Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(i) The process hazard analysis shall address the hazards of the process. A) At Big West Oil, 333 W Center Street, North Salt Lake, UT 84054, the process hazard analysis (PHA) did not address the hazards of compromised overpressure protection for pressure vessels in the Alky Unit. The employer stated that the discharge piping was undersized from six pressure relief valves in the Alky Unit from the Final South Flare Study by Ambitech in May of 2008 (BWO UOSH-008B-0995) when this PHA was performed in September of 2009. The employer did not identify undersized discharge piping as a deviation from process design that, in the event of equipment failure, could lead to serious injury or death to an employee from exposure to highly hazardous chemicals. This may be a system wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all procedures throughout the facility. Note: Following RAGAGEP requires overpressure protection of pressure vessels: 1.ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requires overpressure protection in Section UG-125 GENERAL. 2.National Board Inspection Code, Part 1, Section 4, Installation of pressure Vessels: a.Paragraph 4.5 "All vessels shall be protected by pressure relief devices" b.Paragraph 4.5.4(g) "The size of discharge lines shall be such that any pressure that may exist or develop will not reduce the relieving capacity of the pressure relief device, or adversely affect the operation of the pressure relief device".
