How should a room housing the gas chlorination feed system be designed?

The design of a room housing the gas chlorination feed system should prioritize safety and the effective management of chlorine gas, which is denser than air. Ventilating the room near the floor is crucial because if there is a gas leak, the heavier chlorine gas will accumulate near the ground. Proper ventilation at this level helps ensure that any potential gas buildup can be efficiently dissipated, reducing the risk of harmful exposure to personnel.

In addition, this ventilation strategy aligns with safety standards for environments where potentially hazardous gases are present. It allows for the movement of air and helps to prevent the hazardous conditions that could arise from the accumulation of chlorine gas.

Other designs, such as ventilation near the ceiling, completely sealing the room, or keeping it unventilated, do not effectively address the specific dangers posed by chlorine gas and could lead to unsafe situations, making them less appropriate options for the system's housing.
