Maximize protection against fires and explosions in drycleaning plants with NFPA 32!

NFPA 32 prescribes safeguards intended to prevent fires and explosions involving drycleaning processes and to minimize the personal injury and property damage consequences of such incidents.

Up-to-date with the latest practices and technology, the 2007 edition of this Standard includes:

• New and modified definitions that help AHJs and users more accurately classify tanks
• New options for increasing the maximum concentration to 60% or below of the LEL with adequate automatic instrumentation and safety interlocks in accordance with NFPA 69: Explosion Prevention Systems
• New requirements for drycleaning using nonflammable liquefied gases in pressure vessels, including, but not limited to, carbon dioxide solvent
• New provisions covering laundry equipment in drycleaning plants

Requirements are outlined by type of plant, which is determined by the solvent in use.
