Valero Energy Corp. on Wednesday (VLO) reported an operational
disruption and above-normal gas emissions at its refinery in Corpus
Christi, Texas.
"Process upset caused 74TK35 [propane tank] to vent to the
flare," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. "Pressure was relieved to flare until normal
operating pressure was achieved."
It said the emissions, including some 897 pounds of sulfur
dioxide, happened Tuesday and lasted more than 16 hours.
The 293,000-barrel-a-day refinery includes an east and west
plant, and this incident happened at the west plant.
