Untuk posting kali ini,sengaja penulis mencari kelainan untuk berkongsi tentang apa yang akan dipresent esok,agar ilmu dan pengetahuan tidak hilang begitu sahaja,maka penulis mengambil keputusan untuk menyimpan di blog ini.
InsyaAllah esok penulis akan present untuk subjek BKB3533 OSH IN CHEMICAL & BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIES bertajuk FLIXBOROUGH DISASTER,jom sama2 baca artikel yang dicopy dari wikipedia ni.
BERMULANYA KEJADIAN...
The Flixborough disaster was an explosion at a chemical plant close to the village of Flixborough (near Scunthorpe), Humberside (now North Lincolnshire), England, on 1 June 1974. It killed 28 people and seriously injured 36.
The chemical plant, owned by Nypro (UK) (a joint venture between Dutch State Mines and the British National Coal Board), and in operation since 1967, produced caprolactam, a precursor chemical used in the manufacture of nylon. Residents of the village of Flixborough were not keen to have such a large industrial development so close to their homes and had expressed concern when the plant was first proposed.
The process involved oxidation of cyclohexane with air in a series of six reactors to produce a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. Two months prior to the explosion, a crack was discovered in the number 5 reactor. It was decided to install a temporary 50 cm (20 inch) diameter pipe to bypass the leaking reactor to allow continued operation of the plant while repairs were made.
At 16:53 on Saturday 1 June 1974, the temporary bypass pipe (containing cyclohexane at 150°C (302°F) and 1 MPa (10 Bar)) ruptured, possibly as a result of a fire on a nearby 8 inch (20 cm) pipe which had been burning for nearly an hour. Within a minute, about 40 tonnes of the plant's 400 tonne store of cyclohexane leaked from the pipe and formed a vapour cloud 100–200 metres (320-650 feet) in diameter. The cloud, on coming in contact with an ignition(alat pencucuh) source (probably a furnace at a nearby hydrogen production plant) exploded, completely destroying the plant. Around 1,800 buildings within a mile radius of the site were damaged.
KESAN-KESAN KEJADIAN
Kuasa Allah mengatasi segalanya..mampukah kita menahannya??? Banyak sudah kejadian-kejadian yang berlaku disekeliling kita, sejauh manakah kita meletakkan pergantungan kepada Allah swt semata-mata atau menggunakan akal fikiran sendiri untuk melaksanakan undang-undang & peraturan??
