Total Begins Restart of Port Arthur, Texas, Refinery After Hurricane

Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA said it began early
Monday morning a restart of its refinery in Port Arthur, Texas,
after it shut down last week as a safety precaution ahead of
Hurricane Laura.
In a filing to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality,
Total said the startup process could take about a week to be
complete, and could create excessive emissions during that time as
units are turned on and put back online.
The 225,000-barrel-a-day Total Port Arthur refinery is located
95 miles east of Houston and is near to, but not directly in the
path of, where Hurricane Laura made landfall last Thursday
morning.
