摘要
2005年3月23日，BP公司位于美国得克萨斯州休斯敦南部地区的得克萨斯城炼油厂发生爆炸事故，炼油厂异构化装置在开车过程中发生爆炸着火，造成15人死亡、170多人受伤。事故的直接原因是操作工误操作，造成烃分馏液面高出控制温度25华氏度。操作工对阀门和液面检查粗心大意，没有及时发现液面超标，结果液面过高导致分馏塔超压，大量物料进入放空罐，气相组分从放空烟囱溢出后发生爆炸。这个炼油厂是BP集团最大的炼油厂，美国第三大炼油厂。
From the moment BP began investigating what happened at Texas City BP made a conscious decision as a company to share what we learned with others the local community, other companies, regulators, the media, and industry as a whole. John Mogford, Senior Group Vice President, Safety & Operations, BP Group, made a speech to share the lessons. John Mogford said, the factors which contributed to the explosion at Texas City were years in the making and will require concerted, sustained commitment to rectify. Their investigation revealed many safety areas at the refinery where procedures, practices and expected behaviours were not met. It has taught them hard lessons about leadership and communication, engagement and teamwork.
