Why do you have to post in 2 forums? Since you just joined, it would be nice if you take time to read the rules.

Ravi,
There are various options, but you do not state what are you looking for?
What is the current method of charging NaOH? You can have varities from a FCV to a pressurized pt, etc? I think more details would help us evaluate it.

Good Luck

Currently NaH is being charged by dropping NaH polybags into the reactor through the reactor manhole but the process is quite risky as there are chances of it getting into contact with moisture from atmosphere or water.

What i'm looking for is a safer method which won't involve manual charging of NaH..pls help and thanks for the reply.
