A fire at BP PLC's (BP.LN) Lingen refinery Tuesday left one person
seriously injured with severe burns, the company and local police said
Wednesday.
BP said the fire, which occurred in the crude distillation unit of the
refinery, was brought under control 20 minutes after it broke out. It was
extinguished shortly afterwards, a BP spokesman said.
According to a local police spokesman, another person suffered minor injuries.
BP said parts of the refinery linked to the affected facility have been shut
down. However, the refinery has a second oil distillation facility and that is
still up and running, the company said. BP said it was unable to give an
indication of how much output had been lost as a result of the incident.
The refinery has a capacity of 93,000 barrels a day, according to BP. It
produces aviation fuels, gasolines, middle distillates, and fuel oil as well as
other products.
