What is Seadrift Union Carbide Explosion Analysis about?

This document summarizes an industrial accident that occurred at a Union Carbide facility in Seadrift, Texas in 1991. It provides details of the distillation still where the explosion occurred and describes the chronology of events. The causes of the accident are analyzed, finding that a localized hot spot developed in the reboiler tubes due to a reaction catalyzed by iron oxide, leading the ethylene oxide to self-decompose and cause an explosion as heat and pressure increased rapidly. Design considerations
