Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) reported a weekend shutdown of a gas
compressor linked to a gasoline-making Fluid Catalytic Cracking
Unit at its refinery in Baytown, Texas.
"Unplanned shutdown of Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit 2 wet
gas compressor resulted in safe utilization of the flare system,"
the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. "The event has ended. There is minimal
impact to production. We expect to meet our contractual
commitments."
It said the incident also led to above-normal gas emissions
Sunday that lasted more than five hours, and said the gas
compressor has returned to service.
The 561,000 barrel-a-day Baytown refinery is located 25 miles
east of Houston.
