Valero Reports Weather-Related Emissions at Texas Refinery
December 21 2016 - 8:07AM
Dow Jones News
Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) said its McKee refinery in the Texas
panhandle continued to experience above-normal emissions Wednesday
following a recent blast of below-freezing temperatures.
In a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality,
the 168,000-barrel-a-day refinery said that over the weekend
"multiple instrument transmitters malfunctioned due to sub-zero
degree Fahrenheit ambient temperatures." Those issues, it said,
eventually led to emissions that reached excess levels Monday and
were expected to remain above-normal until Wednesday afternoon.
"The refinery personnel is following safe shutdown/start-up
procedures to reduce and minimize emissions," it added.
