Exxon Mobil Corp. said compressor and air problems caused
operational issues with "multiple units" and gas emissions at its
refinery in Beaumont, Texas.
In a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality,
the refinery said the above-normal emissions began Tuesday and
lasted nearly 11 hours.
"Multiple unit upsets due to loss of instrument air and
compressor," the refinery said in the regulatory filing. "An
alternate line-up of instrument air was established and process
streams were routed to flare to minimize emissions. Compressor has
been restarted. Instrument technicians are currently
troubleshooting the failure."
When asked for any additional details, Sarah Nordin, an Exxon
spokeswoman, said Wednesday the company as a practice doesn't
comment on specific units at refineries. "We continue to meet
contractual commitments," she added.
The 362,000-barrel-a-day Beaumont refinery is 90 miles east of
Houston.
