Popcorn Polymers in Butadiene Extraction Units

Several aspects disturb operation of industrial facilities which can cause severe impact on their efficiency and productivity. In some cases, the expose to serious safety concerns. Therefore, Industrial should always plan invest in reliability sustainability daily operation. Polymerization is one unavoidable risks that be unpredictable several issues operating facilities. On other hand, effective proactive plans addressed minimize eliminate polymerization risks. This article provides introductory information about butadiene “Popcorn polymers”, formation mechanism, associated hazard, control mitigation methodologies.
