Water Wall / HF Mitigation Hydrogen Fluoride Water Wall
The use of toxic gases (for example HF – hydrofluoric acid – as catalyst in the alkylation unit) is very diffused in the refineries and petrochemical industries, a process that produces high-octane gasoline. Their accidental release can cause serious health effects or even death if an individual is exposed to low or to moderate concentrations. However, most of the toxic gases, and in particular HF, are very soluble in water and water mitigation is effective to combat any accidental toxic gas or HF release.
