Andrews - Sarnie C. W. Brannan - Plaquemine K. Burmelster - Tessenderlo D. G. Flood * Sarnia G. C. Kools - Plaquemine A. J. Seidule - Plaquemine B. G. Shamburger - Plaquemine DUST EXPLOSIONS SUMMARY Over the past fifteen years, extensive data has been generated on the explosive t ndency of high density polyethylene powder. This data has been generated both int rnally from the Dow slurry process and externally for polyethylene dust. Additional data has been obtained correlating the effects of hexane in the parts per million range and the effect of particle size on the explosive tendencies of the "dust". This information is included in the attached report. Some of the data previously generated is Included in Appendix I. The data compares several variables in the process and analytical'techniques in the d veloproent of explosive tendencies of polyethylene dust. During the last few y ars, the use of a'Dust Material Constant, Kst, originally developed by Donat and Bartnecht (units of Kst are Bars-meters/sec) has been used to calculate the area required for explosion vents. The calculated values of this constant Kst is given with much of the data. It is important to remember that the presence of low concentrations (0-1000 ppm) hexane will greatly influence the rate of pressure rise in a polyethylene "dust" explosion and must be considered in the sizing of the explosion vents. Variables reviewed in the data in the appendix include: A. Effect of Test Apparatus Size and Geometry on the Dust Explosion Tendencies Container Geometry Volume of Container-1 Maximum Rate of Pressure psi/sec Cylinder-Hartmann Sphere Sphere Sphere 1.2 1.2 20 1000 1290 1841 1610 972 The U.S. Bureau of Mines has used the Hartmann test apparatus with a strong ignition source - a wtre at 1700*F with an energy input of 0.125 to 0.4 joules.

Evaluation of the effect of hexane on the explosive tendencies of HOPE powder. 2. Effect of powder particle size on the explosive tendencies. 3. Explosive characteristics of powder made with Type II B alkoxide catalyst. All tests were made using the Standard Hartmann testing unit by the Instrument Methods Group in Midland. Discussion of Results A. Effect of Hexane on the Explosive Characteristics Samples of Type i Alkoxide powder produced on Train IV, April 8, 1980 were used in these tests. The particle size distribution of the powder was broad ranging from 10 microns to 600 microns with a volume median diameter of 148 microns. Particle size distribution is included in Appendix II. The hexane concentration in the air was varied using 0, 100, 500, and 1000 ppm in the -Jests. Datafrom these tests are given in.Table land Figure I. - Based upon this data the conclusions are: 1. The addition of hexane over the range studied does not change the explosive limits of the powder which varies between 0.08 and 2.40 oz/ft3. 2. The higher hexane content in the powder will increase the rate of pressure rise especially at the lower powder concentration - 0.08 to 1.0 oz/ft3. Therefore a relief system must function faster when hexane is present. This will linearly effect the Kst used for sizing explosion vents. 3. The maximum pressure released from an explosion is not effected by the presence of hexane at the concentrations studied. The amount f fuel present remains approximately constant. 4. The reduction of explosion intensity by the higher levels of hexane at loading of 2.4 oz/ft3 cannot be explained but is reproducible. 5. These tests also showed that using this procedure a gas mixture containing 1000 ppm wtll burn if a hot source of ignition is availabl The flame from this ignition will not propagate through the vessel nor will it continue to burn when the heat source Is removed. (Explosive limits of hydrocarbon are defined as the range over which a flame will propagate). This data was reviewed with Reid Tait - 438 Bldg. - Midland. He indicated this was common for hydrocarbon mixtures to ignite well below the Lower Expl sive Limit in a Hartman test instrument when a high energy source is used. He also emphasized there would not be ignition of the mixture when a spark was used as the source of the ignition. Similar data for hydrogen and ethylen were request d. ^ONFTDFNT RATE OF PRESSURE RISE PSI/SEC Oust Explosion Potential of HOPE Powders Page 2 B. Effect of Particle Size Powder made with Aikoxide Type I catalyst used in the tests determining the effect of hexane was screened with the material passing a 200 mesh screen tested to determine the particle size on the explosive tendencies. As expected, the finer particle size increases the rate of pressure rise to double or triple the previous values but again does not effect the maximum pressure. Data is given in Table I and II and shown in Figure B. C. Type II Aikoxide Powder Powder made with Type II B Aikoxide from the pilot plant April 2, 1980 was used in this test. Again the particle size distribution was broad ranging from 10 microns to ^30 microns and the volume median diameter was 163 microns. As expected, because of the larger particle size, the pressure rise was 1/3 to 1/2 of rate of rise of aikoxide Type I powder. Data Is given in Table III.

