WHA International Investigates Severe Oxygen Storage Incident
WHA International, a specialist in oxygen safety and testing, was called upon to investigate a recent incident involving oxygen storage. The incident, severe enough to warrant a detailed investigation, involved disruptions in the filling of oxygen cylinders.
The investigation focused on the filling systems of oxygen cylinders, uncovering both operational and design issues related to oxygen storage. WHA International's aim was to draw lessons for the future and ensure the safety of oxygen storage systems.
Operational issues revealed during the investigation included disruptions in the filling process, potentially due to malfunctioning equipment or human error. Additionally, several design issues were highlighted, such as the potential vulnerability of the filling systems that oxygen cylinders connect to for refilling.
Medical-grade and industrial oxygen cylinders store large amounts of energy, and when things go wrong with oxygen storage, the outcome can be explosive. It is crucial to address these issues to prevent any future incidents.
