Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA reported the shutdown of compressors and above-normal emissions that began Sunday and would continue Monday at its refinery in Port Arthur, Texas.

"The NESHAP Compressor C300B shutdown unexpectedly," Total said in a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, adding that a spare compressor didn't automatically start and another compressor also "appears to have shutdown on high discharge temperature."

It said the above-normal emissions began Sunday night and would last into Monday morning.

The 225,000-barrel-a-day refinery lies 95 miles east of Houston.
