HELLO!

I am working on a prestentaion regarding our flare system design.
What i wanted was to emphasize on correct design and importance of Flare in a refinery or petrochemical plant.
For this purpose i need information about industrial accidents caused due to flare failure or underdesigned flares etc with photographs.

your help would be highly appreciated.

Best regards,

BINZEE

Two relevant accidents come to my mind: Bhopal (1984) where toxic Methyl Isocyanate was relieved though a stack because flare was out of order, and Texas City Refinery (March 23, 2005) where a vent system had a too small KO drum.

I am sure you will easily find pictures, animations, movies etc. for these accidents e.g. by using Google or Wikipedia.
