Explosion rocks Husky Energy refinery in Lima, Ohio
A loud explosion rocked Husky Energy's 155,000 barrel per day (bpd) crude oil refinery in Lima, Ohio, early on Saturday but no injuries were reported.     
     
The blast at about 6 a.m. local time (1300 GMT) was heard across the city of Lima, according to local media reports.            

All personnel were accounted for at the refinery, Husky spokesman Mel Duvall said. He did not say which units were involved in the fire or how production was affected.              

A Lima-area emergency management official told the Lima News that the explosion was on the 26,000 bpd Isocracker unit. An isocracker is a type of hydrocracking unit, which uses hydrogen under high heat and pressure to increase the amount of motor fuels made from crude oil.            

The weather in the northern United States has been bitterly cold this week, with some areas seeing wind chill temperatures  below 0 Fahrenheit (below -17 Celsius).           

BP Plc shut a crude distillation unit at its Whiting, Indiana, refinery on Thursday night.          

Husky is Canada's third largest integrated energy company and is controlled by Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing.
