Gas Cylinder Storage in Research Facilities and Hospitals - February 2010
Benbow Environmental’s specialist knowledge of chemical management led to the Principal Consultant designing internal gas cylinder storage areas for combinations of gases:
- Hydrogen and LPG
- Inert compressed gases
- Liquefied gas
New standards of storage rooms and safeguards were developed as a result of the need to ensure risk levels were negligible.
One of these facilities uses a Cyclotron for radioactive pharmaceuticals and this unique opportunity has been rewarded by being a part of the design of Australia’s latest research hospital.
