Hazardous Material Spills Require Emergency Response
HazChem is open and prepared to respond quickly, 24/7/365, even on holidays, for any emergency situation. In this instance, HazChem received a call reporting that multiple 1-gallon containers of muriatic acid had spilled onto cardboard in a warehouse, and released hazardous gases.
Our Emergency Rapid Response Team donned level “C” Saranex suits with air purifying respirators and latex boot covers to work with muriatic acid.
The crew went through the saturated and burnt cardboard and re-stacked the non-damaged boxes onto a new pallet.
HazChem technicians created a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and water to neutralize the affected non-damaged containers and the contaminated floor.
The contaminated cardboard and containers were submerged in the sodium bicarbonate and water mixture to neutralize any remaining residual acid.
The crew poured thirteen damaged bottles into a 55-gallon OTP drum along with the sodium bicarb water to ensure there would be no reaction.
After the containers and cardboard were properly sealed into their designated waste drums, the crew began remediation of the contaminated floor using sodium bicarbonate and water.
Our crew completed the remediation, doffed their PPE, and placed it into the designated drum. The spill generated five waste drums that were properly sealed, labeled, and loaded onto HazChem’s ER truck for transport and disposal. Final photos were taken and remediation was approved.
