Control Thermal Runaway and Chemical Reaction Hazards

Thermal process safety is about ensuring that chemical reactions in a manufacturing facility are kept under control, so thermal runaway does not occur, and explosions are avoided. In chemical processing, raw materials react together to produce the final product. When these materials meet, they may generate heat – an exothermic reaction

Workplace Safety and Health: THERMAL RUNAWAY

Apr 18, 2014 Effects of thermal runaway A runaway exothermic reaction can have a range of results from the boiling over of the reaction mass, to large increases in temperature and pressure that lead to an explosion. Such violence can cause blast and missile damage. If flammable materials are released, fire or a secondary explosion may result
