Tanjung Malim: Letupan di sebuah stor penyimpanan barangan kelapa sawit di ladang Risda, Ulu Slim, di sini, malam kelmarin bukan saja mengakibatkan lapan pekerjanya cedera parah, malah mengakibatkan cermin serta dinding tiga bangunan yang terletak berhampiran terjejas teruk.


Kejadian jam 11.20 malam itu turut mengakibatkan hampir keseluruhan bengkel berkeluasan 456 meter persegi itu musnah membabitkan kemusnahan barangan ladang kelapa sawit termasuk racun dan baja.

Ketua Operasi Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat Slim River Md Zin Mohd Saadin berkata, pihaknya menerima panggilan sekitar jam 11.22 malam dan sebaik saja anggotanya sampai di lokasi kejadian, stor berkenaan hampir 80 peratus terbakar.


“Ketika kami sampai, stor sudah terbakar hampir keseluruhannya. Selain api yang marak, beberapa letupan kecil turut kedengaran dan kami percaya ia berpunca daripada barangan didalamnya. “Bomba memadamkan kebakaran menggunakan empat aliran keseluruhannya,” katanya.

Menurutnya, kejadian kebakaran itu dilihat antara yang terburuk apabila beberapa bangunan dan kenderaan di ladang itu turut terjejas.

“Tiga bangunan termasuk dua rumah pengurusan dan satu surau antara yang terjejas akibat letupan itu. Selain semua cermin dan tingkap pecah, bahagian siling serta dinding bangunan itu turut mengalami keretakan teruk.


“Malah, keempat-empat traktor diletakkan dua meter dari stor itu turut musnah, “ katanya di sini, semalam.

Beliau berkata, kejadian turut mengakibatkan pekerja ladang berkenaan cedera parah ketika memadamkan api.


“Saya difahamkan, semua pekerja ladang sedang bermain ping pong 38 meter dari lokasi kebakaran. Namun, sebaik letupan berlaku, mereka cuba memadamkan api,” katanya.-myMetro

Why fertilizer can be an explosive mixture

An explosion at a Texas fertilizer plant April 18 killed at least five, injured 160 and forced locals to remain indoors as officials feared further explosions or leaks of ammonia from the plant's ruins.

Fertilizer is commonly used to help farm crops grow better and make lawns greener. But one of the ingredients often employed in the manufacturing process, ammonium nitrate, is highly fickle and can feed an explosion under the right circumstances.

Most plants require some combination of 16 different nutrients to grow properly. Some of these come from air and water, but plants derive most nutrients from soil, which doesn't always contain all the substances they need to thrive. Farmers compensate for poor soil by using either animal manure or fertilizer to replenish the nutrients.

Worldwide, fertilizer plants produce about 170,000,000 tonnes of fertilizer nutrients annually, according to the International Fertilizer Industry Association.

Plants like West Fertilizer Co. in Waco, Texas, where the April 18 explosion occured, manufacture fertilizer for commercial use. Producing fertilizer involves treating raw materials to either purify them or increase their concentration, changing them into plant-available forms, and frequently combining materials so they contain multiple nutrients, according to IFIA.

There have been other explosions at fertilizer plants, including one on Sept. 21, 2001, at an AZF plant about 3 kilometers outside the city centre of Toulouse, France. About 300 tonnes of ammonium nitrate exploded, killing 29 and injuring at least 2,500. It shattered windows up to 5 kilometres away, and resulted in about 40,000 insurance claims. http://www.cbc.ca/
