Which risk increases when ammonia synthesis plants experience hydrogen embrittlement?

A)Catalyst thermal runaway events rise

B)Compressor seal failures accelerate rapidly

C)Reaction vessel fracture probability increases✓

D)Product contamination from inert gases

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen embrittlement weakens the steel reaction vessel because hydrogen atoms diffuse into the metal lattice, reducing ductility; therefore the risk of fracture increases, rather than directly affecting the catalyst, compressor, or product purity under increased pressure.
