Sulphur Dioxide
Haven't seen much about Sulphur Dioxide on RE. Have any of you guys out there had any experiences with it?
My one and only experience was as an apprentice. I assisted de-commisioning an open drive system - in a butchers on the Edgware Road in London if memory serves.
My supervisor had me hold a pipe in a bucket of water as he let the gas go. Stank to high heaven. Guess where the now acid went? Yep down the drain in the street - cleaned it up a treat.
OOPs. Seems there are a few posts on this subject after all. 2005 vintage. Hey Ho.Last edited by Greengrocer; 08-05-2008 at 04:48 AM.
If in doubt read the instructions. If still in doubt follow them.

Re: Sulphur Dioxide
My only experience with SO2 was many years ago when making a smokehouse from an old refrigerator that belonged to my Father.
I cut the lines with an axe. The escaping gas killed his strayberrys.

Re: Sulphur Dioxide
GUYS!
It must be something to do with age??
NH3LVR.
That must of been an early attempt at "Freeze Drying".
Mind you cutting the lines with an axe. And I thought you Americans had all the tools.
Greengrocer.
Nowadays there are companies that charge a fortune to flush a Condesor sump with Bleach!
I can't refer to releases of So2 but NH3 that's a differant story.
Use So2 anyware and H&S Brigade would have a field day.
Perhaps someone else can clarify this ?
But I think that it was banned a long time ago.
Certainly most of the plants that I have worked on.
That were sO2 date back to the second world war (usually food supplies for the "visiting" American troops).
Has anyone tried to get Sulphur Sticks recently?

Re: Sulphur Dioxide
I got a sulphure dioxid fridge sitting out side my place. No one wants to touch it and we don't know what to do with it!
We're trying to pawn it off to the museum, let them deal with it lol, it is history after all!

Re: Sulphur Dioxide
It's impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious...
Don't ever underestimate the power of stupid people when they are in large groups.
Please, don't teach me how to be stupid....
No job is as important as to jeopardize the safety of you or those that you work with.
