6 .3 Chemical Storage <br /> 6 . 3 . 1 Acids <br /> Liquid acids are normally received in plastic 5 or 55 <br /> gallon containers and are stored in the acid side of the <br /> Chem Stores Area. Solid acids are packaged in either <br /> sealed plastic-lined fabric bags or sealed plastic bags <br /> within fiber board cartons and are stored in the Dry <br /> Chemical Storage area. <br /> 6 . 3 . 2 Bases <br /> Liquid bases (alkalies ) are normally received in plastic <br /> 5 or 55 gallon containers and are stored in the base side <br /> of the Chem Stores Area. Solid bases are packaged in <br /> either sealed plastic-lined fabric bags or sealed plastic <br /> bags within fiber board cartons and are stored in the Dry <br /> Chemical Storage area. <br /> 6 . 3 . 3 Flammables <br /> These chemicals are normally flammable or combustible <br /> liquids and are received in either plastic or metal <br /> drums . They are stored in the flammables storage area. <br /> Anti-static grounding cables and pumps are used when <br /> dispensing these liquids . <br /> 6 . 3 . 4 Oxidizers <br /> Liquid oxidizers (except nitric acid) are normally <br /> received in plastic 55 gallon containers and are <br /> currently stored in the acid side of the Chem Stores <br /> Area. Nitric acid is dispensed in bulk and is currently <br /> stored in the drum storage area with containment in an <br /> elevated 300 gallon stainless steel tank. Solid <br /> oxidizers are packaged in either sealed plastic bags <br /> within fiberboard cartons or 5 gallon metal drums and are <br /> stored in the Dry Chemical Storage area. <br /> Plans are currently underway to build a separate covered <br /> Oxidizer Storage area. This will hold both the liquid <br /> and solid oxidizers. <br />
