On Aug. 15, 2007, a four-man crew cut off a pipeline that feeds the refinery's distillation unit after it caught fire. The contents of the unit burned out within an hour. No one was injured.
On May 6, 2007, a furnace exploded and caught fire, sending a huge plume of black smoke into the air. No one was injured in that incident and no homes were evacuated.
In 2005, a fire erupted when a tube carrying hydrogen and diesel fuel ruptured inside a furnace at the refinery. The fire burned for a half hour. No one was injured.
In 2003, asphalt inside a tank exploded and caught fire, again sending a plume of black smoke into the air and causing about $100,000 damage. No one was injured in that incident.
