What is Pyrophoric Iron Sulphide Hazards in Tankers about?

This chapter discusses the formation and dangers of pyrophoric iron sulphide in cargo tanks. Pyrophoric iron sulphide can form when iron oxide is exposed to hydrogen sulphide in an oxygen-free environment, and can autoignite when reexposed to oxygen due to rapid exothermic oxidation. While rarely cited as an ignition source on ships previously, the increased use of inert gas systems may increase the possibility of forming pyrophoric deposits that could ignite if oxygen is reintroduced. Strict preventative m
