Z9.1 Subcommittee MembersZ9.1 Subcommittee Members
• John Sheehy• Jeff Burton• Kathleen Paulson• George Adams• Charles Boone• Ken Hankinson• Frank Cichon• Robert Hughes
ObjectivesObjectives(for this edition)(for this edition)
• Stand alone document• Incorporate new technology and experience• Use a combination of control approaches to
protect workers• Allow for two LEV design approaches: Control
Velocity or Hemeon• Minimize duplications with ACGIH Industrial
Ventilation Manual
Tanks with oneTanks with one--sided lateral exhaust hoodssided lateral exhaust hoods
Applications and ExclusionsApplications and Exclusions
• Applies to open surface tank (OST) operations: washing, electroplating, anodizing, pickling, degreasing, dipping, stripping, rinsing and similar operations
• Excludes molten material handling, surface coating by spraying, brushing, pouring etc. and wet sink operations in the semi-conductor industry
• Not intended to cover fire protection
Contents Contents
• Purpose of Z9.1 standard: to protect the health of workers
• Open-surface tank operations classified according to risk
• Exposure and emission control requirements to maintain air contaminants below acceptable limits
• Local exhaust ventilation design including push-pull ventilation and general ventilation

• References SMACNA for construction and material specifications
• LEV design in the case of multiple tanks• 2-column format
EnhancementsEnhancements (cont)(cont)
• Emphasizes user’s role in evaluating cyanide hazard
• Expands discussion of preventive maintenance for OST ventilation systems
• Audit form to assist in compliance with the standard
Acid cleaning line and exhaust hoodAcid cleaning line and exhaust hood
Use Combination of Control MethodsUse Combination of Control Methods
Consider a combination of control approaches to reduce exposures below acceptable limits:
• Substitution• Isolation• Automation• Local exhaust ventilation• Automatic tank covers
Multiple TanksMultiple Tanks
• The user shall take into account the effect on emissions and controls when multiple tanks are in close proximity to one another.
• Where many tanks are in a room, the design air flowrate added together may create significant turbulence.
• Hemeon design method may be better suited with multiple tanks
MaintenanceMaintenance
• Ventilation systems need to be designed for preventive maintenance.
• Clean-outs that allow access to ductwork, plenums and slots for cleaning and preventive maintenance should be provided.
• A periodic maintenance schedule should include for example: -Monthly- Open and clean the slots-Quarterly- Inspect all system hoods, plenums, ductwork, fans and air pollution control devices
Maintenance Maintenance (cont)(cont)
-Every six months- Open the fan motor housing and check the belt to make sure it is tight and not slipping
Results from a study of a furniture stripping operation over 7 years showed lack of access and poor maintenance reduced exhaust volumes by 2/3 and increased exposures 5 fold. Upgrading the ventilation system to include easier access and cleanouts improved the LEV performance to its original state.
