Texas oil refinery explosion injures three workers
A Monday night boiler explosion at a Texas oil refinery has left three workers injured.
The accident took place at Big Spring Alon Refinery at around 8:30pm. All three of the injured workers taken to the hospital have since been treated and released. Though the explosion was steam-related, none of the injured workers suffered burns.
Refinery officials have declined to discuss the cause of the explosion, but do say the incident has had no impact on production.
The accident remains under internal investigation, and will also be investigated by OSHA.
Monday night’s explosion is the second in less than two years for the facility. In February 2008, the refinery was severely damaged in a fire caused by gas from a propylene tank.
