Hazardous waste management

Safety and decontamination of highly flammable material storage warehouses

发布时间:2024-04-22 发布者:

In 2016, an accidental fire broke out in a flammable product warehouse on a Sevilla industrial site, resulting in some parts of the warehouse being burned down. The 90 tons of flammable products retained in the warehouse have a high risk of combustion (silane hydrogen risk), and the damaged roof exposes asbestos.


With the support of two subcontracting companies, CURIUM has conducted product and risk registration, developed a storage evacuation plan, designed and tested specific tools and operating procedures, and completed decontamination and waste packaging work.


The job responsibilities and stages include:


Stability and safety will affect the structure of buildings;


Dismantle the unstable fiber cement board on the roof;


Safely remove the swollen bucket from the unstable collapse without any leakage or spillage;


Transfer liquid, paste or crystalline products from damaged barrels to intact ADR barrels, sometimes under two-phase conditions;


Cutting and disposing of contaminated empty packaging;


Decontaminate undamaged tools and packaging in adjacent areas;


Surface cleaning;


Report the progress of the project on a daily or timely basis.


440 barrels of waste were repackaged throughout the entire project period; 2500 types of packaging were cleaned and decontaminated (220L drums, 20L drums, 1000L medium bulk containers, SAFRAP cans). During this process, a total of 115 tons of asbestos waste and 90 tons of chemical waste were packaged, transported, and disposed of.
