Orica reports 100 kg liquid ammonia spill
Orica has reported a liquid ammonia spill at its Kooragang Island facility. According to the company, a leak developed at the plant and 100 kg of liquid ammonia had been lost but was contained on-site.
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA), NSW Fire and Rescue, NSW Police and HAZMAT have attended the scene.
“The ammonia vapour was suppressed with a water spray and fully contained on-site without impact on Orica’s Kooragang Island workforce or the surrounding community,” a statement on Orica’s website said.
“While the release was below reportable levels, Orica contacted relevant authorities and the fire service and regulators attended the site as a precautionary measure.”
