CPC Corp's refinery in the Kaohsiung area reported leaks of propylene gas. A loose connector in the six-inch piping system transporting the propylene to its Linyuan plant caused the leak, as per Wu Yi-fang, head of CPC's Talin refinery quoted in chinapost.com.cn.tw. But the plant took contingency measures to prevent a large volume of the propylene gas from leaking out, he said, estimating that it would take about two hours to clear any remaining gas from the pipe. To ensure safety, CPC and Kaohsiung's Environmental Protection Bureau were monitoring the flammability level of the gas at the scene and urged the public not to panic.
