follows:

where:
m1 = Mass of NaOH, 20%, kg
m2 = Mass of Air, kg
m3 = Mass of Chlorine Reacted, kg
Cp = Specific Heat, kJ/kg.-C
dH = Change of Enthalpy, kJ

The heat generated by the chlorine absorption,

m3 47,055kg / kgmol
dH =
70.9kg / kgmol

By conservation of energy, the total change above is equal to the change of energy in
the liquid sump, dH1 added to the change of energy in the air traveling through the
system, dH2.

dH = dH 1 + dH 2

Due to the intimate contact in the scrubber vessel between the airstream and the
recirculating liquid, the two temperatures approximate one another, as can be seen in
the performance test data.
 Assuming the same initial temperatures of the sump and ambient air (to be
conservative since released chlorine will be very cold),

dH 1 dH 2
dT 1 = dT 2 = =
m1 Cp1 m2 Cp 2

The result of solving these simultaneous equations is shown in Table 2, where the
temperature rise is shown as 0C (33F). With an initial temperature of 27C (80F),
the final reaction temperature is well below the equipment service rating of 66C
(150oF).

5. Chemical Utilization During Equipment Checkouts

Carbon dioxide will be absorbed by the caustic solution during weekly testing of the
scrubber system. The reaction between sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide is:

CO 2 + 2NaOH Na 2 CO 3 + H 2 O

Two moles of sodium hydroxide (80 kg) are required for a complete reaction with
each mole of carbon dioxide (44 kg). It is recommended that the scrubber system be
exercised 5 minutes every four weeks. To be conservative, we estimate caustic
consumption based on 10 minutes of operation every 2 weeks. The following
amount of caustic would be consumed:

CO2 Conc. in Ambient Air, % by Volume: 0.033%

Airflow Rate, m3/min (cfm):: 85 (3,000)
CO2 Flow Rate, m3/min (cfm): 0.028 (9.90E-01)
CO2 Flow Rate, kg-mol/min (lbs.-mole/min): 0.00116 (2.56E-03)
CO2 Flow Rate, kg/min (lbs/min): 0.051 (0.113)
NaOH Required, kg (lbs) NaOH/kg (lbs) CO2: 1.82
NaOH Consumed, kg/min (lbs/min): 0.0930 (0.205)

NaOH Consumed per Cycle of 10 min: 0.093 (2.05)

No. of Cycles/Yr: 26
NaOH Consumed/Yr, kg (lbs): 2.42 (53.3)
or,
NaOH Consumed, L, (gal), 50% 31.6 (8.35)

About 31.6 L (8.35 gallons) of 50% caustic should be added every year.
G. SCRUBBER PERFORMANCE PREDICTION

Siemens Water Technologies scrubber system will reduce outlet concentrations to the
following levels in three stages of scrubbing. The scrubber system models are based on
proven and reliable models and each stage has taken into account about a 20% safety factor.
These models have been verified during our full scale testing. The predicted performance is
presented as follows:

Scrubber Inlet Conc., ppm Scrubber Outlet Conc., ppm

180,787 <5

H. PERFORMANCE TEST RESULTS

Siemens Water Technologies has carried out a chlorine release performance test at a
nationally recognized and C.A.B.O. approved test facility in San Antonio, Texas. The
chlorine liquid was released from a 150 lb cylinder, 1-ton cylinder and a holding tank
with 550 lbs chlorine into a specially built flash room.

The flash room was equipped with temperature and pressure monitors. The release rates
were measured through an electronic load cell. The exhaust chlorine concentrations were
monitored with an Enterra EIT Model 4000 analyzer.

During the entire release of 1-ton chlorine, the exhaust chlorine concentration was less
than detectable. During a release rate of 100 lbs/min, the outlet concentration never
exceeded 1 ppm.

The release room or flash room was under negative pressure during the entire test period.
The test met all requirements of the UFC (release rate in excess of 78 lbs/min, stack
concentration <5 ppm of chlorine, and room under negative pressure).

