Smelter workers escape unharmed from steam Trail Times
Several Teck Cominco workers escaped from a lunchroom on a fire ladder Wednesday after their plant filled with steam.
The incident began with the "sudden decompression" of a vessel in the lead and zinc smelter's pressure leaching plant, Teck spokeswoman Carol Vanelli said. "This caused a large amount of steam to vent into the plant."
None of the workers in the plant at the time was injured.
"It was not a fire, it was not an explosion. It was nothing like what we experienced last week at the lead smelter," Vanelli said. "It wasn't routine but we do have upsets in our plants from time to time."
Last week's explosion in a waste-heat boiler in the lead smelter is also still under investigation.------------------------------------------- posted 9:54 PM :: reference link ::
