Description

Alberta Employment and Immigration investigated a flash fire in which a treater fire box ignited a cloud of accidentally released natural gas. The ignition occurred because the burner access port on the fire box front cover had been left open. Since it is physically impossible to prevent ignition when an explosive atmosphere meets with a source of ignition, the primary safety objective is to stop the flame from propagating (by containing an explosion) and igniting an explosive atmosphere outside the equipment.
