Dow Jones News
Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) reported an electricity outage at a
plant within its refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas, and said the
power disruptions impacted processing units and caused above-normal
emissions.
"A power disruption resulted in the loss of electrical power to
West Plant process units," the refinery said in a statement to the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. "As a result, protective
safety shutdown sequences were automatically initiated, including
venting of process gases to facility flares."
It said the emissions of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and
other gases lasted about 24 hours, ending on Saturday.
The 293,000-barrel a day Corpus Christi refinery includes a West
and East plant.
