Xingang Port oil spill : ウィキペディア英語版 | Xingang Port oil spill
The Xingang Port oil spill is a spill that occurred in July 2010 caused by a rupture and subsequent explosion of two crude oil pipelines that run to an oil storage depot of the China National Petroleum Corporation in Xingang Harbour, Dalian, Liaoning Province, China. The 1,500 tonnes of oil spilled from the pipes created an slick in the Yellow Sea that grew to within a week.〔 〕 By July 21, the spill had spread to , and stretched as far as along the coast.〔 〕 ==Incident==
The spill occurred after a process to desulfurize oil in a pipeline at the port began, which triggered a fire, which subsequently burned for 15 hours. The fire burned from oil that was released from a filled storage tank with a 90,000 ton capacity that collapsed as a result of the fire. Oil from other nearby tanks was, according to a Greenpeace report released several weeks after the incident, intentionally released to prevent the fire from expanding towards a tank containing dimethylbenzene, a flammable chemical.〔
