The low pressure side waste gas compressor shutdown due to a fuel control valve failure. This routed the low pressure side waste gas to the Flare Gas Management (FGM) system.
Not preventable. The root cause was malfunction of linkage, and alkylation unit pressure relief valve being sent to the flare.
The fuel control valve was repaired. The low pressure side waste gas compressor was restarted, and the stream was removed from the FGM system. The seal water on the FGM compressors was changed out. There is no SPOC report and no LDEQ report in the file.
