Investigation Summary
On May 8, 2012, four refinery workers were in the middle of a chemical tank draining process. A mixture of alkali and butane was being drained from a tank into a drainage system. The butane came in contact with an ignition source and ignited, creating a flash fire. The four employees were hospitalized with burns.