Note: After the leak was completed, a propane burner was utilized in the flash room to
speed, up the cleanup time. It appears that the burner exhaust gases contributed to the
increased chlorine levels (0.6-1.2 ppm) measured by the chlorine monitors.

Test No. 6

This test was conducted with the RJ 150 scrubber system and involved leaking the contents
from a 150 lb liquid chlorine cylinder into the flash room. The maximum release rate reached
during this test was 28.5 lb/min and the maximum chlorine levels measured at the exhaust was
1.3 ppm. The flash room maintained a negative pressure throughout the test.

Test No. 7

A demonstration test of the RJ 2000 scrubber system was witnessed by industry representatives
and involved leaking the contents from a 150 lb liquid chlorine cylinder into the flash room. The
maximum chlorine level measured at the scrubber exhaust was 0.2 ppm which is within the UFC
limits.

CONCLUSION

The qualification tests performed on the RJ 150 and 2000 emergency chlorine scrubber systems
were performed under controlled laboratory conditions at SwRI using calibrated equipment and
instrumentation as well as certified materials. The test results were video taped for documentation
purposes and the data processed and recorded on the Department of Fire Technology VAX mainframe
computer.

The qualification tests confirmed that the RJ 150 and 2000 scrubber systems neutralized the
chlorine gas releases and met the UFC requirements for reducing the maximum allowable discharge
concentration of chlorine to one-half of the Immediate Danger to Life and Health (IDLH) rating (15
ppm) at the point of discharge into the atmosphere. The scrubber systems also maintained a negative
pressure in the flash room during treatment of the chlorine vapors.

RE: SwRl Project No. 01-4959 FINAL LETTER REPORT

Subject: Qualification Test Program for the R.J. Environmental Emergency Chlorine
Scrubber Systems

Dcar Mr. Jain:

This letter constitutes the final report for Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) Project No.
01-4959: Qualification Test Program for the RJ 150 and 2000 Emergency Chlorine Scrubber
Systems. A description of the test program along with the tests results is included below.

INTRODUCTION

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was contracted to perform qualification testing of the R.J.
Environmental Model No. RJ 150 and 2000 Emergency Chlorine Scrubber Systems for compliance to
the 1991 Uniform Fire Code (UFC) requirements for indoor storage of toxic compressed gases. The full.
scale laboratory tests were conducted at SwRl during the period of April 13 - 26, 1992 and involved
simulating chlorine leaks of 150, 550, and 1800 lb to confirm that the scrubber systems would meet the
UFC requirements for a maximum chlorine discharge concentration of less than 15 ppm from the
scrubber exhaust stack and operation of the cylinder storage room at A negative pressure throughout the
treatment of the chlorine vapors.

CHLORINE SCRUBBER SYSTEMS

The RJ 150 and 2000 scrubber systems represent a three stage absorption system designed to
provide the mquired room ventilation rates through induced draft fans and supply of caustic solution
for treatment of the chlorine vapors. The scrubber components include a three stage absorber, integral
caustic storage tank, air exhaust fan, caustic recirculation pump, electric control panel, and associated
piping. The RJ 150 scrubber was designed to handle 150 to 300 lb chlorine leaks, while the RJ 2000
was designed to handle chlorine leaks from one ton cylinders and bulk storage tanks.

TEST SET UP

The test set up for the qualification tests included chlorine cylinders, pressure vessel, load cells,
flash room, instrumentation, data acquisition system, and video equipment. The chlorine cylinders were
mounted on external support structures which included load cells for monitoring weight loss. A flash
room measuring 12 x 11 x 12 ft was constructed to contain the chlorine leaks and was instrumented
with thermocouple wire for monitoring room temperatures and a transducer to monitor room pressures.
Observation windows were installed in the walls and ceiling of the room to allow for video
documentation of the liquid chlorine leaks and vaporization process.

The scrubbers were instrumented with thermocouples to determine the temperatures at selected
locations and monitors to measure the chlorine levels from the exhaust stack emissions. A data
acquisition system provided continuous online data recordings of the cylinder weight loss, temperatures,
pressures, and flow rates every five seconds during each of the tests. Figure I illustrates the layout of the
test set up.

