[Case Study] Prevention of chemical solution splashes from valves! Transparent safety cover that also prevents misoperation.

Response to the revision of the Water Quality Pollution Prevention Act! A case that simultaneously covered the risks of chemical leakage and operational errors.

We would like to introduce a case study on solving customer issues related to the working environment. In an outdoor piping line carrying dilute hydrochloric acid, a valve was installed right next to a walkway, at face height. There was a risk of a serious accident if the chemical were to spray out from the valve joint and hit a person. To address this, we proposed installing a transparent PVC "safety cover for the valve" to contain any potential chemical spray and to physically make it more difficult to operate the valve. As a result, the installation work could be completed in a short time, and the measures taken became clear to everyone. [Issues] - Installing partitions or similar structures to prevent spray would incur significant costs, and typhoon measures would also be necessary. - Even with a "Always Open" sign to prevent incorrect operation, there is still a possibility of misreading it. - We want to keep costs down by using off-the-shelf products as much as possible. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
