On March 23, 2005, at 1:20 p.m., the BP Texas City Refinery suffered one of the worst industrial disasters in recent U.S. history. Explosions and fires killed 15 people and injured another 180, alarmed the community, and resulted in financial losses exceeding $1.5 billion. The incident occurred during the startup of an isomerization (ISOM) unit when a raffinate splitter tower was overfilled; pressure relief devices opened, resulting in a flammable liquid geyser from a blowdown stack that was not equipped with a flare. The release of flammables led to an explosion and fire. All of the fatalities occurred in or near office trailers located close to the blowdown drum. A shelter-in-place order was issued that required 43,000 people to remain indoors. Houses were damaged as far away as three-quarters of a mile from the refinery.

Whiting, Indiana Saturday, August 27, 1955 Sunrise, 6:11 a.m. Its 80 degrees in the shade, and most of the citys residents are still trying to sleep off an airless, oppressive night. But inside the plant at Whitings biggest employer (and one of the worlds largest oil refineries), something has gone horribly wrongsomething that threatens to destroy the entire community. The clock changes. 6:12 a.m. This is the story of what happened at One Minute After Sunrise on that cataclysmic day in 1955, spoken in the words of the people who lived through it. Its the story of how, in the passing of a single instant, their lives and their community were changed forever.

This case study describes the sudden release of flammable liquid and subsequent fire and explosion that occurred on April 8, 2004 at the Giant Industries' Ciniza oil refinery, Jamestown, NM. The incident injured six employees and caused evacuation of non-essential employees as well as customers of a nearby travel center and truck stop. Refinery equipment and support structures were damaged. Production at the unit was not resumed until the fourth quarter of 2004, and damage to the unit was in excess of $13 million. Because of the serious nature of the incident--injuries to employees and extensive damages to facilities--the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CBS) produced this Case Study to share lessons learned so that similar occurrences might be prevented.

The security and economic stability of many nations and multinational oil companies are highly dependent on the safe and uninterrupted operation of their oil, gas and chemical facilities. One of the most critical impacts that can occur to these operations are fires and explosions from accidental or political incidents. This publication is intended as a general engineering handbook and reference guideline for those personnel involved with fire and explosion protection aspects of critical hydrocarbon facilities. Design guidelines and specifications of major, small and independent oil companies as well as information from engineering firms and published industry references have been reviewed to assist in its preparation. Some of the latest published practices and research into fire and explosions have also been mentioned.
