Now 2 fatalities.
No news in 5 days, except that they may have to cut oil production? Are we just not letting them sweep the bodies out to sea fast enough for their satisfaction?

You sure you know how a refinery works?Quote:

you're gonna have to wait for the CSB's report or interim updates to find out what happened. there isn't going to be much released otherwise.
Their announcement, not mine. But maybe they said gasoline. Or maybe they have to cut oil production if the refinery is slowed down. But I'm in chemicals - glad I don't have to know much about refineries. I do think sulfur is a pretty cool element, though. I have at least 7 patents for using it to make catalysts and stuff.CDUB98 said:You sure you know how a refinery works?Quote:

I just thought the 13 hospitalized people might warrant an update.
As for the CSB, that will be a few years, fortunately. After Trump tried to disband it, they are at least back to full strength with all 5 members, last I heard.

Quote:
The CSB's update states that on the day of the incident two contract workers at the refinery partially opened a flanged connection on piping containing hydrogen sulfide gas, which caused the release. One of these workers was fatally injured. The work was supposed to be done on a different, isolated piping segment located about five feet away from the flange that was opened. Two other contract workers from a separate company, who were working on equipment less than 250 feet away and downwind from the release, were also affected, with one fatally injured from the hydrogen sulfide exposure.

It's almost always contract workers that eff up at chemical plants.
Well, to be fair, pretty much all the real work gets contracted, so yeah.

yep. and it isn't the contractor that issues the work permit.

A contract employee probably signed off on the contractor's permit to work

Host company employees should have walked that system down with them before issuing a permit.
This sounds like an armchair permit could be one of the root causes.
