- 27. Emergency Services Division PROCESSING VESSEL The ensiling process transforms the crops by various means into a high quality feed for livestock Processed crops become almost twice as valuable as compared to dried crops Processed crops hold the nutrition value longer
- 29. Emergency Services Division Confined Spaces “KILL” Basics of Staying Alive in a Confined Space • Recognition • Assessment • Control • Rescue procedures 2 B.C. Paramedics – Kim Weitzel & Shawn Currier, Die in water monitoring shed at Teck Cominco’s Sullivan Mine, May 17, 2006
- 30. Emergency Services Division Definition of a Confined Space (September 2005) A fully or partially enclosed space Is not both designed and constructed for continuous human occupancy, and In which atmospheric hazards may occur because of its construction, location or contents or because or work that is done in it Gen. Reg. 632/05
- 31. Emergency Services Division HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL PRODUCER Carbon Dioxide CO2 Carbon Monoxide CO Nitrogen Dioxide NO2 Nitric Oxide NO3 Nitrogen Tetroxide N2O4 Ammonia NH2 Methane CH4 Hydrogen Sulfide H2S
- 32. Emergency Services Division CARBON DIOXIDE: How and Where Produced by crops in storage Production is directly in proportion to moisture content Molasses tanks contain lethal quantities. Warm days produce more than cold days Asphyxiant - Heavier than air, no colour, no odour, non-flammable
- 33. Emergency Services Division CARBON MONOXIDE CO: How and Where Created during a fire due to incomplete combustion of material burning Will self ignite causing fire or explosion in a mixture of 12.5 to 74% and temperature in excess of approximately 1100 Fahrenheit Asphyxiant - no colour, no odour in its pure form, flammable, could cause an explosion in certain conditions, lighter than air
- 34. Emergency Services Division NITROGEN DIOXIDE (NO2 ): How and Where Produced by green crops when stored as silage - Called SILO GAS by farmers Produced for approx. 20 to 30 days after put in silo. Worst period is first 1 to 5 days
- 35. Emergency Services Division Nitrogen Dioxide: Properties • Heavier than air • Strong odour, • Reddish-brown, • Asphyxiant and a poison • Respiratory irritant - permanent lung damage, • Lung damage may appear 1 to 2 weeks later • Nonflammable but will support combustion.
- 36. Emergency Services Division Nitrogen Dioxide: Lung Damage
- 37. Emergency Services Division NITRIC OXIDE NO3: How and Where Produced in ensiled plants that contain high levels of free nitrate High production during dry season, too cold or too hot depending on crop, improper fertilizing of field, weeds, excessive cloudy weather
- 38. Emergency Services Division NITROGEN TETROXIDE (N2O4): How and Where Produced during ensilage process and is similar to but more reactive than nitrogen dioxide Heavier than both carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide Respiratory irritant - permanent lung damage strong odour, heavier than air, yellow in colour, nonflammable but will support combustion
- 39. Emergency Services Division METHANE: How and Where Is a by-product of the silage fermentation process and is also formed in manure storage areas. Difficult to detect in both areas It should be assumed that methane is present in both areas Asphyxiant - highly flammable between 2 and 15 % by volume, lighter than air, no colour or odour
- 40. Emergency Services Division HYDROGEN SULFIDE (H2S): How and Where Not a by-product of the silage process Produced in manure pits when pits are agitated or emptied which may be near silos, barns, or feed lots Asphyxiant, Pulmonary irritant, Coma, Convulsions - At concentrates of 1,000 PPM can kill with a single breath, rotten egg smell, heavier than air, flammable between 4 and 44% by volume
- 41. Emergency Services Division THREE MAIN TYPES OF SILOS Manufactures depends on area Conventional Silo Oxygen Limiting Silo Bunker Silo There are other systems such as AG-Bags that also use the fermentation process
