MI Program Management
• Monthly report of MI metrics (KPI’s)
• Management of change: an important tool to manage MI
program deviation
• MI program audits
• PSM plant committee to follow up program items and gaps
• IT tools supporting the PSM/MI program: SGI, SAP

� Painting program is an important issue for the success of the MI program
� Corrosion under insulation is another important concern
� MI must be a plant priority to keep the operation reliable and safe
� Dedicated PSM engineer is also recommended
� PSM: a commitment for the entire organization
� Top management must support the overall PSM program

1. Hydrogen concentration in chlorine gas streams must be monitored and controlled to
prevent forming an explosive mixture. Hydrogen must be kept below the lower
explosive limit (LEL) of hydrogen in chlorine at all times.
2. Nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) is an unstable compound that can self detonate at relatively
low concentrations. Very small quantities can detonate with tremendous force. Systems
where NCl3 may accumulate or concentrate must be actively monitored and managed
to maintain NCl3 at safe levels.
3. Chlorine will react violently with many different chemicals and materials. It is essential
that all equipment, piping, and valves be properly cleaned and dried for chlorine
service before introducing any chlorine into the system.
4. Chlorine will react with many metals, especially at elevated temperatures. It is critical
that the material of construction be consistent with the operating conditions and that
excessive external heat is not applied to chlorine containing systems.
5. Dry chlorine will react violently with titanium. Systems must be in place to protect
titanium equipment from exposure to dry chlorine and insure titanium is not used in
dry chlorine service.

NR-13: Brazilian regulation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051202/5a78ee097f8b9a83238e8809/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
6. Many grades of carbon steel can be become brittle when exposed to temperatures
below -20 °F. It is essential that low temperature carbon steel or a suitable alloy is used
for continuous operation below -20°F.
7. Moisture in dry chlorine systems will increase carbon steel corrosion rates which can
become dangerously rapid at high levels. Additionally the possibility of generating
hydrogen exists. Moisture concentrations must be continuously monitored and
controlled using moisture analyzers and drying systems.
8. Oxygen in hydrogen systems must be monitored and controlled to prevent forming an
explosive mixture. Extreme care must be used around hydrogen compressors to ensure
air is not pulled into the system during operation.
9. Liquid chlorine has a high coefficient of expansion. Any system where the threshold
amount of liquid chlorine can be trapped must have expansion protection.
10. An electrolytic cell line has the capability to produce a fatal electrical shock. Cell line
working procedures must be clearly understood and followed by everyone entering the
“Cell Line Working Zone”.
