HIAD Facility - Application Type: Hydrogen Production
The fire ignited roofing materials which had fallen down as the result of the explosion.The operator, who was outside the plant when the explosion occurred, pulled the emergency switch which shut…
The explosion took place in the hydrogen gasometer. The bell in the gasometer was lifted 15-20 m straight up and cracked. The cover fell down on the pipe bridge besides the gasometer. The cylindrical…
The explosion occurred at the hydrogen producing unit of a refinery.A solution of potassium carbonate was being drawn off from an absorption tower to a temporary storage tank for a turnaround…
This incident occurred at the electrolyzer of a refuelling station. An employee of the electrolyzers manufacturer was on-site to conduct a reset of the plant power breaker system and to restart gas…
An explosion occurred a the Lurgi electrolysis unit of a chemical factory. The plant suffered extensive damage and one man died. The electrolysis plant produced hydrogen for process use and oxygen as…
A hydrogen plant exploded, throwing debris for tens of metres and badly damaging the plant. The two workers in the plant at the time were not seriously injured. The plant reportedly had a capacity of…
An explosion and fire occurred at a hydrogen production plant serving the hydrocracker and the diesel hydroteater of a nearby refineryNo injuries were reported among the employees.According to the…
A hydrogen gas holder exploded.It is assumed that there was diaphragm leak in the hydrogen-oxygen electrolytic cell used to produce high purity hydrogen for a pharmaceutical hydrogenation.
An explosion occurs in the oxygen gas holder in an electrolysis plant. The explosion is due to the entry of hydrogen in the oxygen gas holder.The dome of the gas holder and the collar were blown away.
A crack occurred in a storage tank (300 kg of hydrogen) releasing gaseous hydrogen to atmosphere. The vapour cloud exploded with an apparent centre of explosion 9 m above ground, with a energy…
The explosion occurred at a hydrogen fuel plant mainly serving hydrogen forklift fleets. The explosion damaged several nearby homes and could be felt nearly 10 miles away.Police and firefighters…
A fire occurred on a plant. The fire resulted from an escape of liquid hydrogen from a joint between an isolating block valve and a relief valve on one of the separation column preheater. The…
A fire broke out on the insulating plastic elements of an alkaline electrolyzer in a unit of a chemical plant. The shift saw the smoke from the control room. The first action was to drain the potash…
The hydrogen buffer tanks that exploded were part of an experimental facility experimenting generation of renewable hydrogen from a water electrolyzer coupled to solar panels.The three hydrogen tanks…
The incident consisted of a leakage of potassium hydroxide solution (KOH) from an alkaline electrolyzer in a renewable hydrogen production plant. One webpage news reported that smoke formation…
The accidental hydrogen release occurred when testing the storage system connected to a PEM electrolyzer. The leak test consisted in filling the storage with hydrogen at step-wise increase of…
The incident occurred during the verification operation of a new high pressure hydrogen generator. The electrolysis cell burned down, the pipes of the oxygen circuit burst and the peripheral…
