Romania's Rompetrol Rafinare Petromidia refinery is operating at reduced capacity after an explosion took place Monday night in the area of the vacuum distillation plant, killing one worker and injuring another three, its parent company said on Tuesday.
"Based on the measurements on air emissions, following the fire, there were no recorded values that endanger the lives of employees and communities from the vicinity of the refinery or tourists, fact certified by CBRN analysis (Chemical, Biological, Radiologic and Nuclear parameters)," Kazakhstan's KazMunaiGas International (KMGI) said in a press release on Tuesday.
In May Romanian prosecutors seized the Petromidia refinery and other assets worth a total 3 billion lei ($738 million/671 million euro) belonging to Rompetrol and parent company KazMunayGas as part of an investigation into suspected violations related to the privatisation of the Rompetrol group.
