At first if you don’t succeed, try again. Definitely a big difference from the original black died concrete. Next project is diamond plate going up around all curbs!
Housekeeping is extremely important and a system that does not look well maintained most likely is not well maintained. Here are some things you can look for when entering a compressor room that has process equipment:
- The area should not have an ammonia odor
- The area should be well lit
- The area should be clean and free of debris, puddles, etc…
- The area should not be used for bulk storage
- The equipment and piping should be clearly labeled
- The equipment should be free of visible corrosion
- The equipment should be free of excessive ice build-up
- Ammonia detectors should be in working order and free of obstruction
- Air intake for ventilation should be clean and free of obstruction
- The safety shower/eye wash should be clean and the path to it unobstructed
- and much more…
