Odfjell Terminals (Baytank) Inc. - Executive Summary
Executive Summary
Odfjell Terminals (Baytank) Inc. ; 12211 Port Road ; Seabrook, Texas 77586
At Odfjell Terminals (Baytank) Inc. we are committed to operating and maintaining all of our processes (especially those using hazardous substances) in a safe and responsible manner. We use a combination of accidental release prevention programs and emergency response planning programs to help ensure the safety of our employees and the public as well as protection of the environment. This document provides a brief overview of the comprehensive risk management activities that we have designed and implemented, including:
A description of our facility and the storage and transfer of substances regulated by EPA's RMP regulation
A summary of results from our assessment of the potential offsite consequences from accidental chemical releases
An overview of our accidental release prevention programs
A five-year accident history for a
ccidental releases of chemicals regulated by EPA's RMP rule
An overview of our emergency response program
An overview of planned improvements at the facility to help prevent accidental chemical releases from occurring and adversely affecting our employees, the public, and the environment
Our public marine terminal stores and transfers a variety of chemicals. The facility stores the chemicals in pressurized tanks and transfers them to and from various transportation modes including tank truck, rail car, barges and ships. The processes are storage and transfer only. The storage and transfer is actually three processes:
Toxic and other flammable Storage and Transfer
Propylene Storage and Transfer
Acetaldehyde Storage and Transfer
The systems and procedures for storage and transfer of propylene and acetaldehyde are specific to those chemicals and therefore are identified as separate processes. The systems for storage and transfer of other
flammables and all toxics are the same basic design and use the same procedures.
We have identified the following toxic chemicals that have the potential to cause offsite consequences in the event of a substantial accidental release: acrylonitrile, epichlorohydrin, chloroform, allyl alcohol, cyclohexylamine, ethylenediamime, nitric acid (80 %), propylene oxide, toluene diisocyanate (2,4) and vinyl acetate monomer. Not all of these chemicals are currently stored at our facility.
We have identified the following flammable chemicals that have the potential to cause offsite consequences in the event of a substantial accidental release: propylene , acetaldehyde, isoprene,
1-pentene, and isopropylamine.
Our accidental release prevention programs and our contingency planning efforts help us effectively manage the hazards that are posed to our employees, the public, and the environment in the storage and transfer of these chemicals
EPA's RM
P rule requires that we provide information about the worst-case release scenario(s) and alternative release scenario(s) for our facility. The following are brief summaries of these scenarios, including information about the systems to limit the exposure distances for each scenario:
Worst-case Release Scenario (WCS) Regulated Toxics
The WCS for toxics is the rupture of a storage tank of acrylonitrile. The release is contained by a concrete dike limiting the evaporation pool surface area. The cloud of evaporating acrylonitrile would reach offsite endpoints and nearby public receptors including residents, schools, parks, a hospital, and industrial neighbors.
Alternative Release Scenarios (ARSs) Regulated Toxic Chemicals
Baytank identified ten ARSs for the regulated toxics. Each scenario was the overflow on a storage resulting in a pool. The pool surface area is limited by concrete dikes containing the release, and a foam blanket would be applied within 30 minutes of the rele
ase. The cloud of evaporating toxic substances would reach offsite endpoints and nearby public receptors including residents and industrial neighbors.
Worst-case Release Scenario Regulated Flammable Chemicals
The WCS for flammables is the rupture of a sphere containing acetaldehyde resulting in a vapor cloud explosion as defined in the RMP Rule. The blast effects could reach offsite endpoints and nearby receptors including a school, residences and industrial neighbors.
Alternative Release Scenario(s) (ARSs) Regulated Flammable Chemicals
Baytank identified the ARS for the regulated flammables as the overflow on a propylene sphere resulting in a vapor cloud fire. The pool surface area is limited by concrete dikes containing the release. This sphere has a deluge system, and foam blanketing was assumed to be applied within 30 minutes of the release. This ARS event has the potential to reach an offsite endpoint, but only neighboring industrial facilities might be affected.
We take a systematic, proactive approach to preventing accidental releases of hazardous chemicals. Our management systems address each of the key features of successful prevention programs including: Process safety information, process hazard analysis, operating procedures, training, mechanical integrity, management of change, pre-startup review, compliance audits, incident investigation, employee participation, hot work permit procedure and contractor safety.
As part of our prevention efforts, we have implemented the following chemical-specific prevention steps:
1. All tanks are pressurized with two levels of pressure relief with the first relieving to an abatement device at 80% of design pressure;
2. Temperature, pressure and level instrumentation including alarms. ;
3. All key parameters are monitored in a central control room;
4. All operations and maintenance employees are trained to the te
chnician level of HAZWHOPER;
5. Systems are pressure tested before chemicals are introduced;
6. Systems integrity is checked before and during each transfer ; and
7. Systems integrity is checked at frequent intervals during static conditions both by sight, sound and smell and an analyzer.
In addition the Propylene and Acetaldehyde Storage and transfer systems have:
1. Spheres designed and built to the ASME Code;
2. Automatic Shutdown;
3. Area leak detectors; and
4. All components are dedicated to propylene and acetaldehyde service.
These individual elements of our prevention program work together to prevent accidental chemical releases. Our company and our employees are committed to the standard that these management systems set for the way we do business, and we have specific accountabilities and controls to ensure that we are meeting our own high standards for accident prevention.
