Royal Dutch Shell reported a leak and emissions Tuesday at its
Deer Park, Texas refinery and chemical plant.
"A leak was found on the bottom of debutanizer distillation
column. The cause of the leak is still under investigation," the
refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. It added that it was "reducing feed rate to
unit to minimize emissions."
Deer Park is located along the Houston Ship Channel, 20 miles
east of downtown Houston. The facility includes a
326,000-barrel-a-day refinery.
