Propylene Valve Shutoff
About Propylene (CH2CHCH3)
Propylene is a colorless gas with an olefin odor at standard temperature and pressure.
It is a simple asphyxiant and is very flammable. Skin contact with evaporating liquid
propylene can cause local freezing and frostbite.
Propylene is used in the manufacture of plastics and in biodegradable, non-toxic
antifreeze. It is shipped in pressurized gas cylinders, ton containers, and tank cars.
Synonym: Propene
Accidental Release of Propylene
In the event of an accidental release of propylene, it is important to remove any
sources of ignition and to shut off the source of the gas.
Powell Emergency Valve Closure Systems are designed to prevent significant releases
of hazardous gases like propylene. In the case of an accidental release, the emergency
shutdown system will immediately close the container valve, effectively preventing
further release regardless of where it occurs downstream.
It is possible to prevent an accidental release of propylene.
