VISTA CHEMICAL CO., ABERDEEN PLANT VCM COMPRESSOR UPGRADE - PHA COMPLETION REPORT SEPTEMBER 2, 1992 I SCOPE
This Process Hazard Analysis was completed specifically for the VCM Tank Farm Compressor Upgrade project. This Safety and Health project installs instrumentation and DCS interlocks for the compressors to provide safer operation during VCM unloading. The PHA does not cover the overall operations of unloading VCM from the railcars to the sphere. A separate PHA has already been completed for the unloading operation. The PHA addressed instrumentation failures and reviewed DCS interlocking schemes for the equipment.

IV. SUMMARY OF IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL HAZARDS
1. CAUSE:
Failure or accidental closing of the VCM vapor valve (00HV103) from the sphere, the liquid VCM valve (00HV102) to the sphere, or the railcar isolation valve (00XV120).
CONSEQUENCE:
Cavitation or dead-heading of the VCM
compressors.
This could potentially
damage the compressors and subsequently
cause a VCM leak.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Include the inputs for these valves in the compressor interlocking, such that the compressors are shut down when any of these valves are closed.
RESOLUTION;
The above recommendation has been implemented into the electrical design and operating procedures.
RISK RATING:
