BackgroundPrevious presentation – Evaluation of gases to
Method E12/2/2009
Background• Utility contacted UL• Concern surrounding contaminants in chlorine• Provided a study suggesting a concentration
effect of Carbon Tetrachloride.
![Page 3: Chair - Jeff Hebenstreit - UL 12/4/2013. Background Previous presentation – Evaluation of gases to Method E 12/2/2009 Background Utility contacted UL](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd0a06/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Concerns• A product could meet the requirements of
the standard, if prepared from a full cylinder, where it truly may be non-compliant.
• As product is used, compliant products can become non-compliant, depending on the application method.

Modified Test Method• Gases prepped via method E• Prepared sample from full cylinder• Vented cylinder to near empty• Prepared a second sample• Analyzed via EPA method 524.2

Proposed Changes to AWWA B301• Ballot proposal submitted to AWWA
disinfection committee to revise AWWA B301 for the following:
• Carbon Tetrachloride: Revise from the current limit of 100 ppm to 16 ppm.
• Trihalomethanes: Revise from the current limit of 300 ppm to 267 ppm (0.0267 percent).

AWWA M20 Manual• Proposed language to warn about the issue• Also indicated that the use of vaporizers do
not necessarily remedy the issue• Suggested a remedy if issue is present
