The employers piping & instrument diagram depicts all eight pressure relief valves protecting TK-01 and TK-02 car sealed open. b. Bowl- An 8 inch vapor line in the bowl was disengaged from multiple pipe supports due to corrosion and movement of the support foundations. c. Wharf- An 8 inch vapor line adjacent to the wharf made direct contact with pipe supports over saltwater and was not otherwise protected from external corrosion at the contact points.
