Identifying hazardous conditions for compression heat ignition of the chemically unstable gas Tetrafluoroethylene at an industrial scale

Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is an industrial scale starting material e.g. for polymer production (PTFE, FEP). When ignited the chemically unstable TFE is capable of decomposing in an explosive way. Explosion propagation through pipe systems of production plants have led to damage and fatalities within...
