Final narrative
An employee was clearing the pump to get the turbine ready for maintenance. While flushing the heavy coker gas oil (HCGO) pump, some HCGO got reintroduced into the pipe. When the hot oil (700 degrees) touched the water in the sewer drain, it flashed back and burned the employee. The employee suffered second degree burns to the abdomen and third degree burns to both hands and knees.
