Accident Classified As:
Cause of Problem: Start Up, Shut Down
SFGR compressors shut down on high flare header pressure. FCC steaming for turnaround elevated flare header pressure (along with 2CTU gas) and when No. 2 Coker went to the blowdown at normal time (not early), it spiked the header pressure up high enough
Discharge Preventable - Yes
Notes/Remedial Actions
Cut FCC steaming back and started SFGR compressors. No excess emissions above permit limits, therefore notification only as courtesy.
