Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA reported a shortage in
steam that led to emissions at its refinery in Port Arthur,
Texas.
"A sudden thunderstorm caused a shortage in steam and as a
result flaring occurred," the refinery said in a statement to the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, noting the emissions
happened late Sunday evening and lasted a couple hours.
"Operations immediately implemented emergency steam shedding in
order to reduce and cease all flaring," it added.
The 225,000-barrel-a-day refinery lies east of Houston.
