Valero Energy on Thursday reported an electricity snag at its oil refinery in Texas City, Texas that disrupted some operations and caused excessive emissions.
"Isolated power blip from 3rd-party utility provider resulted in a process upset," the refinery said in a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. It said the incident happened Wednesday and emissions of sulfur dioxide lasted about two hours.
The 260,000-barrel-a-day Texas City refinery is located southeast of Houston. It processes crude oils into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
