Marathon Petroleum Corp. reported a small fire Monday at its
Galveston Bay refining complex in Texas that it said was quickly
extinguished.
"Wastewater lift station caught fire, lifting hatches and
releasing material to atmosphere," the refinery said in a
regulatory filing to the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality.
Marathon's 585,000-barrel-a-day Galveston Bay complex is the
second-largest refinery in the U.S. after Saudi Aramco's
600,000-barrel-a-day Motiva Port Arthur refinery.
The system was isolated and the fire extinguished, Marathon said
in the filing.
The company said the incident resulted in the release of some 50
pounds of benzene emissions over the course of one hour Monday
morning.
