31 responsible for monitoring the system. He alternates with his colleagues in monitoring and inspecting the system on a three-shift work schedule. Every boiler is installed upstream of a gas burner operated on city gas. It starts o by heating normal water, which the boiler uses to produce steam like a pressure cooker. Steam is then delivered to the kitchen, laundry, etc. To ensure the boiler isn’t damaged, the water must be decalcified in an osmosis system – with an oxygen binding agent added to ensure the system doesn‘t become corroded. A phosphate compound prevents deposits on the wall of the boiler for this purpose. Measurements, shift by shift Martin B. and his colleagues take water samples from the boilers regularly to check the degree of hardness in the water. In addition, they use measurements to ensure the boilers contain the right blend of water, silica, and oxygen. They follow the boiler manufacturer’s specifications to do so, and the TÜV inspects the system regularly. Workers use hydrochloric acid and ammonia to complete these regular measurements, for instance – both hazardous chemicals. Ammonia is heavier than air, meaning it does not evaporate but rather collects on the floor, which can cause workers to su ocate. Martin B. and his colleagues always take measurements in their asecos hazardous material work station, which ensures hazardous vapours are ventilated continuously. Before they purchased the system, workers needed to complete measurements outdoors to be safe until the correctional facility‘s occupational safety o cer could find a better solution: “Now we have a very well designed, compact solution that meets all our needs: A hazardous material work station that reliably suctions all of the vapours produced – with plenty of lighting, sockets, and cold and hot water connections”. The asecos safety storage under bench cabinet, where all of the chemicals used have an assigned space and can be stored safely, also impressed Martin B. He summarises the system‘s benefits with typical Bavarian brevity: “It works!” Resumen del proyecto Aplicación: Campana de aspiración para sustancias peligrosas con armario de seguridad bajo para el análisis de muestras de agua Empresa: Centro penitenciario Landsberg am Lech Sede: Landsberg Sector: Autoridades Realizado por un socio de asecos: CVent
