Ammonia Cylinder Storage Safety Inquiry
The case is as follows: Our Store department has received 20 ammonia cylinders, each with a capacity of 50 kg, temporarily under the project job work. They raised a question about ammonia storage safety for these 20 ammonia cylinders in the store by demanding a sprinkler system provision. However, as per the Factory Act 1963, TAC, IS-2190, we have already provided a fire network line with a double hydrant protection system (01 No.) in the store yard area where these cylinders are kept.
My question is, is it essential to install a sprinkler system in the store yard area for only 20 NH3 cylinders? What are the ammonia safety rules, and what should be done in this type of situation?
Thanks,
H.V. Purohit
