A fire broke out at Rain CII Carbon LLC’s plant at Gramercy, USA, on Thursday.
“A fire occurred in the calcined coke storage dome on June 7, 2012. The flames have been extinguished and local fire officials are continuing to pour water on the smouldering areas and there are no injuries,’’ Rain Commodities Ltd informed the Bombay Stock Exchange on Friday.
The management was monitoring the situation and necessary precautions were being taken to protect the calciner facilities, terminals, employees and the surrounding communities, it added.
Rain CII Carbon, a step-down subsidiary of the Hyderabad-based Rain Commodities, is one of the leading producers of calcined petroleum coke.
Rain CII has the capacity to produce more than 2.4 million tonnes of CPC annually, representing 10 per cent of the world’s requirement. Rain CII has seven plants in the US.
