Hazard: Burns

LIQAL Boil-off Gas Treatment Unit presents a burn risk

Country	United Kingdom
Category	Consumer goods
Published	2024-08-01
Model identifiers	Brand: LIQAL
Category	Pressure equipment / vessels
Hazard	Burns
Hazard description	The manufacturer identified a deviation between the design temperature and the operating temperature of the BTU vessel, which may have led to brittle fracture of the vessel. If the vessel had sustained brittle fracture, ethylene could have leaked into the BTU. This was unlikely to have created safety risks as the BTU featured integrated safeguards that would have alarmed and prevented the system from operating. A risk to safety could arise if the leaking ethylene escaped to atmosphere whilst there were naked flames present on site and in the vicinity.
Remedy	The manufacturer is not aware of any instances in which a BTU malfunctioned in this way. As a precautionary measure, the manufacturer informed all end users of the issue and provided them with additional safety information. The manufacturer recalled all potentially affected units and replaced them free of charge.
