Excess Pipeline Gas
Pressurized excess gas trapped in the refinery's pipeline and impeller system surges under Robson's order for release in the Impeller Room. Chief, Van Lutyens, Robson, and Price witness the action as valves open, equalizing pressure and halting immediate alarms. The release buys fleeting stability amid feed drops and slowdowns, but leaves deeper malfunctions unchecked, exposing Robson's quick-fix approach under mounting scrutiny.
