Reasons for Passivation

Removes surface impurities

Provides a compatible metal oxide

surface for Hydrogen Peroxide contact:

-- Ensuring stability and quality

-- Inhibiting corrosion

Hydrogen Peroxide is non-flammable

Use water for extinguishing fire

If fire is near storage vessel

-- Cool with external water s ra

Wear proper protective equipment

Relieve pressure on system (shut off H2O2 flow & isolate storage tank)

Introduce and flush water through the piping system Lock out equipment

Drain Water

Rinse off all parts with Water (i.e. fittings, nuts, bolts, gaskets)

Cleanliness during repair is crucial

Repassivate if necessary

Four Wa s to Maintain Safet & ualit Passivation

-- Make sure all components of the Hydrogen Peroxide system are

properly passivated

nspect on

-- Tanks and delivery system should be inspected once every two years

-- Hydrogen Peroxide testing

-- Water quality testing

Maintenance-- Repair defects immediately
