The releases were 1 ton releases (at least the videos in the presentation were the 1-ton releases). The presentation does an EXCELLENT job showing how these two chemicals differ when released. Along with the Seward, IL Ammonia video footage, this footage confirms that NH3 will act as a “heavier-than-air” gas when it is released in very large quantaties. Enough of my bable,...

First I would like to say THANKS to XTO Energy for stepping up and sharing their lessons learned from thier incidents!! These days, this is very rare, but this presentation is just too good not to share with others. My only wish is that I had seen this before 1996, when I experienced my first frac tank deflagaration.

These are a serious of videos that demonstrate how “hot taps” are made. Some may think a “hot tap” is a disaster waiting to happen ( I know I did when I was first exposed to it); but in reality, in some situations it is actually MORE SAFE. The principle is based on wokring ABOVE THE UEL of the flammable substances. ALWAYS remember that it is the gas/vapor that...
