Once the inspection and risk analysis stage in the process was finished, the risk matrices for the visited work centers were carried out, additionally steam values were determined, of the reagents with greater volatility through the Aspen ® simulator, to verify if it met the threshold limit value and maximum weighted concentration (TLV-TWA) according to the PhD. Daniel A. Crowl & PhD. Joseph F. Louvar in his book "Chemical Process Safety Fundamentals with Applications", obtaining as a result that Ethanol, Hydrogen Peroxide and Creoline exceed the limits.
