Valero Energy Corp. reported above-normal gas emissions
Wednesday at its McKee refinery in the Texas panhandle.
"The Valero McKee Refinery experienced a reportable emissions
event due to flaring from units located in Complexes 1 and 2," the
refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. "Refinery personnel followed safe shutdown
procedures to reduce and minimize emissions."
It said the emissions of carbon monoxide and other gases began
Tuesday afternoon and ended Wednesday morning, lasting about 12
hours.
The nearly 200,000-barrel-a-day McKee refinery is located in
Sunray, 65 miles north of Amarillo.
