Accident Classified As:
th e piping was cut to remove it from service. What was thought to be a blind at one end of the pipe was an orifice; the pipe de-pressured upon being cut.
CITGO has initiated a failure analysis review to determine how this incident occurred and what controls need to be implemented to prevent a recurrence. Was this the same pipe from 07-1067?