INSTRUMENTATION AND EQUIPMENT

The following list identifies the test data recorded and the instrumentation utilized for the
qualification tests:

a. Flash Room Static Pressure: The static pressure was monitored with a calibrated
pressure transducer having an accuracy of 0.01 inch w.c.

b. Chlorine concentration: The chlorine concentration at the outlet of the scrubber was
monitored with an Enterra Model 4000 chlorine analyzer calibrated and certified by
the manufacturer. The analyzer was field checked frequently against a calibration
kit provided by Enterra.
C. Chlorine Release Rate: The chlorine release rate was calculated from the measured
chlorine cylinder weight loss versus time. The weight of the cylinders were
monitored continuously with calibrated load cells.

d. Temperatures: Temperatures of the ambient air, flash room, scrubber Wet and
outlet, and scrubber sump were measured with certified Omega Type K
thermocouple wire.

e. Pressures: The pressure differentials across the specially designed orifice plates and
scrubbers were measured with Dwyer pressure gauges.

f. Scrubber Air Flow: Volumetric air flow rates were measured with an orifice plate
installed at the scrubber inlet. The orifice plate was calibrated by measuring the air
flow at several orifice plate pressure drop settings. Air flows were measured using a
standard pitot tube in accordance to EPA Method 2.

g. Data Acquisition System: A calibrated John Fluke 2289A Helios I analog to digital
converter was utilized for recording the test data. This data was then sent to a VAX
750 mainframe computer for processing and storage.

SAFETY PROGRAM

The test program was conducted in accordance with the SwRl safety procedure written to
ensure the safety of the test personnel, environment, and equipment. The test personnel received
training regarding the use of protective clothing, respirators, hazards involved, and compliance to the
safety procedures. 'Me. test program was monitored by the SwRl Safety Office to ensure compliance
to the safety and environmental regulations.

TEST PROGRAM
A total of seven tests were conducted for evaluation of the scrubber systems. The first three tests
were conducted as functional checks of the test apparatus and involved controlled releases of nitrogen
and chlorine to ensure that the scrubber systems were capable of treating the chlorine

vapors. The tests were scheduled such that the severity level of the chlorine leaks was gradually
increased to confirm that the systems were operating satisfactorily and the chlorine levels from the
exhaust were within the allowable limits.

Test No. 1, 2, and 3

The first test was a functional checkout of the test apparatus, instrumentation, and data
acquisition system by venting available room air and nitrogen through the test set up. The
functional check verified that the scrubbers and the instrumentation were functioning properly.

The second functional test was conducted by leaking 19 lb from a 150 lb chlorine cylinder into
the flash room. The chlorine vapors were vented from the room into the scrubber for treatment
and exhausted into the atmosphere. The maximum chlorine level measured from the stack
emissions during the functional test was 0.1 ppm.

The third test involved the release of 75 lb of chlorine into the flash room. The maximum
chlorine level recorded at the scrubber exhaust stack was 0.2 ppm.

Based on observations made during the initial scrubber systems operation, modifications
were made by RJE to improve and optimize the gas and liquid caustic distribution for a more
efficient scrubbing process.

Test No. 4

This test involved the release of approximately 1800 lb of liquid chlorine from a one ton
cylinder into the flash room. The maximum chlorine leak rate reached during the test was 52
lb/min. As shown in the respective data tables, the flash mom was maintained under negative
pressure throughout the entire test period and the maximum chlorine level measured from the
RJ 2000 scrubber exhaust was 0.0 ppm.

Test No. 5

This test was conducted to simulate a catastrophic chlorine leak rate to determine the capability
of the RJ 2000 scrubber to treat the chlorine vapors within the allowable limits set by the UFC.
To optimize the leak rate, 550 lb of liquid chlorine were transferred from a one ton cylinder into
a 250 gal pressure tank and pressurized with a nitrogen blanket.

