Oil tank blasts in chemical plant in Urumqi, sabotage ruled out
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-07-13 10:23 An oil tank explosion that occurred at a chemical plant in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Sunday morning had no link to sabotage, a company official said. Chemical experts assumed that a small amount of oil might had leaked from the tank and vaporized, setting off a blast amid high temperature. The explosion happened around 9:50 am at a refinery of the Urumqi Petrochemical Company, a subsidiary of the China National Petroleum Corporation, in the Midong district in northern Urumqi.
Patrolling workers of the plant found the No.13 tank on fire at around 9:50 am and immediately alerted company firefighting forces, said Liu. The fire was extinguished at 10:30 am. No casualties were reported. The exact cause of the accident is being investigated. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
