That's why I consider people who use ad blockers to be leeches, nor can I understand why they readily admit to using them - if you were a thief you wouldn't tell everyone you met would you?

This accident is very similar to the 2015 Exxon refinery fire also investigated by CSB. Both involved refinery processes that depended on slide valves, which failed to properly seal catalyst and gases in a refinery unit when closed.

was just gonna say. that accident sounded really familiar...
@igorm.20734 жыл бұрын
In both cases it was the same type of refinery unit that suffered the exact same failure where one of the slide valves eroded and coulndn't maintain the catalyst barrier. However in this case there was no mention of the steam purging of the reactor which means either this procedure wasn't used or the valve was in such bad shape that the barrier was gone within minutes, before the steam was intoduced. Also for anyone looking for the video we're talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKHPcn6Ap8ysm9k
@LycanWitch4 жыл бұрын
would think over all these decades, these penny pinching multi-billion dollar oil conglomerates would put a simple redundant system on everything or at least some sort of simple monitor that can detect if it didn't close fully such as the end/tip of the slide valve needs to make contact with a sensor on the opposite end so this can let you know there was a lack of contact whether due to mechanical issue (didn't slide close all the way) or corrosion.. or simply, should be 2 slide valves that close per side, so if one fails, at least there's a backup.
@GiddeonFox4 жыл бұрын
@@LycanWitch Generally there are failsafes of some kind and backups for critical systems designed in from the start, but the problem is once that's built maintaining it becomes just "something that costs money" with no visible benefits to management. After all the machine is working fine, why do we need to test and maintain and upgrade these safety systems when they don't even make us any money? It's the same shitty reasoning behind why data breaches at major companies happen so often - if your IT Security team is doing their job well *nothing happens*, and that's good! But boy, just try convincing upper management that you need a budget when the end result of your efforts is "nothing happens". This is why we need goddamn regulations with teeth, in all sorts of industries.

The asphalt was also heated, so it's possible it was producing flammable vapor depending on the temperature of it. Fortunately they handled this well and it seems nobody died.

CannabisCultureTechLife The problem with isolation valves in this scenario is the temperatures. It requires metal valve seats, which seal quite poorly (as a seal is usually the product of squeezing or deforming a malleable material). The are usually triple offset butterflies (which inhibit flow significantly and will suffer worse erosion problems). They are using the correct equipment, however I bet they reduced the valve internals’ inspection regime to reduce downtime. Result, badly worn valve performing poorly.

Two college dropouts built their own pressure reactor vessel for creating high octane gasoline additives... and then ramped up production beyond their woefully inadequate design specs. After a failure in the cooling system which merely used municipal water, a runaway chemical reaction occurred, building pressure until that mofo let LOOSE. Needless to say, it did not end well. The security footage from miles away looks like an actual nuclear bomb going off.

The lesson of this video: CHECK YO SLIDE VALVES!!!
@colleenross87524 жыл бұрын
And if one is eroded, replace them ASAP! Even if it means shutting the plant down for a time

dan96kid Even more importantly, keep the levels up in both the reactor and the regenerator. The pressures on either tower can be adjusted to maintain those levels. THEN, service both slide valves during the turnaround.

Riff would some kind of backup barrier system work, like a set of hinges doors that seal the stack? Then the slide valves can be checked and replaced safely
@RiffMusic19704 жыл бұрын
davyt0247 Definitely. A positive seal shut-off valve to back up slide valves would work. Just very expensive.

And.. use two valves for safety reasons.

I've lived in superior all my life. I was woken up by the explosion. The whole town went into a panic. I know several guys that work/worked there. It was sad, scary and chaotic day for everyone in town.

To be honest, I am surprised (and relieved) no one died in that. I can't imagine being there.

Wow you’re right! Man that’s phenomenal, as a kid when I was 5, I remember walking into SEARS department store buying our first Commodore 64 computer, which my brother and I only used to play (primitive) video games. We dreamed of having an awesome car driving simulator, and as I grew up I thought “some day, video games will become so good, they’ll begin to merge and become indistinguishable from reality” but that also seemed unbelievable at the time, even though the trajectory of history makes it all but certain. It’s mind blowing to sit here holding my paper-notepad-thin iPad and realize it’s happened.

Im trying to enter this industry as a process operator and watching these videos gives me topics to ask during my interviews lol. Interviewer: "So do you have any questions?" Me: "Whats the corrosion looking like on your slide valves?"

@QbanoPuraSepa3 жыл бұрын
The mechanism here is not corrosion, it is erosion. And yes, safety is first and you should demonstrate that, but of you truly are serious just think of another question that is not so specific. Also chances are your interviewer will have zero clue.
