snoop1130 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Two workers were killed and three others sustained serious burns when a chemical storage tank exploded at a factory in Thailand’s eastern province of Rayong on Tuesday afternoon. The Map Ta Phut Tank Terminal Company said in a statement today (Wednesday) that the explosion occurred at about 3pm yesterday, as workers from Qualitech Engineering and Construction Company were repairing tanks in the factory compound, which are normally used to contain naphtha, a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture. Five workers went into an empty 90,000-cubic meter tank to remove chemical residue when, for an as yet unknown reason, sparks ignited, quickly followed by flames and then an explosion.
