Valero Energy reported an operational disruption and flaring of
gas emissions over the weekend at its oil refinery in Corpus
Christi, Texas.
"An upset occurred in a Sulfur Recovery Unit that initiated
protective safety shutdown sequences, which included routing of
process gases to facility flares to minimize emissions to the
extent possible," the refinery said in a filing to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality, noting the incident happened
Saturday and lasted more than three hours.
"Sulfur shedding procedure was utilized in an effort to reduce
the acid gas loads and return SRU trains to service," the refinery
said.
Valero's 293,000-barrel-a-day Corpus Christi refinery is made up
of eastern and western plants that are located within miles of each
other and handle different types of crude oil. This incident
happened at the West Plant.
