There are fail safe valves that require a constant air signal to stay open or closed depending on the needed action. If the signal is lost, the valve FAILS in a SAFE position.

Yup
The valves will be selected to fail on loss of air or control signal appropriately.

It's an ebulating bed hydrocracker. Only a handful of those in the world. Hydrocracker on steroids. Cracks the absolute heaviest crude bottoms using hi hi pressure. I think above 3000# pressure unit.
How long would something like this stay off line and what affects would it have on the rest of the plant?
Assuming they determine the cause relatively quickly and work on bringing it back on line.

This thread is like a microcosm of the best and the worst of the OT.
Great place to disseminate useful information in a timely manner, but you'll have to wade through mounds of useless horseshite from pointless bickering in order to find it.

I can see the plant from my backyard.

The plant itself should be able to stay online as long as the incident is just in that one unit. Crude and others may have to cut rate as they should have a way to route that heavy feed for eb bed to storage while its down. But I can't say for sure.
