Glycol 2 unit.

I am in Plaquemine. Evidently it came from Dow, but it hasn't been confirmed. My mom lives relatively close to Dow so I called her, she said it was loud, it sounded like it came from Dow..
Now the signals are going off.

That’s all I know. If it were at the big one in the north BR area I could be more insightful, but we just boil oil.

Help me out, what is glycol 2? Are there injuries? How bad is it?
Posted on 7/14/23 at 9:47 pm to Duckhammer_77
Ok, I live in Oak Hills and I think I heard it. I thought the kids dropped something but it seemed to come from outside.

I have no knowledge of that plant or if it’s the unit on fire, but glycol is usually produced using ethylene oxide. Vapor is heavier than air so it will collect in containment berms and find an ignition source. Highly flammable and doesn’t need oxygen to burn.

Ethylene Oxide

Someone smarter than me will need to answer that. All I know is it’s used to make antifreeze

Same thing happened back in 2019, I think.
