Operations at the Izmit refinery of Turkiye Petrol Rafinerileri AS, Turkey’s biggest industrial company, are continuing as normal after a fire broke out at a compressor unit, forcing a deactivation of the unit, the company said.
Twelve workers were slightly injured due to the incident, the company told Bloomberg in an email. “Other operations at the refinery are continuing as normal,” it said. The fire occurred during maintenance work at the compressor unit at around 1:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday. The fire “isn’t expected to have any major financial and operational impact,” it later said in a separate filing to Borsa Istanbul.
