Purchasing by Tankers

Avoid use of sharp knives and crow bars for opening the drums unless permitted by the supplier. There are chances of fire or explosions if metallic chisels and steel hammers are used. Use only non-sparking type devices (wooden mallets) with proper earth connection to each container (especially for Aluminium Powder). 

Catalysts increase the rate of desired reaction (increase yield of desired products) and may allow the plants to be operated at lower temperatures, pressures, etc. This can reduce the operation and maintenance cost of the plant.
