Fire at Iran's Abadan refinery contained, one dead

DUBAI, July 19 (Reuters) - A fire broke out on Saturday at a unit of Iran's Abadan refinery, killing one employee, before being brought under control, the Iranian oil ministry's news agency reported. It said operations were unaffected. "According to initial technical probes, the cause of the fire was a leak in one of the pumps in Unit 70, and no evidence of sabotage or human intervention has been observed so far," SHANA said. Several workers suffered burns, and as many as three were in serious condition, Abadan governor Khosrow Pirhadi told state TV, adding that worn-out parts at the refinery may have caused the incident. Local news agencies carried videos showing large flames and plumes of dark smoke rising from part of the refinery, Iran's oldest crude processing facility. Abadan is in the southwestern Khuzestan province, currently among the hottest places in the world with temperatures close to 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit). The refinery, like almost all Iranian oil and gas processing plants, needs major works and renovation after decades of international sanctions.

Fire contained at Iran's Abadan refinery, one dead, SHANA says

DUBAI, July 19 (Reuters) - A fire that broke out on Saturday at a unit of Iran's Abadan refinery, killing one employee, has been brought under control, Iran's oil ministry's SHANA news agency reported. It said operations were unaffected. "According to initial technical probes, the cause of the fire was a leak in one of the pumps in Unit 70, and no evidence of sabotage or human intervention has been observed so far," Shana reported. State television said firefighters from Abadan and nearby areas had responded. Local new agencies earlier carried videos showing large flames and dark stacks of smoke rising from a segment of the refinery, Iran's oldest crude processing facility in the southwestern oil-rich Khuzestan Province, which is currently among one of the hottest places in the world. Temperatures are nearly 50 degrees Celsius (122°F). The refinery, like almost all Iranian oil and gas processing plants, needs major works and renovation.
