Hydrogen Bromide Handling

Hydrogen Bromide Handling

Hydrogen Bromide Handling

(OP)
Hi

Iam currently involved in a small project for unloading HBR in polykegs or 1000l IBCs into a storage vessel for subsequent use.  I have heard that the vessel requires inert gas blanketing to prevent GRP or lining corrosion because of oxidation to free Bromine.  Also any vent may require an acid scrubber.

Can anyone provide me with any practical experience/comment.

regards.

RE: Hydrogen Bromide Handling

Google brings several MSDS for HBR worthy of reading.

Contact Albemarle Corporation in Baton Rouge, LA.
We produce, sell, and use HBr and Bromine and have extensive handling experience with both.  Handling HBr is not a trivial task.  Our tech service reps will be glad to provide safe handling brochures and can also put you contact with our engineers for further assistance.
