MIL-HDBK-1005/9A
2.6.11
Facilities Layout. Layout and plot size of new and
upgraded industrial waste treatment facilities is frequently
dictated by the space available at the base site. These local
guidelines should be followed as long as the resulting facility
layout does not create potentially hazardous or unsafe working
and operating conditions. These conditions can result by
placing cyanide waste treatment units too close to caustic
neutralization units or acid storage, or in potential areas of
leaking pipes and conduits. Adequate space should be allocated
for satisfying chemical storage requirements and safety criteria
for ventilation of fumes and clear space for pipe routes. Space
for laboratory, office, and operating personnel support
facilities should not be sacrificed for more treatment reactor
space.
A suggested layout diagram for a complete industrial
waste treatment facility is shown in Figure 7. This layout is
coordinated with the treatment schematic for NADEP shop
wastewaters (Figure 4). It includes phenol and cyanide
oxidation, chrome reduction, metals precipitation, and co-
mingled waste treatment and sludge dewatering.
2.6.12
Color Coding of Piping Systems. The color code for
identification of piping systems should comply with the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) A13.1, Scheme for the
Identification of Piping Systems recommendations. The color
scheme includes pipe fittings, valves, and pipe coverings, but
excludes pipe supports, brackets, and other accessories, as well
as conduits for solids carried in air or gas. Apply the
following general color scheme to piping systems at waste
treatment facilities. See Table 10 for recommended color coding
for typical piping systems for industrial and domestic
wastewater treatment facilities. These color coding schemes are
applicable only for treatment facilities and do not affect the
coding scheme recommended in MIL-HDBK-1005/8 for pier, wharf,
and drydock utility connections.
2.6.12.1 Federal Safety Red. This classification (ASA Class
F-fire) includes sprinkler systems and other firefighting or
fire protection equipment. Applications include sprinkler
piping, identification and location of fire alarms and boxes,
extinguishers, fire blankets, fire doors, hose connections,
hydrants, and other firefighting equipment.
