Abstract
A system and process for the safe supply, distribution, and delivery of a highly volatile and flammable liquid from a contained source of supply of the liquid remote from a closed work environment to a process area within the closed work environment includes a pipeline extending from within the contained supply to the process area within the closed work environment to provide for the delivery of the liquid from the supply to the process area. The system further includes a protective casing spaced from and completely enclosing the pipeline from a point on the pipeline adjacent the process area to a point on the pipeline closely adjacent the pipeline's entry into the closed work environment. The protective casing opens outwardly of the closed work environment to thereby trap within the space existing between the casing and the pipeline any vapors that may be escaping from the liquid within the pipeline for exhausting of the same outwardly of the closed work environment.
