Re: Septic Tank Explosion: One Killed
JAKARTA, INDONESIA – A septic tank cleaner died when the tank he was working on exploded underneath him. CCTV footage of the incident shows a conversation between a homeowner and the employee. In an attempt to prove to the homeowner that the dislodging process was complete, the tank cleaner lights a piece of newspaper and puts it in the tank. A few seconds later, BOOM. The man falls into the tank and gets burned severely. He was transported to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. The explosion even threw the homeowner into the air, but luckily he didn’t fall inside. According to specialists, this happened because of the natural processes that occur in a septic tank. “There is a natural process that occurs in a septic tank. The process of decay, or fermentation of organic material or feces without oxygen. The process produces several types of gas, the most of which is methane, ” says Neni a researcher. “Methane gas is a flammable gas. Even though the septic tank is empty of liquid, who knows, gas might still be in there. If there is a fire, it will definitely explode.” |

Re: Septic Tank Explosion: One Killed
Not entirely correct, the UEL and LEL from methane are 16% UEL & 4.4% LEL What means that in this case the Oxygen/Air And Methane mixture was in a perfect balans for a explosion. Probably if he has done the fire trick Before emptying the tank Nothing would have happend Because lack of Oxygen. But since they emptied the tank the space got filled with fresh air, being sucked in while pumping the shit out. Creating the perfect fuel to air mixture for this awesome explosion The best results you get with Acetylene or Hydrogen. Both need almost zero Oxygen to reach the explosive state *Edit: UEL = Upper Explosion Limit LEL = Lower Explosion Limit |
