Management of highly toxic Previous HitmarineNext Hit pollutant unexpectantly arising from offshore chemical cleaning operations

Daniel Hazell, Marc Lehmann, Joshua Corbett, and Ben Davis

A INPEX Australia, Perth, WA, Australia.

ABSTRACT

In 2022, an event involving the use of Lauramine-oxide in vapour-phase for steam cleaning of production vessels and pipework occurred on the INPEX-operated Ichthys Project central processing facility (CPF) and floating production storage offtake (FPSO) facilities. A thermal oxidation reaction converted Lauramine-oxide into Lauramine, a known Previous HitmarineNext Hit pollutant, which was subsequently discharged through drainage systems into the Previous HitmarineTop environment. This paper explores the key events, responses, and lessons learned from this incident.