We keep records for all significant accidental chemical release
s that occur at our facility. There have been two accidents as a result of chemical releases. Both accidents were chemical exposures in 1995 resulting in restricted duty for less than a week.
For each of these incidents, we have conducted formal incident investigations to identify and correct the root causes of the events.
We maintain an emergency response and contingency plan, which consolidates all of the various federal, state, and local regulatory requirements for emergency response planning. Our program provides the essential planning and training for effectively protecting workers, the public, and the environment during emergency situations. Furthermore, we coordinate our plan with the community emergency response plan and we are members of the local Mutual Aid Association. Elements of our emergency response plan that reduce the impact on the defined receptors are: Community alert system, foam blanketing to reduce evaporation, deluge systems for
spheres, 6000 gpm pressurized fire water system, trained responders and frequent drills.
The following is a list of improvements that we are planning to implement at the facility to help prevent and/or better respond to accidental chemical releases:
1. Further development of the control room function including built-in interlocked (permissive) logic and integrated alarms,
2. Automatic valve closing in transfer process to prevent overfill,
3. Installation of automatic scales and more sophisticated meters to prevent contamination and overfills,
4. Implement a document management system that will allow operators to display procedures on control room displays, and
5. Development of a more rigorous management system for tracking equipment status as it moves from operations to maintenance and back (turnover procedures).


text: Celtics March for Life Tweet Photos by Mrs. Melissa McGuire (Select photo to view album) Providence Catholic students, faculty and chaperones traveled to Washington, DC in late January for the annual March for Life. While some may reduce being pro-life to simply opposing abortion, Mrs. Potempa (Moderator) encourages PCHS students to be truly pro-life. That is, to pray and live in such a way as to promote the sanctity of life in all phases. PCHS traveled to the nation's capital to raise their voices for those who have no voice, whether they be pre-born, dying, on death row, or living in violence and poverty. View Photo Album by Mrs. Melissa McGuire In their Own Words Cecilia Spesia '17 (Joliet) Since I was young, I have been taught the importance of valuing and defending the gift that is life, but as I grew into myself, this belief has become more personal. I was given a foundation from my family but have developed a fierce passion for being a voice for the voiceless. I think the March itself stood out to me because it is an opportunity to DO something about the injustice in the world. As an 18 year old, there are not many accessible ways to powerfully protest things that are unjust, inhumane, or immoral. The March has offered me the opportunity to rally with those who are on my side, but has also strengthened my beliefs and reminded me why I am pro-life. With my involvement in the March, I hope to help others to strengthen their views and to better understand the importance of defending life and speaking up for those who cannot. Even family and friends who are not pro-life might be sparked by my passion and begin to question their own beliefs or perhaps engage in a discussion. I think that the biggest problem with abortion is the lack of education and, by taking action, whether people agree or not, I may be creating an opportunity to educate people. In attending the March, I hope to start a ripple, however small, that will affect others in my community. Faith Morrison '17 (Mokena) I became involved with the March for Life because I wanted to be a part of something special. The March for Life is a great cause and to be a part of that is something truly amazing. Although individually it may seem like we may not be significant, when we come together, we can make a huge difference. With my involvement in the March for Life, I hope that together my classmates we can make a difference. Working together, we can stand up for what we as a community believe is right. Mark Cachey '17 (Tinley Park) My involvement with March for Life stems from my belief that life is sacred from conception until death. I hope this March will continue to show law-makers that this is a pressing issue and I want to use my voice for those who do not have one. Although it may be a challenge for law-makers to outlaw abortion entirely, the ultimate goal is to do abolish it entirely. I hope that my involvement with March for Life will help make others aware of the need to end abortion. Amy (Tryner) Potempa '93 (Respect Life Moderator & Theology Teacher) I became involved with the March for Life when I became moderator of the Respect Life Club. I wanted our students to talk about the Catholic values that promote human dignity at all phases of life and this was a great way to do that. I hope that our participation will give Providence Catholic students a chance to see how was can engage in respectful dialogue about issues that really matter. That we can be a voice for the voiceless and promote human dignity in our country.

Hi folks,
I've got an interesting issue I'm struggling to progress.
My setup is made up of 2 windows 2012R2 VMs:
VM#1 -- One acting as a proxy for remote clients, listening on port 8000
VM#2 - The other is the client with browser configured to use the proxy VM to get to the WWW. This VM also has an Azure AD Proxy connector agent that basically allows external users to get to internal apps via Azure > Connector > Back end apps. There's not a great deal to it and is basically provides reverse proxy access to internal application over a cloud proxy as a service.
Clients connections hit Azure, which then routes the client request down to the on-prem connector(VM#2), and onto whatever internal application is being addressed by means of internal DNS resolution. This works fine, however, if the client request is for a site that resolves to a public address(E.g. bbc.co.uk) then the response is received no probs, but I see no traffic listed for the site. If I do this from a browser on VM#2 then no probs and I see the site listed int eh activity window.
To be clear, the connection to the published site works as expected, but just doesn't show in the window. The same test to the same site does display in the window however. And I know it's definitely going via Fiddler as if I stop Fiddler then the browser just times out after attempting to reach the page.
My gut feel is that the TCP connection may be being reused between the client traffic heading to bbc, and the traffic of the connector agent talking to Azure, but I'm unable to prove this.
Would anyone know if there's a way to debug Fiddler to isolate behavior?
An Azure App Proxy diagram that illustrates the flow can be found here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-application-proxy-get-started
