Statement to the emergency situation in Zaluzi

13-08-2015  

​An emergency situation occurred today at the ethylene unit followed by a subsequent fire. According to the latest information from the site, the fire is already being kept under control and the facilities are being cooled down.  The remaining propylene in the affected place needs to burn out, therefore the fire will continue in a limited extent for some time. 

Based on a meeting of the Crisis Committee held at 4:00 pm it was made a decision that until tomorrow remains in place for preventative reasons a restricted operation under which only basic operational functions of the plant will be provided. The roads 1/27 going through the chemical complex in Záluží remains closed.

Employees were preventively evacuated. We do not have any information about any accidents or injuries of employees at this moment.
