Yesterday, the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) announced the release of a new safety video: “The Danger of Popcorn Polymer: Incident at the TPC Group Chemical Plant”. The video provides a visual presentation of the safety information developed during the Board’s investigation of the 2019 explosions and fires at the TPC plant in Port Neches, TX. The major safety problem identified was the lack of control of ‘popcorn polymer’ being formed in a piping dead leg at the facility. While no new information was provided in the video, its presentation of the investigation results will be more useful to a wider audience than was the Board’s published report.
