The oil refinery Lukoil in the Black Sea port of Burgas will be fined with 125 thousand euro for gassing the city on 31 March. The size of the fine imposed on Lukoil Neftochim Burgas is unprecedented for the refinery. The violation is gross, hence the fine, explained Minister of Environment and Water Ivelina Vassileva. The launch of the new “gas sulfur” installation in the refinery caused the gassing of Burgas with hydrogen sulfide exceeding 36 times the admissible norm, said the Director of the Regional Environmental Inspection Tonka Atanasova. During a second check yesterday no pollution was found. The stance of the refinery is that totally windless weather led to local deterioration of air quality and that all precautions have been taken to contain the negative impact. This has been the worst gassing of the city since 2012.
