Do plants ever have installed systems of fans or blowers to disperse an inadvertent release of inflammable gas? I've heard it mentioned that this might be done on some offshore rigs.

Could this approach minimise the chances of explosion following an accidental release? Could it increase the chances by putting air into the cloud?

Some platforms activate the deluge system upon detection of confirmed toxic gas. Some may activate the deluge system upon confirmed combustible gas.
