[Introduction]
Propylene oxide (PO) is an important and widely used chemical intermediate used in the production of a wide range of industrial and commercial products. It is a colorless, low-boiling, volatile liquid with a sweet, ether-like odor. Due to its high flammability and reactivity, storage and unloading sites for PO must undergo rigorous design and safety monitoring.
