Cause of the BioLab Explosion in Conyers
The Conyers BioLab facility manufactured pool cleaning products that contain trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA). This chemical gradually dissolves in water and releases chlorine.
When a sprinkler malfunctioned[1] at the plant, TCCA was exposed to small amounts of water and didn’t properly dissolve. This triggered a chemical reaction that caused the fire and released toxic chlorine gas.
Although the fire was originally controlled[2] , it reignited when products were being removed from the building.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time BioLab’s Conyers facility has had fires that promoted highway closures and evacuations. The company was investigated for similar incidents that took place in 2004, 2016, and 2020[3] .
A $7 million settlement[4] was made available to residents and business owners impacted by the 2004 BioLab fire, which caused 300 people to evacuate.
BioLab has repeatedly failed to safely store their reactive chemicals and prevent them from getting wet. This ongoing issue has once again put members of the community at risk.

“The fire ignited when a sprinkler head malfunctioned around 5 a.m. Sunday at the BioLab plant in Conyers, Rockdale County Fire Chief Marian McDaniel told reporters. The malfunction caused water to mix with a water-reactive chemical, producing a plume of chemicals.”

“During a Sunday morning press conference, officials explained that the fire began when a malfunctioning sprinkler released water onto a reactive chemical, causing a small fire and a large plume of smoke. Though the initial fire was controlled around noon, it reignited as chemicals were being removed from the building.”
