24 hours of emissions, courtesy Dow

Dow reports:

During the preparation of a quench oily water heat exchanger for maintenance, pyrolysis gasoline entered the steam/condensate system and was released to the air.
The heat exchanger was isolated from the steam system within 32 minutes of discovery. Emissions from the steam/condensate system are estimated to continue for 24 hours.

We HATE IT when that happens.
