Incident Narrative
"AT 8:37 ON DECEMBER 14, 2020 CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL AT MAGELLAN'S PLATTEVILLE STATION IDENTIFIED PRODUCT SPRAY NEAR UNIT 2. OPERATIONS WAS NOTIFIED AND UNIT 2 WAS SHUT DOWN. CLEANUP ACTIVITIES WERE INITIATED. AN INVESTIGATION IDENTIFIED THE CYCLONIC SEPARATOR GASKET ON UNIT 2 AS THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK. THE CYCLONIC SEPARATOR HAD BEEN CLEANED IN OCTOBER 2020 AND THE INCORRECT GASKETS WERE PROVIDED BY THE DISTRIBUTOR AND INSTALLED. MAGELLAN CONTACTED THE DISTRIBUTOR TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THEY ENSURED THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE."
