Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--On Tuesday, Calcasieu Refining restarted its 135,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) refinery in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The refinery was shut down in early June following a naphtha tank fire and explosion caused by a lightning strike as storms moved through. No injuries were reported.
When the fire started, the tank contained around 46,000 barrels, according to reporting from the KPLC TV news website, citing Greg Langley, spokesman for the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.
Industrial Info is tracking a project to demolish and replace a 1 million-barrel crude storage tank that was damaged by the lightning strike.
