What did you accomplish today?

Man, I'm even ashamed to write. I read and realize that I'm just doing degradation. Many people are working, doing useful things. One me, resting and downloading video games from the pirate bay play and do nothing else. I have already tried to get rid of this groundhog day, but unfortunately it has not worked out yet.

Compressor building at gas extraction plant. Uses enough electricity to run a large mall, with the chillers.

Different gasses like Argon (blue piping is nitrogen) extracted at various high pressures, then turned into liquid bulk at secondary pumps.
They fill tractor trailer loads 24/7, then you have to watch out for vapor clouds and blowouts, keep an eye on flashing lights for oxygen levels.:shock:

Processing mixed gasses? No warning signs?

Industrial accidents happen in the blink of an eye.

Oxygen is not flammable, but it can cause other materials that burn to ignite more easily and to burn far more rapidly. The result is that a fire involving oxygen can appear explosive-like.

Argon itself does not burn. CONTAINERS MAY EXPLODE IN FIRE. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Argon may react explosively with liquid NITROGEN.

On vaporization Nitrogen expands by a factor of 700; one liter of liquid nitrogen becomes 24.6 cubic feet of nitrogen gas. This can cause explosion of a sealed container, or it can displace oxygen in the room and cause suffocation without warning.

You bake. Try finding the net results for the deadly explosions from flour and corn starch refining at NARCO, "North American Refractories Company" in White Cloud , Michigan. In Newaygo County. Lost a cousins husband. Nothing online.

Everything will kill you!

And why could I not type refractories? LOL.

Exploding from pressure and combustion are different. You posted a cigarette being flicked.

Ever hear a bunch of CO2 bottles pop their burst disc? Damn new guys :lol:

Coca Cola Bottling Company had a small fire in their Butterworth Street facility while we were painting the building. Several hundred vented. Thankfully. And dozens succumbed to CO2 poisoning.

Ever see an acetylene tank go through cinder block walls ans a steel roof to embed in your high school parking lot?

Yes that's called asphyxiation. Still different. And yes I've definitely seen videos while in school of big problems.
