Where do we start?Mechanical Integrity40 CFR 68.73 & OSHA 1910.119(j) • RECENT CITATIONS • Not following manufacturer’s maintenance schedule for ammonia sensors. EXAMPLE: Manning EC-F9-NH3 Manual states: • “Calibration should be performed with certified calibration gas every six months or after major exposure to a leak.” • “Response test once between calibrations - expose sensor to ammonia / water solution to verify proper sensor response and alarm functions.” • “All tests and calibrations must be logged.” • “Typical sensor life in a refrigerated area will be three to four years.” “In addition to timely response checks, a preventative maintenance program of periodic cell replacement should be implemented.”
