There were no credible indications of the temperature of the coke inside the vessel. The only temperature sensors were on the outside of the dmm. Although the operators believed that steam had passed into the drum, no steam had actually been admitted to the drum. Furthermore, no attempt had been made to put water into the drum. Nevertheless, on the morning of November 25, the foreman and operators reviewed the drnm temperature sensors and concluded that the drum contents had cooled sufficiently. It appears that Equilon plant management were also involved in the decision to go ahead, and a Permit to Work was issued for a specialist contractor, Western Plant Services, to open up the drum. Wearing oxygen masks, workers removed the top lid from the drum safely. 

The six workers killed in the explosion were two Equilon employees and four Western Plant Services employees. They died from smoke inhalation and bums.

Isomerization Today. Present isomerization capacity in the Western Hemisphere and Western Europe is estimated to be about 50,000 BPD basis information provided in Refs. 26 and 34. It is not known how many World War II plants may still be operating or are capable of being returned to service, but the number is believed to be very small. Near the end of World War II isomerization capacity peaked out at 45,000- 50,000 BPD of which slightly over 40,000 BPD consisted of n-butane isomerization. All of these installations used one of five processes employing aluminum chloride complexes (25). 

Reagents and Materials. Light recycle oil (LRO) and Western Kentucky 9/14 coal were obtained from the Wilsonville SRC Pilot Plant, operated by Southern Company Services, Inc. The LRO contains 0.26% sulfur, and the Western Kentucky 9/14 coal is analyzed to be 67% C, 4.9% H, 3.10% S, and 12% mineral matter. The coal was dried overnight at 100°C and 25 inches Hg vacuum before use.

The Reclamation Service was established in 1902 to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner. It is best known for the dams, power plants, and canals it constructed in 17 Western states to secure a year-round water supply for irrigation. These projects led to homesteading and promoted the economic development of the West.
