Table 12. Additional Recommended Design Features for Chemical Mixing Systems

Chemical form

Design feature	Recommendations
Location/shelter	Locate mixing and working solution tanks in an enclosed, heated area, particularly if sub-freezing temperatures are encountered during operation.
Spill prevention	Provide equipment to enable safe, controlled manipulation of ingredient drums and bags. Provide equipment for transferring drum and bag contents with minimum worker contact and minimum spill potential.
Ventilation	Provide an efficient scrubbing system for the mix tank to minimize emissions. If wet scrubbers are used, they should be designed for recycling and reuse of scrubber fluid.
Unloading drums or totes	Provide adequate equipment for safe, controlled handling of the containers.
