Investigation Summary
On August 28, 1999, a chemical release occurred from flash tank of pressure vessel #3. Employees #1 through #13 and 25 coworkers were overcome by the vapors and taken to area hospitals, where they were treated and released. The vapors eventually reached electrical components and ignited a flash fire. The release was caused by an unapproved gasket being installed in a manway.