Chlorine will react violently with many things such as oils, greases, paints, some solvents, etc. It will also react with steel wool, oily filings or pipe cuttings. It -is therefore essential that all foreign jiaterial be removed from chlorine lines and containers before putting chlorine in them. 2. Hot water and/or steam can be used safely to clean chlorine equipment and is strongly recomnended over any solvent. Though carbon tetrachi ride is not reactive with chlorine, it is highly toxic. No solvent, soap or detergent-type material should be used without the approval of a Unit Manager. Under no circumstances should the following materials be used with chlorine prior to further testing and consultation with the Reactive Chemicals Comnittee. In general, hydrocarbons and silicones should not be used in chlorine service without prior testing.

Lubricants For Chlorine Service Only completely halogenated fluorocarbon lubricants are chemically inert in liquid and gaseous chlorine. See section on Lubricants for detail. 4. Chlorine and moisture form hydrochloric and hypochlorous acids that mill attack all common metals including steel if brcwght In contact with it. It .also forms hydrates of iron chloride, which will cause' plugging. 5. Wet chlorine gap may be handled In titanium.equipment at normal tem peratures. The gas must be kept wet as dry chlorine reacts violently with titanium. Dote; All liquid chlorine should be considered as dry chlorine. 6. Chlorine that has-been dried does not react with steel at normal temperatures and is handled and stored in steel equipment. At ordinary temperatures, dry chlorine reacts with aluminum, arsenic, g Id, mercury, selenium, tellurium, tin, and titanium. - Antimony, arsenic, bismuth, boron, copper. Iron, phosphorus, and certain of their alloys, in finely divided, powdered, sponge or wire form igni'te spontaneously in chlorine. 7. Dry chlorine will react violently with hot steel. For this reason, welding must not be done on chlorine lines that have not been iso lated and depressured. Also welding cables must not be ettached to such lines. 8. Chlorine and hydrogen mixtures may react violently anywhere such a mixture occurs. Ultra-violet light such as sunlight can start this reaction. 9. The acid forced by chlorine gas coming in contact with wet skin is - orrosive and should be thoroughly washed off promptly. 10. Liquid chlorine is also dangerous to the skin and In addition can cause tissue damage due to freezing. " , 11. Take-offs should be on the top or side of a chlorine line, not on the b ttom. "Chlorine Gunk" will tend to accumulate and cause plugging 12. All chlorine lines should be supported on shoes and not in contact with other lines. This prevents corrosion and stakes the entire line accessible for painting. Lines containing corrosive material, such as acid, should not be installed above chlorine lines. DO 005291 CONFTDFNTTAl CHLORINE HANDLING PRINCIPLES - cont'd 13. Chlorine systems should be purged with dry eir or dry nitrogen after depressuring to minimize pick up of moisture (and corrosion) in the system. 1&. Any vessel that has contained chlorine must be depressured, purged, blinded off and washed before it is safe to enter. (See Safety Standard 13.) 15* Chlorine equipment that has been washed should be dried.with air or nitrogen until a dqw point of -60F Is reached. 16. Valves that come in contact with water during washing must be dis mantled and dried before they are returned to chlorine service. 17. D not use water on chlorine leaks. Small chlorine leaks can be located with, the use of anmonla water in a plastic squeeze bottle. "Chlorine Gunk" will expel chlorine gas continuously for long periods. Heat will increase the degassing rate. 18. The volume of liquid chlorine Increases considerably with Increasing temperatures. Precautions must be taken to avoid hydrostatic rupture f lines and vessels. Valves that may contain condensed chlorine that may be trapped in the' valve should not be heated with steam. DO 005292 CONFIDENTIAL Metals a. Chlorine and Iron/Carbon Steel Carbon steel piping and equipment are suitable for service in dry chlorine - less than 5 ppm by weight of water in chlorine at temperatures below 155C (311F). Although laboratory data shows that ignition of iron in chlorine occurs at 204-260 C (400-500F) (4$3F in "Safety Data"), a more realistic ignition temperature under compressor operating con ditions is 173 C (347F). See sunnary of LAD-420 pn next page. In the past, chlorine-iron reactions were serious problems. Present alarm and trip systems plus-temperature recording devices have greatly reduced this problem, but the potential remains. Although the reaction is not explosive it Is very vigorous and destroys steel in a very short time. Large quantities of chlorine can be released. To prevent ignition of iron in chlorine service, the iron must be kept below its auto-ignition temperature. Using a 20 safety factor, a MAXIMUM ACCEPTABLE OPERATING TEMPERATURE Is 155C.
