Work Begins on Restoring Bu Ali Sina Petrochem Plant

Restoration of the damaged facilities in Bu Ali Sina Petrochemical Complex in Mahshahr City, Khuzestan Province, which caught fire over three years ago, has started, the Managing Director Mohammad Ahmadzadeh said.
A fire at the complex in the southwest broke out in July 2016 due to a technical problem that resulted in the leakage of paraxylene, a highly flammable fuel, and a subsequent blast, the Oil Ministry news agency Shana reported.
The fire was initially contained, but a second fire erupted at one of the complex's main storage units and continued for two days.
