Episode 68 - Incident Breakdown: 2019 Refinery Fire and Explosions at Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) with Guest Tim Murphy

In this episode, Rob and Molly are joined by previous podcast guest, Tim Murphy, to discuss the 2019 fire and explosions at Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES). In a previous role many years ago, Tim served as a process safety coordinator for the refinery, and although he was not employed there later when the incident occurred, he is able to provide additional context surrounding the incident due to this former role. In this episode, you'll learn a brief history of the facility, hear what happened on June 21, 2019 and why, and learn about the hazards associated with the refinery. You'll also hear the group's thoughts on a few of the US Chemical Safety board's findings, and the key lessons that other facilities in the process industry can take away from this incident.  Find the CSB's final investigation report and video here.
