"AT 13:16 ON 1/21/18 A HAZARDOUS GAS ALARM WAS RECEIVED BY OPERATIONS CONTROL. PLC PROGRAMMING ASSOCIATED WITH THE HAZARDOUS GAS ALARM AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN PUMPS P1010 AND P1030 LOCATED IN THE PUMP BUILDING AT EL DORADO EAST. SUCTION AND DISCHARGE VALVES WERE AUTOMATICALLY CLOSED WHEN THE UNIT SHUT DOWN. ONCE THE PUMP ROOM WAS DEEMED SAFE FOR ENTRY, LOCAL PERSONNEL CLOSED THE ISOLATION VALVES FOR P1010. THE PUMP WAS DRAINED AND FREE PRODUCT ON THE PUMP BASED WAS CLEANED WITH ABSORBENT PADS AND VAC TRUCK. LOCAL PERSONNEL INVESTIGATED AND FOUND P1010 WAS LEAKING FROM THE BALANCE TUBE ON THE PUMP CASE. VIBRATION RESONANCE ON THE BALANCE LINE CAUSED A CRACK IN THE WELD. SULZER WAS CALLED OUT TO PERFORM REPAIRS. SULZER COMPLETED A NEW WELD AND INSTALLED A BRACKET TO ABSORB/DAMPEN THE VIBRATION."
