Information to operating areas of the lower and upper class

The ADDCON EUROPE GmbH is specialized on the development and production of feed additives in solid and liquid form. Operating areas include a storage tank, silos for solid materials as well as a storage for liquid and solid raw materials and products with a storage area for “toxic/oxidizing materials”.

Because of handling sodium nitrite is the ADDCON EUROPE GmbH an operator of the lower class of the BImSchV. Sodium nitrite is a white odorless solid, that dissolves readily in water. At temperatures above 330 °C it decomposes to NO and NO2 as well as sodium oxide. Sodium nitrite is oxidizing, the more at higher temperatures and reacts exothermic on contact with aluminium, ammonia salts and many organic compounds. Sodium nitrit can cause serious eye irritations and is acute toxic after oral intake. The substance is listed as water hazardous. Under special conditions sodium nitrite is allowed as preservative (E250) and is used together with sodium chlorid as nitrite salting mix for preserving Meat- and Sausageproducts. Industrial it is an important raw material for producing dyes and is used as additive for rustproofing.

The stored relevant materials are converted through chemical/physical mixing processes into products, that are not relevant for the BImSchV. For all processes exist written operation procedures. The facilities are operated 24/7 in shift-system and by trained employees.

The storage for raw materials and products is equipped with a smoke- and heat exhaust system as well as fire extinguishers. Fire alarms will go off in case of an incident. The factory fire department of Securitas is only 50 m apart from the area. The ADDCON EUROPE GmbH also has a regularly revised alarm plan, in which behavior in emergencies is defined. To avoid incidents and for correct behavior in case of an incident our employees are regularly trained.

The facilities are approved in accordance with BImSchG and all safety requirements.
