Abstract
A safety apparatus has been found for controlling the release of flashing hydrogen fluoride in a hydrocarbon alkylation process. The safety apparatus comprises containment baffles enclosing major process vessels. The safety apparatus may be used in combination with a liquid onium polyhydrogen fluoride complex to substantially reduce the vapor cloud produced from a leaking process vessel.
