Leakage of water is likely to have caused the blast in a 20-tonne electric arc furnace
at a factory. The accident
claimed two lives and left seven others injured. Water is used as a
coolant in electric arc furnaces. In case water, in sufficient
quantities, leaks into a hot furnace,
a violent steam explosion is triggered.Treat water with respect!
