The employer shall correct deficiencies in equipment that are outside acceptable limits (defined by the process safety information in paragraph (d) of this section) before further use or in a safe and timely manner when necessary means are taken to assure safe operation: a. 35R for an August 2010 inspection: The glass lining repair was not documented. Additionally, a thickness measurement (TML #N5) that was below retirement thickness taken during an October 2010 inspection was not resolved. b. 2R for a December 2009 inspection: Gasket repair, exterior corrosion treatment and vessel recoating were not documented. c. 1R for a December 2009 inspection: Required repairs, including the installation of an appropriately marked rupture disk, repair of a leak, installation of an appropriate pressure relief valve for the vessel jacket, exterior corrosion treatment and vessel recoating were not documented. d. 4R for a May 2008 inspection: Rupture disk replacement was not documented. e. 34R for an October 2010 inspection report associated with an August 2010 inspection: A thickness measurement in the vessel shell top head (TML #D2) that was at retirement thickness was not resolved. Additional inspection reports for January 2011, February 2011 and August 2011 do not resolve this data. Additionally, the center top head flange gasket repair from the August 2011 inspection and the top head 36 inch flange gasket repair from the January 2011 inspection deficiency corrections were not made and/or documented to address leaks. f. 20 reactor (chlorination) also known as R-032-01 for a May 2008 inspection: A thickness measurement in the vessel shell bottom head (TML #E3) that was below the manufacturer's minimum thickness from the U-1 data report was not resolved. Appropriate recalculated minimum thickness values were not documented for the associated inspection report. g. 19R for a May 2008 inspection: A thickness measurement in the vessel shell bottom head (TML #E2) that was below the manufacturer's minimum thickness values from the U-1 data report was not resolved. h. 18R for an August 2011 inspection: The correction of deficiencies noted related to paint failure and exterior corrosion was not documented. i. 40R for a May 2008 inspection: A thickness measurement data point in the vessel shell top head that was below calculated minimum thickness was not resolved. j. 41R for an August 2011 inspection: The correction of deficiencies noted related to jacket failure (oil service) were not documented. k. 45R for a February 2011 inspection: The correction of deficiencies noted related to corrosion, scale, pitting and metal wastage were not documented. l. PCl3 piping loading line for a 2008 inspection referenced in Phosphites PHA Recommendation 212: The correction of deficiencies for the replacement and/or repair of PCl3 piping was not documented.
