Managing Pyrophoric Iron Risks
Pyrophoric iron is a highly reactive material that forms during industrial processes, such as oil and gas operations, particularly in produced water and equipment exposed to sulfur compounds. When exposed to air, pyrophoric iron can ignite spontaneously, posing significant risks to worker safety, facility operations, and environmental compliance.
