Astron Energy’s oil refinery in Cape Town, where a fire broke out last month killing two people and injuring seven others, remains closed while a full investigation into the incident is carried out. The former Chevron 100 000 bbl/d Milnerton refinery – which with the Caltex brand now fall under Astron Energy, a Glencore group company – was restarting after a planned maintenance shutdown when the fire broke out in the early hours of July 2.
