Narrative
On 10/12/14 at approximately 11:58, the kinder morgan dewitt pump station experienced a release of approximately .48 barrels of condensate. During a routine startup of pump #307, the scada operator received a seal failure alarm. A facility operator who was also on site during the startup noticed the release as well and called for a line shut down. The pump did not start and the mainline was immediately shut down. The suction and discharge valves were closed to isolate the pump, and local management was notified. The product released was caught in engineered containment and all product was recovered via a vacuum truck and the unit and the containment were cleaned. Our investigation determined the release was a result of a pump seal failure. The repair cost for the seals is approximately $13,785.00
