Dow Jones News
Brazil's Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PBR), or Petrobras, reported
problems with a compressor and excess emissions at its refinery in
Pasadena, Texas.
In a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality,
the refinery said the West Flare gas recovery compressor system
stopped recovering gas. "The root cause of the trip is being
investigated," it added.
Petrobras said that once the flare gas recovery compressors were
put back on line, "excess emissions ceased."
Petrobras' 110,000-barrel-a-day refinery is located in the
Houston area.
