Company Decides Not To Rebuild Ga. Chlorine Plant With History Of Fires [1]

"CONYERS, Ga. — The company that operated a Georgia chlorine plant with a history of explosions, chemical fires and toxic clouds that have drifted over neighborhoods outside Atlanta has decided not to rebuild the main manufacturing facility in Conyers.

In a statement, BioLab Inc. said it has been unable to resume manufacturing operations in Conyers after the most recent catastrophe on Sept. 29.

“After taking steps to meet customer needs through alternative production, and in considering our future business needs carefully, we have made the difficult decision not to restart manufacturing at the Conyers plant,” it said.

Though manufacturing won’t restart, the company’s Conyers distribution center will remain operational and fill customer orders for products from other manufacturing facilities, BioLab said."
