RIYADH: Saudi Aramco's Haradh Gas Plant has pioneered the use of Concrete Canvas (CC) in the construction of a
pyrophoric treatment area, the works for which were carried out by Saudi-based Freih Bin Owaidha Al Qahtani Sons Co Ltd (FOQSCO).
A chemical that is
pyrophoric (UN GHS Hazard H250) is also a flammable liquid (UN GHS Hazard H228).
These materials are
pyrophoric, ie these react very violently with the oxygen in the air, so that fire phenomena occur.
Open flames and
pyrophoric chemicals expose laboratory workers to high risk potentials, and the handling of toxic, corrosive or flammable liquids is routine.
Pyrophoric materials are substances which have an auto ignition temperature which is below room temperature.
Pyrophoric substances such as iron sulfide auto-ignite in the presence of oxygen in an extremely exothermic reaction.
Some include enhancements such as additional fragmentation or
pyrophoric, chemical, biological, and radiological materials, which increase the bomb's lethality or its explosive, incendiary, or psychological effect.
