Accident Classified As:
An LPG line in the East Plant froze, and excess LPG was received in the feed from the Coker to the NHT Unit. The NHT stripper over-pressured and excess gas was diverted to the refinery flare system.
The Coker LPG pump was shut down to relieve pressure off of the line and rates to the unit were reduced. The pump was restarted, line service was restored and rates were gradually increased.
