HIAD Nature of the Consequences: Fire


Malfunctioning of the non-return valve of the hydrogen compressor has caused the pressure between the hydrogen bottle and the compressor to rise to the maximum allowed pressure of 275 barg. As a…
A road tanker was being loaded with liquid hydrogen from a 15,000 gallon storage tank, when fire broke out after 1 inch rupture disk failed, ignition source was a loose connection in down stream…
The incident occurred in a plant producing organic chemistry products. Hydrogen leaked briefly from an hydraulic valve. There has been no victim.
A hydrogen leak alarm was received in the control room from the reformer of the hydrogen plant of a chemicals manufacturing facility. The reformed was depressurised and the leak stopped. The leak was…
During the start-up operation (phase) of a cryogenic unit, a separator exploded, releasing ethane, ethylene, methane and hydrogen. The bursting of a tank was caused by a 1600 mm long incipient crack…
A high pressure reactor ruptured during a catalyst activation operation. A gaseous stream of hydrogen and light hydrocarbons was released and spontaneously ignited. The unit was immediately…
A minor fire broke out following a gas leak from hydrogen cylinders. A truck was returning to the base company after offloading hydrogen cylinders at a factory. The driver lost control and crashed…
Ejection of rotor wedge material lead to vibration induced failure of components, including hydrogen seals. Serious fire resulted from hydrogen leakage, which subsequently lead to an oil fire.…
A severe fire in a hydrogen compressor building in a unifier unit of an oil sands refinery reportedly started in a 1,500 psi lube oil system. Fire fighting was difficult because of 40 degrees F…
It was a small incident in a heat-electric power plant. The alarm was registered at 11:26 and the fire was extinguished at 12:03. The incident took place during tests using the reserve power…
There was a small leak of syngas (a mixture mainly consisting of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) resulting in a localized fire at a bolted flange joint on the outlet carbon steel pipework of the High…
The leak occurred at the ammonia reactor after a technical shutdown of 4 days. When the production was resumed and the syngas compressor restarted 14 hours later, a jet-fire occurred. The Internal…
Following a trip caused by the safeguarding of an ammonia production line, the syngas released into the atmosphere and ignited.
The event occurred while re-starting the ammonia production unit after a technical stop, a synthesis gas (50% hydrogen, 17% ammonia, methane and nitrogen) leak ignited on a flange located just after…
Fire caused by leakage from tank. Gaseous hydrogen release in generator caused by turbine vibrations
Fire of drums containing lithium metal powder: Spontaneous combustion took place at drums containing lithium metal powder which were charged with argon gas for experiments. While lithium metal powder…
Release from a welding of a hydrogen transmission pipeline At 12:45 pm the operation control centre (OCC) recognised that a customer flow and pressure dropped significantly. At 13:28 the OCC made the…
