Two explicit, named gas-release hazards govern this control system: dropping batch-process pH below 11 risks improper cyanide-to-cyanate oxidation (acid injection must be manually locked out to prevent it), and in the two-step process, stage-1 pH must be adjusted rapidly or it risks releasing extremely toxic cyanogen chloride gas — both are vendor-stated safety hazards, not tuning suggestions.
Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
