Exxon Mobil Corp. reported an electricity outage that disrupted
operations and caused excessive emissions Monday and Tuesday at its
Beaumont refinery in Texas.
"Multiple-unit upset due to loss of power," the refinery said in
a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. "No
impact to the community was reported. All contractual commitments
were met."
The above-normal emissions of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide
and other gases began Monday morning and ended Tuesday morning, the
refinery said.
The 362,000-barrel-a-day Beaumont refinery is 90 miles east of
Houston.
