Summary

On March 29, 2019, a gasket flange on the Low Side Accumulator of a pump in the Distribution Center Engine Room failed causing a release of liquid anhydrous ammonia. The incident investigation revealed that the failure of the gasket was due to the bolts used to tighten the flange not being torqued to proper specifications, leading to vibration and failure. The incident investigation also identified the failure of the gasket was due to the use of a gasket not specifically designed for anhydrous ammonia service.
