HOUSTON, July 27 (Reuters) - Valero Energy Corp said on Monday a shut sulfur recovery unit at its 287,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) Port Arthur, Texas, refinery had no impact on production.
The SRU was shut on Sunday after an electrical breaker tripped offline, according a notice filed Monday with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The charge from the shut SRU was shifted to other SRUs at the refinery.
'This led to some flaring but there was no impact to production,' said Valero spokesman Bill Day.
