Exxon Mobil Corp. said Tuesday a pressure problem at its
Baytown, Texas, oil refinery forced it to implement an unscheduled
equipment shutdown.
"Unplanned shutdown of DCU [delayed coking unit] wet gas
compressor due to low lube oil pressure resulted in safe
utilization of the flare system," the refinery said in a statement
to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
It said the emissions began Monday afternoon and lasted until
Tuesday morning, spanning about 13 hours total.
The 561,000-barrel-a-day Baytown refinery is 25 miles east of
Houston.
