8 IL Admin Code 215 AmmoniaStorage Tank UpgradeCompliance GuideEffective July 1 2016, the State of Illinois upgraded their NH3 storagerequirements and put them into law. Some of these new laws areeffective immediately and some have a due date as soon as 2020.Gas Equipment Company has all the necessary components andindustry-leading experience to get your facilities up to standard, aswell as making it the most efficient and SAFEST operation possible.

We have included an illustration of an ammonia bulk plant with areashighlighted that may need to change to meet compliance (You shouldreview all state and local requirements with your local authority having juris-diction). We also included: A numbered component cross reference chart linked tothe new requirements on the illustration, parts detail pages, a nurse tank guide and astorage tank design guide on the last page. You can complete this guide to determineif any additional repairs or upgrades need to be made as well as meeting the newIllinois laws. Even though some of the deadlines are still a few years away, they willbe here before you know it. This edition of GEC Solutions will help you prepare.

For 80 years GasEquipment Companyhas offered the bestequipment avail-able from aselect group of premier manufacturers. With branch warehousesthroughout the Midwest, we provide same day service and ournationwide warehouses are all linked, offering you immediate prod-uct availability. Most importantly, our staff knowledge and expe-rience is unmatched in the industry. We offer a free inspectionof your facilities and equipment.

WIRELESS EMERGENCY SHUTDOWNRadio Remote Control (Part# ASK1F1WAX200A-AC)Designed specifically for Anhydrous Ammonia Plants, our Remote Emergency Shutdown system was developed to eliminate costly hard-wiringof manual emergency-shutdown switches. Any number of radio transmitter units can be installed within 1000 ft of a receiver control unit. Thesystem is designed to work in conjunction with existing or new plant safety equipment and is easily installed. The ASK system can also beordered to work in conjunction with our Truck Remote Units if required. Transmitter devices are low-voltage intrinsically safe units suitable foruse in Class 1, Div 2, Group “D” hazardous environments. Transmitter batteries will last three-four years and have a test feature and low bat-tery alarm. Remote stop-switch is rugged non-sparking cast aluminum and is fully sealed against extreme weather and temperature condi-tions. Receiver units are designed to easily interface and trip electrical, pneumatic, nitrogen, or mechanical plant shut-off equipment. Systemsare pretested and shipped with a detailed installation guide and schematics. A four-year full replacement warranty and 24/7 lifetime productsupport is included.

Smart-Hose assemblies are designed and engineered with avalve integrated in each end fitting. If the hose assembly expe-riences a catastrophic hose failure, the Smart-Hose SafetySystem is designed to instantaneously shut off the flow in bothdirections. Designed as a passive safety device, the Smart-Hose Safety System needs no human intervention to activate.

The Smart-Hose Safety System is integrated intoNH3/Anhydrous Ammonia transfer hose assemblies anddesigned to meet the most rugged applications found in theFertilizer Industry. All NH3/Anhydrous Ammonia transfer hose

assemblies are designed to meet DOT HM 225 Standards.
