Another explosion
 

This time at CF Industries

Where is that? Same area?

Yep.. In donaldsonville. My BIL works there but he was already off for the day. Another guy I know was working a turnaround in that unit but is ok.

What kind of plant?

Nitrogen

Just heard there's one dead. Can't say that's confirmed tho. PRAYERS SENT!
These 2 plants are probably less than 10 miles as the crow flies.

Prayers sent!

Their a company like Air Products or PraxAir?

Fertilizer plant......one dead.....a name is out there, but I will not repeat it before I see it confirmed.

Something to do with a Nitrogen truck?? But as I understand it, nitrogen is not explosive.

I was told a nitrogen header blew. We won't know until the official word comes out.

Yep, over pressurized..........no fire

All these explosions are making me nervous.. I'll be doing some inspection in the Valero plant for the next 2 months...

What kinda inspection work u do? For what company? I do inspection for englobal at sasol.

Rocky Morris is the name I have been given. It's family of a friend.

Too bad really but, this is why I no longer work in the industry. There are just too many variables in the field.

My heart goes out to the lost.

NDE inspection, I mostly do thickness testing, for TEAM Industrial. Most of our work is in paper mills but we cover a almost all industries..

Oh ok... We do the same thing... Mt,pt,ut and visuals... I did xray 4 years before this...

I read in yesterdays paper that this was an ethelyne unit like sasol and westlake has probably.... ethelyne is highly flamable. Ethelyne leak + ingnition source = big boom

It was a nitrogen header that got overpressured. Header was fed from a transport truck. One employee is the husband of a friend. He is still in ICU and, some serious surgeries will have to be done to put his leg back together.
