Abstract
Compressors, hoses, and pumps are very common and vital pieces of equipment in chemical plants, petroleum refineries, and terminals. Each of these pieces of equipment regularly conveys chemicals from one location to another in a safe manner. Each element serves the industry very well, but each must be properly specified, correctly installed, and maintained. Reciprocating compressors are widely used in the chemical, oil, and gas industries for reliably moving compressible fluids. When properly designed, installed, and operated, these compressors serve well. There is the possibility of blowing the compressor heads off if the compressors are subjected to incompressible fluids. Just like for any other piece of important operating equipment, the operator must understand the details and limitations of the equipment. Hoses are essential within chemical plants. They are often necessary to purge vessels; wash vessels; and load and unload trucks, rail cars, barges, and ships. Hoses help to compensate for unavailable equipment, prepare for maintenance, safely vent systems, and perform similar tasks. When hoses are misused, many unpleasant things can occur, including some of the world's worst chemical plant accidents.
