A contained explosion in a hydrogen tank occurred at the thermal generation plant

Hydrogen gas explosion blew the lid off a heavy container at a heat treatment and brazing plant, crushing one workers hand.

A hydrogen explosion had ruptured a pipe in the core spray system at the Brunsbttel BWR in Germany. Although the control room instrumentation had at the time indicated a leak of radioactive steam,…

A gas mixture (25% nitrogen, 73% of hydrogen, 2% methane) leaked, due to the ejection of the check valve from its connection with the inlet pipe. A large amount of the gas mixed with air and ignited…

An explosion and fire occurred at a chemical plant applying silicone coatings. The blast occurred when some polymethyl hydrogen siloxane was accidentally fed into a reactor, together with the correct…

Explosion at styrene plant during start-up. A manhead flange failed in a light oil hydrogenation unit releasing 30 kg of hydrogen in a compressor shed. Ignition occurred in 10 to 15 secs.…

An explosion occurred at testing facility of a space rocket engine. The incident occurred when executing a test studying the performance of a hydrogen gas flow measuring system for fuel feeding…

The incident affected at an indirect oil desulfurization unit, and originated at a piping at the outlet of a heat exchanger. The exchanger was located in the furthermost downstream of the reactor.…

An explosion at a refinery started a fire that was fueled by diesel and hydrogen.

Explosion of hydrogen at slip ring end of an alternator. It was caused by a hose fracture within the generator casing, which led to a discharge of water into the casing and subsequent electrical…

The accident occurred in the cracking unit and in the sulfur recuperating system, more exactly in a 90 curve of a 8" piping. Due to the crack of the curve a mixture of flammable gases was released…

the explosion occurred inside the lower hydrogenation tower of a hydrogen peroxide unit, damaging the distribution tray inside the tower. 4 were killed and 2 injured, the direct economic loss was 488…

An hydrogen explosion occurred within the off-gas system, causing the stop of the sump pump; subsequently both trains of the standby gas treatment system were declared inoperable. The sump is part of…

This report consists of two events: B. On February 23, 2004., one person was injured, apparently lightly, in a fire that broke out following a hydrogen explosion, Herzliya Pituah, Israel An…

A hydrogen explosion occurred at a 585-MW coal-fired supercritical unit and caused one fatality, injuries to 10 other people, and significant damage to several buildings. The explosion occurred…

An explosion occurs during testing of the hydrogen feeding of an engine in the Spatial Agency Centre.

This event occurred when a hydrogen-carrying trailer was supplying hydrogen to a chemical plant. Instead of filling the hydrogen stationary storage, large quantities of hydrogen were transferred…

Hydrogen leak occurred from temporary pipe work during transfer of hydrogen between permanent and emergency cylinders. Ignition source unknown. Resultant explosion caused serious burns to one…

Piping failed because of corrosion and a release of hydrogen occurred with an explosion. The fire lasted approximately 10 minutes, resulting in the shutdown of the hydrogen unit. Noise of the…
