With an intro like that, you just know there is an industrial accident happening after that agitator turns on. Yikes. 🧪 And then after everything happened, did they manage to empty the tank without injuring anyone else?

Dear chemists: 🧪 The operators on the production floor will appreciate lower temperatures in your synthesis route. Extra precautions for personnel safety kick in at 60C. Good temperature control at 90C can be challenging in facilities with water/steam/brine for heat transfer utilities.

Finished: Written on the Dark by
