I'm working on a lab space project that has many HPLCs and the accompanying solvent supply and waste containers. The lab is on the second floor of the building. The amount of solvent associated with the HPLCs is causing an issue with the building occupancy classification and could require the room be considered H3. We would like to avoid going to a hazardous area classification and I was wondering if there are container solutions for this scenario that would meet the "closed system" requirements in the building code as I think that's the biggest area to improve on.

Hi,
Consider the link attached:
2 things to consider:
The collection of the chemical and the disposal. Not an easy task.
Note: Probably good to contact vendor of HPLC to get recommendations, among them Agilent, Perkin Elmer.
Good Luck,
Pierre
