Bad result or not if Ethylene oxide react with water
Bad result or not if Ethylene oxide react with water
(OP)
Sory to bother you this trivail.
Ethaonlamine are produce by reaction of ethylene oxice and ammonia. The water increases the reaction rate of EO with ammonia and amines so water can be considerd as a catalyst for reaction. If using water instead of air to purge the EO pipe in the commisioning phase, is possible the remaining EO in the pipe may cause exoplision
Or something dangerous situation?
Thank you so much for your help.

I don't put clear.
Not using water or air to purge the EO pipe when there is EO
running in the pipe.
I plan to use either air/water to purge the EO pipe before it start up.
Thank you so much.

You probably want to use Nitrogen to purge the line, or you might be able to use oxygen depleted flue gas. It would be best if you dried the lines before use, using squeege pigs or hot air.
