本出版物提醒二氧化碳生产商和工厂运营商注意与二氧化碳原料气成分变化相关的潜在风险。它还讨论了与用于净化二氧化碳的催化氧化、硫和碳氢化合物去除系统中过量氧气或碳氢化合物水平有关的危险。此外，还回顾了在定期更换过程中，当废吸附剂介质暴露在空气中时可能遇到的潜在火灾危险。最后，本出版物提供了防止副产品二氧化碳工厂中与这些原因相关的火灾和爆炸的建议。

This publication alerts carbon dioxide producers and plant operators to potential risks related to changing carbon dioxide feed gas composition. It also discusses the dangers related to excess oxygen or hydrocarbon levels in catalytic oxidation and sulfur and hydrocarbon removal systems used to purify carbon dioxide. In addition, potential fire hazards that can be encountered when spent adsorbent media is exposed to air during periodic replacement are reviewed. Finally, this publication provides recommendations to prevent fire and explosions related to these causes in by-product carbon dioxide plants.
