A new analysis for one of the accidents Thanks to U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board for enriching the safety culture by spreading such analysis and the lessons learned.

Learn with #IntegrityAcademy Most of inspectors ignores high temperature correction factor for UT thickness measurements Although the loss of thickness could be for the corrosion allowance in API510 you should do it after 65C & according to ASME 5 should be done after 93C Where API provision take the precedence during Inservice

As a result, the CSB made a recommendation to the Loy-Lange Box Company to develop and implement a comprehensive safety management system that includes elements recommended in industry good practice guidance publications. "Leaking pressure vessels can be dangerous and should be thoroughly evaluated to ensure that they are fit to operate. But even before a pressure vessel is compromised, there are many ways for companies to ensure that damage mechanisms, including corrosion, are properly understood and controlled. Doing so can prevent catastrophic incidents before they ever happen." Source: Ignored Warnings: Explosion in St. Louis.

"The regulatory body with authority at Loy Lange is the City of St. Louis. The City of St. Louis mechanical code required repairs of pressure vessels to conform to code from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors. The 2023 repair of the SCR was performed by a National Board R stamp holding company, which meant the company was authorized to perform repairs to pressure vessels in accordance with the National Board Inspection Code. But the CSB found that the repair did not adhere to that code which generally requires that all defective material be removed. As a result, the 2012 SCR leak repair was ineffective, incomplete, and dangerous, and it was the unacceptably thin remaining material from that repair that failed, initiating the incident."

Let's start the week by making sure we emphasize the importance of worker safety within our industries! 👷 On recent news: The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) released a new safety video on its investigation into the fatal release of acetic acid at the LyondellBasell La Porte Complex in La Porte, Texas, on July 27, 2021, that killed two contract workers. The safety video addresses the two key safety issues identified in the CSB’s final report that contributed to the incident: (1) valve design to prevent human error and (2) providing workers with conditions, procedures, and training to safely conduct work. The video also highlights safety recommendations made by the CSB to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Petroleum Institute, and LyondellBasell.

Pain Points of Corrosion Corrosion is a silent enemy that wreaks havoc across industries, causing a multitude of headaches. From equipment degradation and safety risks to financial losses and environmental damage. Its impact is far reaching. Compliance issues, productivity losses, and quality control challenges further compound the problem. The complex maintenance requirements and long term asset management needed to combat corrosion add layers of complexity and costs, and let's not forget the damage to reputation that can linger long after the corrosion is gone. In a world where every detail matters, the battle against corrosion is one that demands constant vigilance and strategic planning.
