Process Description: Neutralization System

The document describes a neutralization system for a facility that uses chlorine gas cylinders. The system would neutralize contaminated air in the event of a chlorine gas leak or failure. It works by using pumps to spray a mixture of water and sodium hydroxide from nozzles, creating a blanket that neutralizes the chlorine through a chemical reaction forming salt and water. The main components are a tank, pumps, nozzles, and a solenoid valve controlled by a panel that activates if chlorine is detected.
