Grupa Azoty Polyolefins S.A. reports that on February 27, 2024, controlled hydrocarbon flaring occurred at the Polimery Police project site. Increased flare activity is characterized by a visible light effect from a distance and may also produce a sound effect. In some cases, black smoke may be visible in addition to the flame. The formation of black smoke is due to an insufficient amount of added steam, preventing its formation, during a sudden larger, temporary, unforeseen (emergency) influx of hydrocarbons to the flare. This lasts for a few minutes until the appropriate amount of steam is added. During normal operation, when there is a stable or planned release of hydrocarbons, steam is added simultaneously or in advance, preventing the formation of black smoke.
