NONE
NO FLOW
Causes (1) Blockage in line
(2) Solid DEA in tank (3) Pump fails
(4) Pressure in line = pressure in reactor
Consequences
Safeguards
Action Required
- Loss of flow to reactor, no reaction due to control response. - DEA solidifies in line. - Possible line rupture due to pump overpressure. - Pump motor burn out, possible fire.
- Line is electrically traced to maintain DEA as liquid. - Pump is tripped by pressure in line. -
(a) Temperature indicator and controller needed on line to control tracing. (b) Design pipes to take maximum pump pressure. (c) Heat tank using jacket and/or coil Covered by (a), (b), (c)
As for (1) - Cavitation in pump As for (1) - DEA stays in storage tank - Backflow through valve V-8 - Heat exchanger overheat, line expansion As for (1) and (3)
- Standby pump
- Pressure controller on reactor - Pressure controller on line
Covered by (a), (b), (c)
(d) Regular inspection and maintenance of valves. (e) Put a blanking plate on drain flange plate. (f) Regular
(5) Valve fails closed or blocks
As for (1) and (3) - Overpressure in line before valve leading to rupture.
- Bypass valve in place
(6) Leak or drain left open
As for (1) to (5) - DEA released from pipework – hazardous. - Potential damage to surrounding
- FRC on line - Trip on pump

(7) Empty tank/leak in tank/LSL fails
As for (1) to (6)
- Level alarm on tank.
(8) Heat exchanger blockage
As for (1) to (7)
-
(9) Pump overpower or both pumps operating
- Heat exchanger cannot heat stream enough – DEA solidifies - Reactor overflow/overpressure - Excess DEA in reactor passing through process - Possible line rupture Same as (9)
- Electrically traced line for preventing solidification - FRC on line
Same as (9)
- Valves fail closed - Pressure controller on reactor -
(10) FRC gives incorrect value (too low) (11) Valve failure
LESS OF
LESS FLOW
(12) Lower pressure in reactor
Same as (9)
(13) FRC gives incorrect value (too high)
- Less reaction - Higher DEA outlet temperature from heat exchanger - Insufficient reactor pressure - Potential higher flow in other
-
inspection of lines to look for leaks. (g) Use flow controllers on all lines with the potential to leak. (h) Ensure regular inspection of tank for leakage. (g) Ensure good heat exchanger cleaning and inspect after cleaning. (h) Use a locking off procedure for pump not in use. (g) Surge meter to prevent pump overpressure (i) Check FRC regularly (j) Design valve for maximum pressure Covered by (a) to (j)
Covered by (a) to (j)
