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 soldiers of the Royal Prussian Air Ship Division stored large amounts of hydrogen gas. They kept some 1000 cylinders in a shed. On 25 May 1894 about 400 of them burst without apparent reason.…
damage of shipping containers of a ship, reaction of phosphor pentoxide with wine leads to phosphoric acid and hydrogen
high pressure spherical vessel, stress corrosion stressing by hydrogen, leakage along the weld, release of H2-CH4 mixture
This entry refer to a series of events occurred before the date given, which corresponds to the publication of the evidences at the Int. Conference on Hydrogen Safety 2015. The nozzle/receptacle…
The event occurred at the chlorine drying towers. The towers, made of PVC, exploded suddenly and violently in a mercury amalgam cell chlorine plant. Because of failure of the electrical power system…
The explosion occurred in a Litol benzene unit, when it was being restarted following a scheduled shutdown for maintenance. The explosion followed the release of about 30 kilograms of hydrogen gas…
A fire in an oil refineryThe fire broke out together with an explosion noise from the heavy oil direct desulfurization system of the height of about 20 m. The fire burned a part of the system…
The incident at a bio-fuels research laboratory occurred when a visiting research fellow was transferring hydrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide into a low pressure gas cylinder to be used as a…
An explosion of unknown cause occurred at a hydrogen manufacturing plant. The explosion occurred on the second floor of the building, used by employees as a cafeteria and offices. The company where…
On September 1, 1992, an explosion in this facility occurred due to an accidental release of hydrogen at the Institute of Energy Conversion, University of Delaware, US. Hydrogen gas was used in…
The event occurred in the steam condensing line of the residual heat removal system the nuclear reactor. Radiolysis generated hydrogen and oxygen which then accumulated in high concentration in the…
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.…
The event occurred in the hydrogen pumping station, placed between the hydrogen production unit (steam methane reformer) and the hydro-treatment unit. The second stage of the compressor cylinder…
The accident happened in a low pressure methanol plant, commissioned in summer 1971 . A 6 in. pipe, below the methanol synthesis gas compressor inter-stage relief valve, failed releasing hydrogen-…
A gas release occurred in the building for the recirculation of processes gas. The gas was a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen. It occurred at the outlet valve, during works aiming to replace it. This…
The event occurred during welding works which ignited accidentally released hydrogen. The plant had been partially shut down for repairing works to a pipe affected by internal cracks. The repairing…
The vent occurred at the hydrogen manufacturing unit: a pipe of this unit burst, followed by an explosion. The fire was extinguished in about 15 minutes. One employee nearby had a consequence from a…
In this plant, after conversion of the major part of the carbon dioxide into urea, the off-gasses from the reactor consist of ammonia, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Prior to venting…
On a cold morning, the gasoil hydro-treatement unit was being brought back on line after being out of service to repair a governor problem on the recycle gas compressor. Several upset trips had…
