On or about November 24, 2018, employees who were troubleshooting and removing an electrical centrifugal pump downstream from the I-100 fractionator column did not isolate the re-boiler loop line that fed back into the distillation column causing a leak of vegetable grade palmitic fatty acid (product #TRV1695) that was at approximately 500 degrees Fahrenheit and under a vacuum. As the TRV1695 leaked out of the open pump, it ignited resulting in a large conflagration.
