Crews are working to extinguish a large fire at a Houston-area refinery that has left four people injured. The fire started at about 1 a.m. Thursday at ExxonMobil’s refinery in Baytown, which is about 25 miles east of Houston. The company says four people were hurt, but everyone else on site is accounted for.

As many as four people may have been injured during an overnight explosion at Exxon Mobil’s Baytown facility, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. The sheriff tweeted that deputies were on the scene of a major industrial accident at 3525 Decker Drive in Baytown. “Some injuries have been reported. Please avoid the area,” he tweeted.

He said three people had been transported by LifeFlight and one by ambulance to hospitals.

Wrong. Your info is about Beaumont, this is Baytown.

The fire is said to have started in a hydrotreater unit that was being repaired by the contractors 'due to a bypass line leak'.

Bruh, we started the threads like a minute apart. I’m sorry you had to see two threads on the same topic. I hope you will recover before Christmas.

Don't know what happened to my post before this OP put his up.
"Gasoline Unit" which tells me naphtha reformer (including desulfurizer which is a hydrotreater) or alkylation unit. The hydrogen in any hydrotreater would make a big boom.

I’m assuming it was the lack of details in your thread. I didn’t see it until after I had hit submit.

Did Exxon Baytown ever end their lockout of hourly employees? I googled, but didn't seen any news on the situation since October 6th.

Hydrotreating goes boom due the hydrogen. There wasn't a boom

..........and just like that the price of gas went to $4.00 a gallon.

Gonna have to raise crawfish prices too.

Seriously, what will this do to fuel supply? This a major refinery I assume?

Reading through twitter, a few people said there was a boom and it shook their house. Said it sounded like a very loud train connecting cars.
Pure Hydrogen itself won't necessarily make a boom, unless it was a pipe or vessel rupture. A vapor cloud igniting will. A release and expanding vapor cloud will be much heavier than hydrogen. Pure hydrogen tends to lif tup very quickly. Gasoline and other similar vapors don't dissipate as rapidly as pure hydrogen or methane.

It will have minimal impact…there are other refineries on the ship channel that supply more barrels than XOM does to the domestic market.
