Exxon Mobil Corp. reported operational and equipment issues and
excessive emissions over the weekend at its oil refinery in
Beaumont, Texas.
"Equipment failure caused the CO [carbon monoxide] boiler to
trip because of low air flow," the refinery said in a statement to
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, noting emissions of
carbon monoxide and other gases began Sunday morning and lasted
into the afternoon, about 12 hours total.
"The CO boiler was bypassed while operations personnel worked to
restore normal operations," the refinery added. "Production rates
were reduced to minimize excess emissions while operations
continued to meet contractual agreements."
The 366,000 barrel-a-day Beaumont refinery produces about 2.8
billion gallons of gasoline a year and is located 90 miles east of
Houston.
