prohibit direct eductor to drain, Ammonia pumping out
Good day, all.
We using ammonia refrigerant system.
Today when suddenly occur ammonia leak, I wondering about that direct eductor to drain or flume when pumping out from the freezer pipe.
That eductor is that using jest water pressure.
I don't know that how much coming the volume of eductor at once. depend on isolate plumb volume, estimate 1/2" 2 hour open water mix.
Here, Do I need to use some gathering tank for ammonia evaporate to atmosphere?
If you have any suggestion this it might help me. Many thanks.

Hoon:
Welcome to the forum.
If you are considering putting the water down the City drain be very careful.
I looked up your vCard and it appears you work in the plant in Kodiak.
ISA did this many years ago and killed off the bugs n the sewer plant.
A lot of problem.
Even if you let the ammonia dissipate it will still have a high ph.
Talk to the City first.
As for going into the ocean-let your conscience be your guide.
I used to work for ISA in Egigik 30 years ago.

get or make up a recovery unit and transfer vapour to other parts of system, or into a one tonne cylinder as a liquid. Dumping saturated water down the drain is not good for the enviroment, water saturated with ammonia should be and supposed to be treated as a hazardous substance and subjected a huge draught of legislation laws globally
