Methanol

In Natural Gas extraction, Methanol can be injected into the process to prevent the formation of hydrate (ice-like blockage in the process) in transport pipes. Methanol is a substance that easily evaporates. Both the liquid and the vapor are highly flammable. The legal limit value for exposure of persons to Methanol is important: an average value of 100 ppm = 133 mg/m3 during 8 hours.
