NFPA 36(04)
Solvent Extraction Plants

$45.00

Apply the latest guidelines for fire safety at extraction plants!

NFPA 36 provides requirements for fire-safe design and operation of solvent extraction plants, facilities that use hydrocarbon solvents to extract oils from agricultural commodities such as oil-bearing seeds.

Provisions address:

  • The extraction process and facility
  • Storage and handling of the solvent
  • Operations involved in preparing raw material (meal) for processing
  • Means for conveying the oil and processed solids from the extraction facility
  • Conducting repairs when extraction equipment is operating and when it is shut down and purged of hydrocarbon vapors
Changes to the 2004 edition of NFPA 36 include:

  • Better correlation with NFPA 30: Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code regarding transfer of liquids
  • Clarification of effluent handling under emergency conditions
  • An exception to allow installation of an automatic pressure control valve in the extractor vent line
  • Addition of iso-hexane as a recognized solvent for the extraction process, including physical property data
  • Format and editorial changes that improve readability and facilitate easier referencing
