SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:
The contactor vessel, constructed of carbon steel and engineered in 2010, was originally outfitted with a
2-inch galvanized nipple connected to a 2-inch stainless steel valve at the bottom tank fitting. Over time,
the use of dissimilar metals led to galvanic corrosion at the welded fitting. This corrosion progressed
undetected for approximately 16 years which significantly weakening the structural integrity of the
connection.
At the time of the incident, only two threads remained engaged, leaving the fitting unable to withstand
normal operating conditions. The nipple ultimately stripped from the tank connection, resulting in a
failure and the loss of the majority of the tank’s resin inventory.
Due to the extent of the corrosion and the nature of the failure, the city need to restock the inventory.
