Abstract:

On November 13, 2020, a graphite heat exchanger cracked during maintenance activities, releasing gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl) at the Wacker Polysilicon North America facility in Charleston, Tennessee. The incident occurred on the fifth floor of an equipment access structure when a contractor pipefitter applied excessive torque to flange bolts on a heat exchanger outlet pipe, causing the pipe to crack and release HCl.

Tyler will provide a summary of the CSB鈥檚 investigation, detailing the cause, safety issues, and resulting recommendations.
