Marathon Detroit refinery fire began during tank fueling: filing Apr 28th 2013, 21:26 HOUSTON | Sun Apr 28, 2013 5:26pm EDT HOUSTON (Reuters) - Marathon Petroleum Corp's reported a Saturday night fire broke out in a sour water tank at its 106,000 barrel per day (bpd) Detroit refinery, while the tank was being fueled, according to a notice filed with the U.S. National Response Center. Marathon declined to discuss operations at the refinery on Sunday. On Saturday, Marathon said there were no injuries due to the blaze and the refinery continued to operate normally. The cause of the fire is unknown, according to the notice, which became available to the public on Sunday. Sour water is wastewater from the refining process.
