Fire forces Chennai Petro to shut down unit
CHENNAI: The Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd has shut down the fluidised catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) at its refinery at Manali, near here, following a fire on Tuesday night.
According to officials in the company, the fire broke out before midnight and was brought under control within 30 minutes. No one was injured. The fire is suspected to have been caused by a leak in a pipeline.
They said it would take about a week for the FCCU to start operating again. While regular production at the main crude distillation unit would not be affected, production of LPG and motor spirit would be affected. The production capacity of LPG was 350 t
onnes per day and motor spirit 1000 tonnes per day, the sources said. -- Our Bureau
