From page 188...
... Similar observations can be made for solid wastes that cannot be released until agent concentrations in adjacent gas spaces are below allowable levels. The technology provider will also have to ensure that agent does not condense, adsorb, or otherwise accumulate on the internal surfaces of the GPCR offgas hold-test-release tanks, where it would not be detected in the gas analysis but could subsequently revaporize upon depressunzation and venting to the boiler fuel system.
