Hydrogen preheat exchanger outlet elbow rupture

Published on 22/04/25 283 Views

A fire broke out at a refinery due to a rupture in a high-pressure hydrogen line, causing significant property damage and a minor injury to one employee during the emergency shutdown.

Ask yourself and your crew:

  • How can something like this happen here (e.g. on our site)?
  • What safety measures (i.e. procedures, controls/barriers) do we have in place to mitigate the risk?
  • How do we know the risk controls/barriers are working?
  • What improvements or changes should we make to the procedures, controls/barriers, or the way we work?
