FLIXBOROUGH Explosion
• Produced caprolactam, a precursor chemical used in the
manufacture of nylon. The process involved oxidation of
cyclohexane with air in a series of six reactors to produce a
mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone.
• Two months prior to the explosion, a crack was discovered in
the number 5 reactor.
• It was decided to install a temporary 50 cm (20 inch) diameter
pipe to bypass the leaking reactor to allow continued operation
of the plant while repairs were made.
• At 16:53 on Saturday 1 June 1974, the temporary bypass pipe
(containing cyclohexane at 150°C and 1 MPa) ruptured,
possibly as a result of a fire on a nearby 8 inch (20 cm) pipe
which had been burning for nearly an hour.
