Hydrogen Gas
The following technical data has been used to calculate the
specific amount of hydrogen gas which is generated during the
Electroline descaling process: One pound of Magnesium will produce:
- 37.61 grams of hydrogen gas
- 2 grams of hydrogen occupies 22.4 liters
One foot of Electroline (0.23 Lbs.) will produce:
- 8.65 grams of hydrogen gas
- 8.65 grams of hydrogen = 96.88 liters
- 96.88 liters = 3.42 cu. ft. of hydrogen
Assuming a minimum of seven days for total consumption, one foot of
Electroline will produce 0.488 cu. ft. of gas per day, or 0.0203 cu.
ft. per hour.
 For example, 10,000 linear feet of Electroline will
generate a total of 203 cu. ft. of hydrogen gas per hour, or 3.38
cu. ft. per minute. Considering that the gas is constantly venting to
the atmosphere, it is highly unlikely that 3.38 cu. ft. per minute will
accumulate to the extent where it will not easily dissipate. The
amount of hydrogen gas generated from this process can be
considered truly negligible, provided normal venting is available
and standard tanker safety precautions are observed.