The liquid chlorine was released from the 250 gal pressure tank into the flash room with the
chlorine valve in the full open position. The 550 lb of chlorine were leaked into the flash room
at a maximum leak rate of 99 lb/min. The flash room maintained a negative pressure throughout
the test and the chlorine levels measured from the exhaust stack ranged from 0.1 to 0.6 ppm
which is well within the limits set by the UFC.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS- RELEASE FROM 1 TON CYLINDER (RJE-004)

Scrubber Air Flow Rate: 1,180 cfm

The exhaust stack was "sensed" by RJE and SWRI personnel. A faint "swimming pool"
type smell was all that could be smelled, further verifying that chlorine levels in the stack
were non-existent.

RJE-2000 SCRUBBER
SUMMARY OF RESULTS (RJE-005)

Scrubber Air Flow Rate: 1,180 cfm

Release from Pressurized Chlorine Holding Tank (550-lb. Release)

* Release stopped; tank empty.

**A propane burner was placed at the intake air into the flash room (at about 30 minutes
into the test) to help speed up the chlorine vaporization rate. It is known that carbon
monoxide can interfere with the chlorine sensor. It may explain the higher chlorine
levels in the stack during the later part of the test.

 RJ ENVIRONMENTAL'S CHLORINE SCRUBBER PERFORMANCE

Test Date: April 1992

Test Site: Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas
Test No.: RJE-005

Data
Flash Room Dimension: 12'x ll'x 12'
Flash Room Volume: 1,584 ft3
Chlorine Release: 99 lbs *
Release Duration: I min.*
Scrubber Air Flow Rate: 1, 180 cfm
* Analysis based on I minute intervals

Test Observation
The chlorine liquid was entirely "flashed" into vapor during the first few minutes of the test, as
observed during the test.

Calculations
The maximum inlet chlorine concentration will be calculated based on all chlorine vapor entering
into the scrubber as soon as it is formed, i.e. no mixing in the room.
Lbs of chlorine released/min.: 99
1 lb of chlorine: 5.42 ft3 of chlorine vapor
Rate of chlorine vapor: 99 x 5.42 = 537 cfm

Scrubber flow rate: 1,180

Chlorine concentration in inlet duct to the scrubber:

537 X 106
1,180
C12, maximum = 454,980 ppm

The minimum chlorine concentration will be calculated if we assume all chlorine vapor generated
is first well mixed in the room, to a uniform concentration before it enters into the scrubber.
Chlorine Vapor Formed: 537 ft3 (first minute)
Room Volume: 1,584 ft3
Room Chlorine Concentration:
537 X 106
1,584
C12, minimum = 339,015 ppm

Since the room temperature in the flash room was not uniform (at three locations), it suggests that
the concentration in the room wasn't the same, thus we expect the chlorine vapor concentration in
the room must be somewhere between these two values.

Siemens Water Technologies offers a full range of
emergency scrubbers for protection against accidental
leaks of toxic gases such as chlorine, ammonia and
sulfur dioxide.
RJ-2000 Emergency Scrubber
The patented RJ-2000 is the worlds most popular
emergency scrubber system. The patented process is
designed to contain and neutralize chlorine vapors in
response to a gas leak or catastrophic cylinder failure.
The RJ-2000 scrubber uses a unique horizontal flow
path, with a proprietary caustic distribution network, to
absorb better than 99.999% of the chlorine gas
entering the scrubber, in a very compact footprint and
low profile.
The RJ-2000 is the only emergency scrubber to have
been tested by an independent, certified laboratory in a
full 1-ton chlorine gas release. During this test, a
catastrophic accident was stimulated with chlorine
release rates of 100 lb/min. The scrubber saw inlet
chlorine concentrations in excess of 500,000 ppm, and
outlet concentrations less than 1ppm, safely below the
5 ppm UFC limit.

RJ-2000 Emergency
Chlorine Scrubber
How It Works
When a leak occurs, the pump and fan start
automatically. The fan provides sufficient vacuum to
contain the chlorine gas and deliver it to the scrubber.
The pump circulates concentrated caustic solution
over the scrubber packing to absorb virtually all of the
chlorine gas.
The entire system is factory assembled and tested, for
easy, plug & play installation.
The RJ-2000 scrubbers are also available to neutralize
2-tons or 3-tons of chlorine gas. Larger bulk systems
can be provided for up to 100-tons of chlorine.
