TotalEnergies Petrochemicals & Refining USA on Tuesday
reported an equipment breakdown at its refinery in Port Arthur,
Texas, that caused reduced operating rates at some units and
excessive gas emissions.
"A blower at Sulfur Recovery Unit 4 Incinerator failed, creating
emissions at several sulfur recovery units and the Delayed Coker
Unit," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. "Acid gas shedding steps were implemented,
and rates were reduced at all acid gas producing units."
It said the emissions of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and
other gases began Monday and ended Tuesday morning, lasting about
16 hours in all.
The 225,000-barrel-a-day TotalEnergies Port Arthur refinery is
located 95 miles east of Houston.
