Instrumentation Modification Without Risk Assessment Causes Plant-Wide Shutdown: A Case Study from a 120,000 T/Y PVC Facility

Instrumentation /

Background In a 120,000 tons-per-year polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production facility, a critical incident occurred during the commissioning of newly installed valves on a liquid chlorine storage tank. The sudden shutdown was triggered by a tripped power supply circuit, which resulted in a full-scale plant stoppage and elevated the risk of hazardous chemical leakage. The root
