I am working in a Butadien Extraction Unit. Can you tell me the major safety aspects to be considered in a Butadien Plant?

In addition to everything else relating to light hydrocarbons, butadiene will auto polymerize on standing in piping and tankage unless maintained below about 50F and treated with inhibitor. The polymerization is autothermal and will 'run-away' to explosive condition if not checked and prevented.

"1.Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. No
smoking. Use only non-sparking tools. Use only explosion-proof equipment.
2. Ensure equipment is adequately grounded.
3. Leak-check system with soapy water; never use a flame.
4. Wear leather safety gloves and safety shoes when handling cylinders. Protect cylinders from
physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. While moving cylinder, always keep in place
a removable valve cover. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap is intended solely to
protect the valve. When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand
truck, etc.) designed to transport cylinders. Never insert any object (e.g, wrench, screwdriver,
pry bar) into cap openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an
adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Open the valve slowly. If the
valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier. Close the container valve
after each use; keep closed even when empty. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to
any part of the container. High temperatures may damage the container and could cause the
pressure relief device to activate prematurely, venting the container contents. For other
precautions in using this product."
