Accident Investigation Summary | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Summary Nr: 14422406 | Event: 07/03/1989 | Employee Fatally Burned | ||||
| Employee #1 was in the process of shutting down the high-pressure unit of the alcohol plant. This unit is a hydrogen-reactor system used for the production of tallow fatty alcohol. A flanged joint under the Number 3 reactor separated from the upper stub-end pipe allowing a release of combustible/flammable liquid from the reactor system to the surrounding area. The liquid in the reactor system was heated to a point above its ignition temperature. Once the liquid made contact with the ambient atmosphere it started to burn causing a fire. Employee #1 was in the area and received fatal burns to over 90 percent of his body. | ||||||
