- Bypassed Safeguard
- The hazard was a runaway reaction in a methyl-isocyanate storage tank, and the plant carried four engineered safeguards against it: a refrigeration system to keep the tank cold, a vent-gas scrubber to neutralize escaping gas, a flare tower to burn off vapour, and a water curtain to knock down a release.
This sourceForensic account of the engineered safeguards (refrigeration, vent-gas scrubber, flare tower, water curtain) each routed around in enacted practice; the standard narrative confirms each was shut off, on standby, down for maintenance, or undersized at the time of release.
