Potential sources of ignition, which can cause EO vapours to
explode, are decomposing acetylides, static electricity, and excess heat.
Exposure of an uninsulated or uncooled vessel containing EO to fire is one of
the most serious initiations of explosions.
Improper and casual design of safety measures can result in release
of large quantity of flammable vapours. EO vapours have the potential to cause
vapour cloud explosion, the most dangerous and destructive explosions in
chemical process industry.
