The explosion of the scrubber tower in the decarboxylation unit of Hubei Yihua Group Company on June 18 The explosion occurred on June 18, 1998, in the scrubber tower of the decarboxylation unit of Hubei Yihua Group Company, resulting in 4 deaths and 3 injuries, with direct economic losses of around 180,000 yuan. The washing tower in the decarburization section where the explosion occurred was converted from a liquefied gas storage tank in 1986; without the approval of the design department, nor were regular inspections conducted by specialized pressure vessel inspection agencies, with only periodic self-inspections of the wall thickness being carried out. Therefore, the potential hazard of the bottom of the scrubber being eroded and thinned over time was not detected before the accident occurred, which led to the incident.
