Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) reported an operational disruption that
led to above-normal gas emissions at its refinery in Beaumont,
Texas.
"Instrument failure resulting in a process upset and emissions,"
the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality, noting the emissions began Tuesday, lasted
two hours and included the release of some 15,790 pounds of sulfur
dioxide.
"The refinery anticipates no impact to production and continues
to meet contractual commitments," the refinery said.
The 362,000-barrel-a-day Beaumont refinery is 90 miles east of
Houston.
