Narrative
A bolt in the victaulic coupling on the pump pulsation stabilizer failed, allowing the coupling to come loose and oil to escape from the top of the pulsation stabilizer. The controller noticed an increase in the flow rate from this pump station, shut down the pump and contacted field personnel to investigate. The field technician arrived on location, verified that the pulsation stabilizer was leaking and closed the appropriate valves to isolate the pulsation stabilizer and stop the flow of oil. All oil was contained on company property with the bulk of the oil contained inside the tank dike. Tank trucks were called in to pick up the oil and pump the recovered oil back into an isolated storage tank. All 5 victaulic couplings on pulsation stabilizers in the rose rock system were replaced with new couplings from the factory. Approximately 45 cubic yards of soil was remediated on- site and, after testing and with approval from the kansas department of health and environment, installed to its original location.
