Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- BP Plc, Europe’s second-largest oil company by market value, said a compressor failure caused a gasoline-making unit to shut at its Texas City, Texas, refinery.
A hydrogen compressor tripped offline on Nov. 22 forcing its ultracracker unit to shut down, according to a filing with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The emissions release should end by tomorrow, BP said.
The refinery expects to release 7,000 pounds of carbon monoxide and 2,000 pounds of nitrogen oxide, the filing said.
The Texas City refinery can processes as much as 467,720 barrels of oil a day.
