An explosion occurred at the plant as a result of restarting a three-stage compressor after it had been shut down due to the first stage of the compressor experienced low suction pressure.
On December 7, 2009, at approximately 2:30 pm, eight vessels in two rows of four were operating under a pressure of approximately 29,000 psig. Vessel No.2 suddenly and violently ruptured, 120 days into its 150-day operating cycle. The rupture of the vessel led to a tremendous explosion, which could be heard for miles and caused extensive damage to the surrounding area. Pieces of shrapnel were propelled hundreds of feet away and debris was scattered within the impact zone. The incident resulted in two fatalities and multiple injuries, as well as millions in damage to the facility and its surrounding environment.
Residential water line failure can be an incredibly frustrating and costly issue to deal with. It can cause a great deal of damage, both to the property and to the wallet. Water line failure can occur due to a variety of factors.
Two welding explosions occurred at a marine facility located on the northeast coast of United States. Two workers were injured.
The Plant operations group did not act on the warnings of white colored hot spots on the new temperature sensitive blue paint. These white spot indications identify steel temperatures of between 675ºF and 750ºF which occurred in the area of the susceptible carbon steel that failed.
Uncovering the mystery behind high voltage electrical switchgear corrosion requires a deep understanding of the environment the switchgear is being exposed to, the materials it is made from, and other contributing factors.
Mooring line failure and malfunctions have been identified as one of the most pressing issues in offshore asset integrity and safety. Research has indicated that approximately 45% of mooring failures are due to corrosion, fatigue, and other factors, which can result in single or multiple line failures.
Unsurprisingly, when something as catastrophic as an off-highway wheel failure occurs, it can be difficult to determine the cause. It is important to identify the underlying cause behind any off-highway wheel catastrophe to ensure that similar incidents can be avoided in the future.
We wish you a very Happy Holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous New Year!
Litigation engineering root cause analysis of a fire involving a welding operation that was being performed above a Frac Storage Tank filled with Sodium Hydrogen Sulfide (NaHS) at Paper and Packaging Facility. Leadership negligence at play.
During a plant startup, both fire and explosion at refinery made for a bad day. This incident involved the Raffinate Splitter–a distillation column that separates gasoline blending components.
Flat rates are available for full and half day assessments and investigations.
Failures can be small in nature, but often times the outcome can be very devastating, even with loss of life. When this happens, people want answers.
Metallurgists play an important role in determining where, how, and why a fire has occurred.
The expenses associated with non-compliance can far exceed the costs of the assistance we can provide to you!
