Over pressurization can lead to catastrophic failures in industrial settings. The potential dangers include:
- Equipment Damage: High pressure can cause reactors, pipes, and other equipment to rupture. - Safety Hazards: Escaping gases or chemicals pose risks to human health and the environment. - Operational Downtime: Resulting from damage and the need for repairs, leading to economic losses. - Explosion Risks: In extreme cases, over pressurization can cause explosions, leading to severe destruction and loss of life.
