Exxon Mobil Corp. reported excessive gas emissions at its
Baytown, Texas, refinery due to some line restrictions in a gas
treatment area.
"Loss of amine flow to the Plant Girbotol fuel gas treatment
system resulted in elevated sulfur concentration at the blend gas
fuel systems," the refinery said in a statement Wednesday night to
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. It said that led to
above-normal emissions of sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfide and
sulfur dioxide that began Tuesday night and ended Wednesday.
"Operational adjustments were made to stabilize operations and
amine flow to fuel gas treatment system was restored to minimize
emissions," the refinery said.
The 561,000-barrel-a-day Baytown refinery is 25 miles east of
Houston.
