  Explosion in Compressor Operating Panel
 

  


This report explains the explosion that occurred on September 20th, 2004 in a

Polypropylene(P.P) Plant, Ulsan, Korea. The explosion was arisen due to hydrogen

trespass through nitrogen line for compressor panel purge. Nitrogen was supplied

to purge compressor suction part and also to pressurize compressor panel inside

from the same header. After the replacement of compressor inside valves nitrogen

purge line was not exactly blocked, and high pressure hydrogen trespassed in the

compressor operating panel through the purge line according to compressor run

and the explosion finally occurred in panel. Two employees were killed on the spot,

and the plant was down. The key safety issues covered in this report were how to

design the purge line and to perform proper pre-startup review.

Recommendations concerning this issue were delivered to P.P Plant.
