Plasma Coating Removal: a Safety and Industrial Hygiene Analysis

The Atmospheric Plasma Coating Removal (APCR) process provides a unique new way to quickly and safely remove the toughest industrial coatings. As with any new process a thorough examination of the possible risks to the end users and the environment is critical. APS hired an environmental testing facility to conduct a series of experiments and provide an assessment of noise, dust, and select chemicals to determine the safety of the APCR process.

The Atmospheric Plasma Coating Removal (APCR) process provides a unique new way to quickly and safely remove the toughest industrial coatings. As with any new process a thorough examination of the possible risks to the end users and the environment is critical. APS hired an environmental testing facility to conduct a series of experiments and provide an assessment of noise, dust, and select chemicals to determine the safety of the APCR process. The project examined two operational modes of the APCR process: the in-use case, in which the device is being used to actively remove coatings from steel and the static case, in which the device was fired continuously into air without treating a surface. Direct-Reading tests for gases (Ozone, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, and Nitrogen Oxides) were performed over the 4-hour testing period. Area noise levels, both inside and outside the testing area, were recorded and chemical samples were collected for laboratory analysis for Aluminum, Copper, Hydrogen Cyanide, Total Hydrocarbons, Respirable Dust, Total Dust, and Sulfur Dioxide.
