The company buys scrap metals- anything with copper, brass, or bronze in it, and recycles it into pellets and ingots for casting houses.
Producing brass and bronze alloys is very delicate business, the metals have a sort of natural dislike for each other. If the temperatures aren't perfect, and the metals are not introduced in the precise order and quantities, you can get a very violent reaction.
Sounds like a gas furnace explosion, blew molten brass all over creation. RIP for the poor workers.
