01-05: Cooling Tower #4, Fan FailureThe Chocolate Bayou Plant is a world class chemical plant located in Alvin, Texas about 40 miles south of Houston. The plant chemical processes are cooled by 3 mechanical draft cooling towers with a combined recirculation rate of 267,000 gpm. In March, Cooling Tower 4 experienced a catastrophic failure of the #8 fan. The root caused investigation indicated serious corrosion problems with fan equipment, reliability problems with vibration detection
