Böhlen (dpa / sn) - After a technical problem in Dow Chemical's chemical park in Böhlen, a torch is currently burning from afar. In addition, there are noise emissions, Dow Germany announced on Wednesday.
In mid-May, the cracker, which produces ethylene and propylene from naphtha, was shut down after a steam supply failure. Production is now gradually being resumed, which is why the torch burns at times with a visible glow and soot formation. The 145 meter high torch is a safety device. Excess hydrocarbon gases are safely burned in it.
