Emergency Response

Page 28: Silane What’s the Big Deal?...Silane What’s the Big Deal? Silane Silane SiH4 Pyrophoric • Flammable Range 1.37-96% • TLV = 5ppm • High concentrations may not autoignite but

Silane Monitoring & Response Strategy

• UV/IR flame detection and…

• Hydride detection - TLV 5ppm– Level 1 (warning – ½ TLV) 2.5ppm

• Chemical Services response?

• ERT response?

– Level 2 (Evacuation 1TLV)• ERT response?

Silane Emergency Response

Flame Showing– Flame has been seen up to 3 feet long

• Do NOT extinguish flame

• (sprinklers to cool bottle not extinguish flame)

• SiO2 crust will form and most likely close leak– Watch detection system for decrease/stop of hydride

– Full PPE protection, close valve if possible

• Standard size bottle could take 4 hours to empty (where there is no VAC)

• Remotely vent pigtail to thermal destruct unit e.g., guardian, etc.

• Keep people out of the bunker/room

• Work with local FD to develop response plan

Silane Emergency Response

Flame Response PPE• Nomex Suits

– Operator burned wearing Nomex when trying to turn off leaking valve

• Aluminized suits, hood, leather gloves, hearing protection, or…

• Full fire/proximity suits

Silane Emergency Response

No Flame• Hydride detection

• Crusting at leak

• Remote shut down through ACV, automated control valve

• Vent through thermal destruct unit

• Do NOT open cabinet

• Keep people out of room

• At 10 ppm, not significant (low level) remotely vent

• PPE: Aluminized suits, hoods, leather gloves?
