Plant Safety Series: Transient Hazards: Explosion at the Husky Superior Refinery. "Without other critical safeguards in place, air from the regenerator flowed backwards through the slide valve into the reactor. The air then moved into the main column and other equipment downstream of the reactor where it formed a flammable mixture with hydrocarbons. At approximately 10 am, the hazardous mixture of air and hydrocarbons found an ignition source, and there was a large explosion. Debris from two vessels flew into the air. One piece traveled about 200 feet and hit a large above-ground storage tank, puncturing the side of the tank and releasing hot asphalt. Asphalt poured out of the tank, over the containment berm, and into the refinery's operating units where it spread along the ground." To be continued ...

Plant Safety Series: Transient Hazards: Explosion at the Husky Superior Refinery. "Under normal operation, the catalyst circulates continually between the reactor and regenerator through a carefully controlled balance of pressure. To initiate the shutdown of the FCC unit, refinery workers stopped the flow of hydrocarbons to the reactor and closed the two slide valves connecting the reactor to the regenerator. Circulation of the catalyst stopped. But one of the two slide valves was eroded. Catalysts from the reactor fell through the valve to the regenerator leaving an open path for air or hydrocarbons to flow between the two pieces of equipment." To be continued ...

Most manufacturing processes produce dust. The failure to monitor, collect, and control dust can have grave consequences. The dust in your facility could be causing health issues, creating conditions for a potential fire or explosion hazard, or even degrading your product.

Plant Safety Series: Transient Hazards: Explosion at the Husky Superior Refinery. "Shortly before 6 a.m. on the day of the incident, Operators took steps to shut down the refinery's fluid catalytic cracker or FCC unit for periodic maintenance and inspection. The FCC unit uses heat and a solid catalytic to break or crack heavy hydrocarbons from crude oil into smaller hydrocarbons which can then be blended into gasoline and other products. Slide valves control the flow of catalysts between a reactor which contains flammable hydrocarbons and a regenerator which contains air. It is always critical to prevent mixing of the hydrocarbons and air because a dangerous flammable mixture can form." To be continued ...
