An unfortunate accident occurred today at around 1.55 pm at HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Ltd. (HRRL) at Pachpadra, Balotra. There was a fire in the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) section of the refinery complex. Prima facie, it appears that leakage of hydrocarbons through one of the valves/flanges in the heat exchanger circuit caused the fire. The fire was promptly brought under control by the emergency response team of HRRL with support from the local Administration. There is no loss of life or injury to any personnel. The fire was localized in the heat exchangers stack. Crude Distillation Unit (CDU), Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU), and all other Units of the CDU section were quickly isolated. All are structurally safe and unaffected. No other section of the refinery has suffered any impact. The cause of this fire and its impact on the Unit are being assessed and investigated by a team of internal and external experts. We thank the Government of Rajasthan for its support. @HardeepSPuri @PetroleumMin @TheSureshGopi @neerajmittalias @Secretary_MoPNG
