ABSTRACT

The removal of refractory from lines andvesselsinthepetrochemicalindustryisnecessaryforinspection,repair,maintenance,andreplace-ment.Thesmallspacesanddifficultyofaccesshaveotherwiselimitedthemethodsofremovaltomanuallaborwithhandheldchippinghammers.Thisallowsonlythelimitedpowerandforcethatanindividualcansupport,whileexposingtheseworkerstothehazardsofsilicadust,extremenoise,vibration,andphysicallyexhaustinglaborinaconfinedspace.

Refractoryliningsmayneedtoberemovedforreplacement,inspectionor repair. Manual chipping is still commonlypracticed,withtheonlyother alternative being replacement of the entire vessel or line. The removal ofrefractorybyhighpressurewater-jet has been proven to be more than ten times faster than manual chip-ping,resultingintheeliminationofover500hoursofworkerexposuretosilicadust,noise,andvibrationwithinaconfinedspaceonatypicalrefractory replacement. The mechani-cal properties of refractory materials lendthemselvestopenetrationbyhighpressurewaterjets,evenmoresoafterbeinginservice,duetofracturesandweaknessesthatdevelopinthemate-rial.Ineverycase,thesamplerefrac-torymaterialsprovidedfortestingweremoredifficulttoremovethantheactual in-situ refractory.

Ademonstrationofmanualchippingwitha7kg(15lb)pneumatichammerwasconductedinType1refractory,127mm(5in)thickness,installedwithina1020mm(40in)diametersection. The operator of the hammer workedfor1hour,withinasquareof305mm(1ft2).Theresultwasanesti-matedremovalrateof.003m3(.1ft3)perhour,illustratedinFigure1.

There-fore,toincreasetheremovalrate,itismost effective to operate at the opti-mumpressureandincreasetheflowratetoapplymorepower.

Forthepressureefficiencytests,theminimumeffectivepressureandoptimumpressurevariedwiththerefractory type. For the refractory typestested,theoptimumpressureoccurredbetween103and138MPa(15,000and20,000psi).Alltestswereconductedwithasinglejetorifice,traversedacrosstherefractorysampleatastandoffdistancebetween76and102mm(3and4in.)

Hazard Classification: Provides specific criteria for classification of health and physical hazards, as well as classification of mixtures.

Labels: Chemical manufacturers and importers will be required to provide a label that includes a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazards statement for each hazard class and category. Precautionary statements must also be provided.

Safety Data Sheets: Will now have a specified 16-section format.

Information and Training: Employers are required to train workers by December 1, 2013, on the new labels elements and safety data sheets format to facilitate recognition and understanding.

NO MATTER WHAT PRESSURE, THE STAKES ARE ALWAYS HIGH.

High-pressure water can’t tell the difference between steel and skin. So suit up with protective gear from TST at any pressure. It only takes a few minutes to prevent

serious, even life-threatening injury. There’s just no good excuse not to suit up — every time.
