Fatal Accident at Valero Plant

摘要

Workers at a Texas refinery were trying to restart a giant industrial boiler when a catastrophic failure killed one worker and injured two others late on Friday, a company spokesman said. Valero Energy spokesman Bill Day also said the 245,000 b/d refinery in Texas City, 50 miles southeast of Houston, was currently operating at planned production levels. The boiler that failed was one of several providing power and steam at the refinery.
