Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) on Monday reported an unplanned
electricity issue that led to equipment shutdowns and gas emissions
at its refinery in Baytown, Texas.
"Temporary power interruption caused unplanned CLEU-3 [Catalytic
Light Ends Unit] compressor shutdowns, resulting in CLEU-3 safety
valve reliefs and safe utilization of the flare system," the
refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. "Subsequent FCCU-3 [Fluid Catalytic
Converter Unit] CO [carbon monoxide] boiler shutdown resulted in
elevated emissions at the wet gas scrubber."
It said the emissions began Sunday afternoon and lasted about 11
hours. "There is minimal impact to production," the refinery added.
"We expect to meet our contractual commitments."
The 561,000-barrel-a-day Baytown refinery is located 25 miles
east of Houston.
