HIAD Classification of the Physical Effects: No Hydrogen Release
This near miss occurred at a CHP plant operation with a SOFC. During the heating phase, the SOFC stopped due to the opening of the mainpower switch.This was due to a contact problem inside the SOFC…
The incident aoccurred ina biogas-fed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stationary system, working in CHP mode.A sudden stop of the biogas feeding line caused the safety shutdown of the plant (SOFC module).The…
The incident at a bio-fuels research laboratory occurred when a visiting research fellow was transferring hydrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide into a low pressure gas cylinder to be used as a…
A hydrogen-cooled electricity generator exploded inside a coal-fired power plant killing two workers and injuring fifty others. An investigation into the incident found that a hydrogen gas leak may…
The event occurred in an atmospheric pressure tank storing effluents. The plant was in the production phase. The head of the overfill prevention valve located at the top of the tank was thrown a…
The accident happened in a low pressure methanol plant, commissioned in summer 1971 . A 6 in. pipe, below the methanol synthesis gas compressor inter-stage relief valve, failed releasing hydrogen-…
A dual phase hydrogen tanker was expected to refil the storage of arefulein gstation for buses. Due to the failure of the a bolt of the tanker pump, the fefeulling could not take place. This resulted…
FCEV drove over a high bump and damaged its lower front side.
The FCEV driver did hit a pole with the left front at a relative low speed.
The FCEV was travelling at approx. 75 km/h (80 km/h speed limit) on a straight, downhill part of the road. Another vehicles was waiting at a STOP sign on the right side, did not see the incoming FCEV…
Hydrogen enrichment of the gaseous phase in a rail tanker initiated an exothermic reaction between hydrogen and chlorine which in turn triggered fire of iron chloride.
Fire in an ammonia plantA fire broke out in the hydrogen section of ammonia plant.
The fire developed on a hydrogen bus during filling, and was detected due to the development of smoke and a smell of burned materials.The power cable of the compressor had overheated. Two are the…
The fire broke out under the cabin of a heavy-duty vehicle transporting industrial gas cylinders (hydrogen, acetylene, helium) close to a paint company. Firefighters shelter the employees of this…
A truck driver carrying compressed gas cylinders loaded on pallets stopped on the emergency stop lane of a highway after a tyre burst. The gases transported were: 120 m of oxygen, 24 acetylene…
A fire broke out on the insulating plastic elements of an alkaline electrolyzer in a unit of a chemical plant. The shift saw the smoke from the control room. The first action was to drain the potash…
The boat was performing a drive test when one of the 280 lead gel batteries exploded and took fire. The local fire brigade was able to extinguish the fire but the above deck section of the boat was…
