This is with reference to your e-mail dated 29th May, 2018 seeking clarification in respect of news item appeared in www.thehindubusinessline.com captioned 'Gas Leak reported at GNFC's TDI Unit in Dahej'.
In this connection, we would like to convey that on 28th May, 2018 at around 22:47 Hrs., a minor gas leak was noticed from Absorption Tower Circulation Pump. The same was immediately sensed by alarm and gas leak detector system and as a precautionary measure, immediate safe shutdown of the equipment was taken. The said leakage has remained localized and within the plant premise only, which was stopped in 13 minutes. As a matter of precaution and strict safety protocol, Rahiyad Villagers were immediately informed and alerted. Safe shutdown actions of the plant were taken.
As emergency safety actions, the company measured the extent of gas leakage repeatedly in the village areas and it was found that there were no traces of gases at all. On the contrary, safety protocols have been found to be very successful. Few Villagers on their own insistence were examined by the company's Doctors and all of them were found not affected by gas leakage and were declared safe and discharged.
The above incident was of a localized nature and it was for a very short duration leak and there was no gas ingress to area outside the plant. The plant will soon get operationalized after taking necessary actions. There is practically no impact on the business of the company since we are supplying material from the existing stock and our TDI-I Plant at Bharuch.
We request you to kindly take note of the above.
