Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(iv): The process hazard analysis shall address: Consequences of failure of engineering and administrative controls: a. The employer's 2010 revalidation PHA for the No. 2 Formaldehyde Plant did not address the consequences of failure of the plant rate reduction interlock for the secondary blower #4 to reduce methanol flow to 7.0 gallons per minute. b. The employer's 2010 revalidation PHA for the No. 2 Formaldehyde Plant did not address the consequences of failure of engineering controls such as, but not limited to, the following safeguards: high oxygen concentration alarm, low oxygen concentration alarm, high-high oxygen concentration interlock, high-high-high oxygen concentration interlock, low-low oxygen concentration interlock, high methanol volume percent alarm, high-high methanol volume percent interlock, high vaporizer outlet temperature alarm, low vaporizer outlet temperature alarm, low-low vaporizer outlet temperature interlock, high converter catalyst bed temperature alarm, high-high converter tube hot spot temperature/high average tube hot spot temperature interlock, two high-high converter tube hot spot temperature interlock, high-high converter hot spot temperature/temperature rate of rise interlock, high converter exit gas temperature alarm, high-high converter exit gas temperature interlock, high-high-high converter exit gas temperature interlock, high converter pressure alarm, low converter pressure alarm, high-high converter pressure interlock, low-low converter pressure interlock, low HTF flow rate to converter alarm, low-low HTF flow rate to converter interlock, high HTF condenser steam pressure alarm, low HTF condenser steam pressure alarm, high HTF system pressure alarm, low HTF system pressure alarm, high-high HTF system pressure interlock, high HTF condenser boiler feed water level alarm, low HTF condenser boiler feed water level alarm, low-low HTF condenser boiler feed water level interlock, primary blower failure interlock, secondary blower failure interlock, high/low methanol flow alarms, and low methanol flow interlock.
