HAZARDOUS LOCATION ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT BOUNDARIES
Prepared By Scott Stookey - Technical Consultant to PIas2Fue1 Corporation
introduction
PIas2Fuel Corporation (P2F) utilizes a proprietary process that extracts aliphatic hydrocarbons from recycled
plastics. This is accomplished using a Plastic Recovery Unit (PRU). Each PRU creates ho t vapor that is routed to
synthetic crude oil condenser that condenses the vapor into crude oil emulsion using water. A single condenser
contains no more than 40 gallons of synthetic crude oil emulsion. The synthetic crude oil emulsion is pumped via
a closed piping system to an outdoor 800 gallon vertical aboveground oil settling tank for final processing and
subsequent transfer to an exterior 12,000 gallon horizontal aboveground storage tank. The synthetic crude oil is
transferred by a pump and hose to a DOT 406 tank vehicle for transportation and sale to a refinery.
Hazardous Locations (HAZLOC) are areas of a system in which electrical equipment is classified to ensure that
when it is properly specified and installed, it does not constitute a potential source of ignition. Requirements for
the classification and installation of HAZLOC equipment are set forth in Oregon State Fire Code (2006
international Fire. Code (IFCJ) Chapter 34, and Articles 500 through 504 of NFPA 70; National Electrical Code
(NEC). This analysis is based on the 2008 edition of the NEC. Supplemental criterion in the 2004 edition of NFPA
497, Recommended Practice for the Classification of Flammable Liquids, Gases, or Vapors and of Hazardous
(Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas and NFPA 499, Classification of
Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical installations in Chemical Process Areas,
2007 edition was also utilized.
NEC Section 500.4(A) requires all areas d esignatedas hazardous locations be properly documented. This
documentation must be made available to those authorized to design, install, inspect, maintain or operate
electrical equipment at the location. HAZLOCs are classified in the P2F system are based on the properties of the
flammable vapor, vapor produced by synthetic crude oil and vapors produced by the oil -water emulsion.
The P2F process is divided into seven separate sections for the purpose of assigning hazardous location electrical
equipment boundaries. Separating the equipment and its associated components allows for analysis to
determine if hazardous location boundaries need to be established for each of the major operating elements in
the P2F process and is allowed by NEC Section 500.5(A).
Hazardous Location Ectuinment Designation
In its finished form synthetic crude oil is classified as a Class IB flammable liquid in accordance with Section
3402.1 of the 2006 IFC. Synthetic crude oil has a vapor density of 3 -5, based on the P2F synthetic crude oil MSDS,
making the vapor heavier- than -air. Based on this classification, electrical equipment that is selected for use in a
location where it could become an ignition source shall be listed for Class 1 locations and the material
classification is Group D in accordance with NEC Section 500.6(A)(4).
NFPA 497 requires the process be evaluated based on the relative magnitude of a flammable liquid vapor
release. NFPA 497 allows the hazardous location classification to be limited to the process equipment or the
entire plant depending on the magnitude of a release. Based on the NFPA 497 criterion, all release scenarios in
the P2F system processing the synthetic crude oil are treated as being even smaller because of the release

amounts, pressure and flow rates are much smaller than criterion in NFPA 497. The NFPA 497 criterion for a low
magnitude (small) release and the comparable P2F process variables are:
• Size of System: < 5,000. gallons (Note: The maximum throughput of a single condenser connected to 4
PRUs cannot generate > 45 G PM of synthetic crude oil emulsion)
• Pressure: < 100 PSIG (Note: The P2F system operates at vacuum pressure)
• Flow Rate: < 100 GPM (Note: Each PRU operating at optimum peak capacity can produce a maximum of
11 gallons of synthetic crude oil /minute)
When possible, P2F uses simple electrical apparatus so the equipment does not constitute a source of ignition.
NEC Section 504.2 states simple apparatus is an electrical component or combination of components well
defined electrical parameters that do not generate more than 1.5 volts, 100 milliamps, and 25 milliwatts, or a
passive component that does not dissipate more than 1.3 watts. Simple apparatus are intrinsically safe systems
and are allowed in accordance with NEC Article 504.
Hazardous Location Analysis by Operating Element
The analysis of the P2F process is divided into seven interconnected operating elements:
• Direct Contact Cartridge
• Condenser
• Oil Settling Tank
• Synthetic Crude Oil Storage Tank
• Synthetic Crude Oil Transfer Pump and Hose
• Direct Contact Cartridge Cleaning Room
• Cargo Tank Vehicle Loading Pad
In addition to the review of each operating element of the P2F system, a process summary and process hazard
analysis was developed based on the discussion between P2F management and their technical consultant, a
review of equipment shop drawings, and process flow diagrams. The following summarizes the area location
classification based on the analysis.

Notes
1. P2F has analyzed the DCC carbon and carbon black residual materials in accordance with ASTM D3175,
Standard Test Method for Volatile Matter in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke, 1989. NFPA 499
Section 3.3.4.2 states that carbonaceous dusts are considered to be Group F materials when their
particle size is < 420 p.M and dusts contains more than 8 percent total entrapped volatiles when tested
in accordance with ASTM D3175. Assay samples by P2F have found that samples tested in accordance
with ASTM D3175 have a volatile content of 5.59% as received in the testing laboratory. Second, carbon
is not a regulated material in NFPA 499. Therefore, it has been concluded that the DCC Cleaning Room is
a Nonclassified Room in accordance with the NEC.
2. The previous Paint Room is a Class I, Group D, Division 1 hazardous location in accordance with NEC
Article 516. This room has been declassified as a Nonclassified Room, based on the analysis for the
carbon and carbon black. P2F will maintain the current electrical equipment in good operating condition
and in compliance with Articles 500 and 501 of the NEC. When equipment is replaced, P2F will remove
the Hazardous (Classified) Location equipment and replace it with conventional Nonclassified location
electrical equipment.

The boundary area is based on the vapor density of the hot gasified plastic ( >1) and
that as the vapor is released, it will condense and vapors will sink to the floor.

The process generates less than 25 pounds vapor /minute, which equates to about 4
gallons /minute of equivalent vapor. Based on Figure 5.9.1 (c) of NFPA 497, a 80%
reduction in the Division 2 boundary is justified. The total equivalent gallon /volume of

Basis for Division 2
Boundary: The boundary
area is based on the vapor
density of the hot gasified
plastic ( >1) and that as
the vapor is released, it
will condense and vapors
will sink to the floor.
The process generates
Tess than 25 pounds
vapor /minute, which
equates to about 4
gallons /minute of
equivalent vapor. Based
on Figure 5.9.1 (c) of
NFPA 497, a 80%
reduction in the Division 2
boundary is justified. The
total equivalent
