	Dyadem - Technical Papers
		One of the most important lessons of Flixborough, therefore, not mentioned in the official report, is the need, whenever possible, to reduce inventories of hazardous materials.
		Ten years after Flixborough the need to reduce inventories had still not been recognized; the industry was still confident that it could keep them under control.
		Flixborough started a debate on the extent to which governments should control hazardous industry.

	Stress corrosion cracking of chemical reactor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The catastrophic explosion at Flixborough in June 1974 has been traced to the failure of a bypass assembly introduced into a train of six cyclohexane oxidation reactors after one of the reactors was removed owing to the development of a leak.
		The leaking reactor, like the others, was constructed of 12.3 mm mild steel plate with 3 mm stainless steel bonded to it, and it developed a vertical crack in the mild steel outer layer of the reactor from which cyclohexane leaked leading to the removal of the reactor.
		Different types of steel are not equally susceptible to cracking as measured by the minimum stress to promote cracking or the concentration of the salt responsible for the corrosion reactions that cause crack propagation.

	Flixborough Anglo-Saxon Settlement, North Lincolnshire
		From the end of the 7th century, Flixborough was in receipt of wheel-thrown Seine valley pottery, together with other fl- and red-burnished wares from northern France and Belgium; whilst Badorf ware also arrived from Germany during the 9th century.
		The analysis of the Flixborough remains is also facilitating the testing and development of new scientific techniques for the biomolecular and spectral analysis of certain archaeological materials.
		Artefacts made from osseous materials from Flixborough are also being used by the Department of Chemistry, University of Bradford, to test the application of F-T Raman spectroscopy on ivory, bone, horn and antler derived from archaeological contexts.

		Flixborough, as the richest site of the period known in Lincolnshire, may well have been one of these royal centres, though this cannot be proven.
		There was no longstanding 'church' at Flixborough, but one building seems to have served as a mortuary chapel for the leading family for about 100 years from the mid-8th century.
		It is more likely, perhaps, that the aristocrats of Flixborough controlled the area and its inhabitants, and operated a kind of protection racket in which renders or gifts were offered up in return for the lord's favour, as well as for rights of access to woodland and to coastal resources.

		The Nypro plant operated by Royal Dutch Shell at Flixborough, near Scunthorpe, produced caprolactam, a chemical raw material further synthesised in the manufacture of nylon.
		The feedstuff for the process was a highly combustible cyclic hydrocarbon, some four hundred tonnes of which will fuel a fire for around ten days, sustaining temperatures in excess of a thousand degrees.

		In June 1974, a 2-year-old caprolactam plant near Flixborough was destroyed by a major explosion.
		Flixborough – Some Additional Lessons”, reprinted for this website, created so much interest that several hundred extra copies were reprinted as a tce supplement.
		Although it focused on the lessons for the future and was not meant as a backward-looking review of the causation hypotheses, much of this interest stemmed from its implicit explanation of (what tce termed) the “main alternative theory to that put forward by the Court”.

		Beside the human toll, the Flixborough disaster is important in that it awoke management to the threat that a single vapor cloud release could destroy an entire industrial facility.
		Studying the debris in the aftermath of a disaster like Flixborough is very difficult because the entire facility was severely damaged.
		Three months after Flixborough a massive leak from an LPG tank car in Houston’s Englewood rail yard had a delayed ignition that then set off a series of explosions and fire that burned for 31 hours.

	Flixborough FAQs
		A high-pressure escape normally results in a jet fire (not an explosion) when air is entrained with the fuel, close to the origin of the escape and the air, fuel and flames all travel in the same direction.
		A recent (2003) paper, “A Re-analysis of the Atmospheric and Ionospheric Effects of the Flixborough Explosion” re-examined the ionospheric record and suggests that 14±2 tons of cyclohexane was involved in the actual main explosion, precisely the value determined by the SMRE and DSM in 1974.
		Since posting “Flixborough Revisited” (January 2005), it has been claimed that “the 8" temperature distributions could be explained by the R6 jet fire discharge” (after the explosion) and the writer, in subsequent e-mail correspondence, appears unshaken in his belief – though, to us, it seems more than incredible.

	Abstract from 1996 SRA-Europe Annual Meeting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The destruction of the Flixborough Plant in 1974 proved instrumental in changing the approach to Onshore Energy Insurance.
		The Flixborough explosion was, therefore, instrumental in promoting a step change in the role of risk based techniques in Onshore Energy Insurance; albeit in the form of a relatively superficial indirect and qualitative estimate of accident likelihood and a very coarse estimate of consequences.
		K from the above discussions, the use of risk assessment pre-Flixborough could be classed as negligible and post-Flixborough as coarse and qualitative, then in the case of the Offshore Energy Sector its traditional role could be classed as virtually non-existent.

		For this period, it is important to establish the significance to the local economy of wild and domestic geese, but hitherto this has been limited by our inability to identify their bones confidently to species level.
		Although thousands of geese fragments were excavated from Flixborough, only very general statements can be made about wildfowling techniques and habitat exploitation by humans on the Trent and Humber floodplains during the Middle and Late Saxon period.
		Our aim for the Flixborough material is to produce a success rate of specimens with DNA of perhaps as high as 80-90%.

	Flixborough Cyclohexane Explosion
		A Nypro factory was located at Flixborough where large quantities of cyclohexane were used to produce nylon.
		Oxidisation of the cyclohexane produced a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol The oxidisation took place in a series of six reactors, the reactors being joined by short 28 inch pipes with bellows.
		An interesting perspective can be gained by reading Flixborough 20 years after by Kletz or FLIXBOROUGH - 20 YEARS AFTER which look at the long term change (or lack thereof) as a result of the incident, including that no substitution by a new process had taken place.

		I remember Flixborough, I lived about about 7 miles from the explosion in the nearby village of Reedness (what a sh-t-hole).
		The bang was incredibly loud and looking outside there could be seen a mushroom cloud of fl smoke coming from the direct of Scunthorpe.
