I think there's probably people who would be interested in talking about a valve design flaw, but based on the Wikipedia article, seems like the valve may not be to blame. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_Grove_chemical_leak
Not really sure what your comment is about, but I am really interested in how a situation like this could be handled. The polymerizing chemical probably caused an isolation valve to stick shut. Sounds like the relief valve was working and by cooling the tank with water firefighters were able to decrease the pressure enough to have the relief valve close.
I guess I'm still a little confused about where the rupture hazard was coming from if the tank wasn't over pressurized and it wasnt really hot enough (~100 F) to decrease material properties of the tanks.
Maybe they were worried about the situation that they seemed to have under control turning into a runaway reaction?
I would do it for free!
I know this is a joke, but usually it's caused by old cartridges. If you replace the valve cartridge then it will probably mix better. This is usually from old/bad seals. This is why new valves mix fine, but as the seals age, mixing performance gets worse.
Pulling old cartridges can be a pain in the butt so probably best to call a plumber if you don't like diy adventures.
