Industrial Heater: Refinery industrial heaters (fired heaters) are essential, high-temperature units that burn fuel to heat or vaporize hydrocarbon fluids, typically for distillation and cracking processes. Designed to API 560 standards, they use radiant and convective heat to reach process temperatures of 1400–1600°F (760-870°C) for products like gasoline and diesel

Right on que. happens every year so they can manufacture a crisis and screw us at the pump. Unfortunately they forgot that we’re already in a crisis.

Remember when Russian oil refineries would randomly blow up at the start of their invasion of Ukraine and we laughed at how stupid Russians must be to not see that their country is under attack?

“Sheriff Zena Stephens tells FOX Beaumont the explosion was likely caused by an industrial heater.” I hope everyone is okay, and also, I would love to see a video of that initial explosion if it exists

I feel with shit going as crazy as it has the past 6 years, we’re going to see more and more of this type shit, as investors want more and more profit and cut corners in safety and quality more and more and more to get it. Idk maybe not, but I work in food manufacturing and I see how our product has slipped downhill since our factory opened 20 years ago due to corporate looking for ways to cut costs.

I was just there a few months ago. It’s a really weird place. Imagine an entire city but it’s actually all just oil refineries and gas storage. Pipes everywhere.

The timing of this is suspicious to me. False flag or sabotage hidden as an accident? Probably not (although these days..), but i doubt we’ll ever know. Unless, that is, they start blaming Iran tomorrow. Then we’ll know we did it to ourselves

So multiple fires?
That should help bring oil prices down during the current crisis. /s
Is it the hilariously under-unregulated oil and gas industry.
No. It’s the Iranians who did this.
