suffered steam burns while performing work at a unit and have been
hospitalized, a spokesman said Wednesday.
The incident took place at

p.m. CDT
(2100 GMT) on Tuesday. One of the employees was flown to the
University
of
Texas
Medical
branch in
Galveston
,
Texas
, and
the other was taken by ambulance to the

The refinery was the site of a fatal explosion in 2005, which killed 15,
injured hundreds, and resulted in unprecedented fines for the U.K.-based oil
giant. Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency said it was launching an
investigation into a benzene release that began April 6 and lasted until May to
determine whether the refinery violated the Clean Air Act.
