Runaway Reactions – Their Course and Methods for the Choice and Design of Safe Processes. Literature about runaway reactions is usually concerned with the consequences of explosions such as destruction and emission of hazardous and inflammable substances. DIERS literature describes methods for the design of relief orifices for which experimental studies are necessary. Only few data are available relating to the course of runaway reactions, which, more‐over, are also attributable to variety of causes. The present report describes the various process deviations which can trigger a thermal explosion. In addition, the determination of the necessary data and considerations for risk analysis and for the development of inherently safe processes and for lessening the consequences of thermal explosions are discussed. Any possible dangerous process deviation is illustrated with the aid of examples and experimental data obtained in laboratory experiments. The various dangerous process states which can lead to a thermal explosion are thus subjected to systematic study.
