TEHRAN (NIPNA) – A minor fire broke out at Fanavaran Petrochemical Company during the restart of its methanol unit following scheduled maintenance, the company said on Sunday.

 

According to the firm’s public relations office, the incident was caused by an oil leak from one of the rotating machines, which led to the ignition of lubricant and the emission of thick black smoke in part of the unit.

Emergency response teams quickly brought the fire under control. No injuries were reported, and safety protocols were promptly implemented to secure the affected equipment.

Fanavaran Petrochemical confirmed that all other production units at the complex remain fully operational and continue to function normally.
