Scope Of Work
Challenge
The Pharmaceuticals company receives and ships products that are packaged with a chemical called Ethylene Oxide that sterilizes their products. This chemical is potentially harmful when exposed at levels higher than .5 microns for a long period of time. Their shipping and receiving area was registering levels above the designated safe limit.

Special Projects
Services Provided
MSD designed and installed a multi-fan and dampers system, which changes the air 10 times every hour to keep the chemical exposure level within acceptable limits. The system design serviced both the shipping & receiving areas as well as the semi trucks that move the products.
Outcome
After installation, a test was performed to check the levels of Ethylene Oxide. The results came back that the levels of this chemical registered less than .01 micron. Acceptable levels call for .2 microns or less.
