Petrochemical Plant: Safe Transport of Trimethylaluminum (TMA)

A petrochemical manufacturer requires secure transportation of trimethylaluminum (UN3394), a pyrophoric liquid used as a catalyst in polyolefin production.
Implementation:

·         The CG1.1S tank is loaded with TMA under nitrogen padding to prevent air exposure.

·         Grounding clamps are attached during transfer to neutralize static charges.

·         The DN25 rupture disc ensures overpressure protection during a 12-hour road transit to the polymer plant.
Outcome: Leak-free delivery with zero ignition incidents, complying with IMDG Code for hazardous land transport.
