Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA reported an electricity
outage that caused above-normal emissions and flaring Friday at its
refinery in Port Arthur, Texas.
"A power loss experienced at the refinery led to a loss of steam
that resulted in emissions of acid gas from the tail gas thermal
oxidizers and flaring to occur," the refinery said in a statement
to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Total said the emissions, including sulfur dioxide, began
Thursday and ended Friday, lasting 21 hours total.
The 225,000-barrel-a-day Total Port Arthur refinery is 95 miles
east of Houston.
