Wood preservation facilities, alkaline copper quaternary: chapter G-7

7. Design Recommendations

This section suggests approaches for the design of ACQ wood preservation facilities for protection of workers and the environment from harmful effects. The additional recommendations from Table 10, Table 11, Table 12 and Table 13, are based on “best practices” and must be used in conjunction with the basic design criteria listed in Part I, Chapter A - General Recommendations for All Wood Preservatives, Section 7 and their corresponding tables. All tables of general content from Chapter A, Section 7 must be taken into consideration.

It should be noted that ammonia is highly corrosive to copper and zinc alloys; therefore, pipes, valves, etc. should be made of non-corrosive materials.
