Chevron Reports Equipment Problem at Richmond, Calif., Refinery
18 Oktober 2019 - 2:56PM
Dow Jones News
Chevron Corp. (CVX) said an operational snag early Friday
morning at its Richmond refinery in northern California may cause
excessive gas flaring.
"There was an issue with the furnace system which caused H2S
[hydrogen sulfide] to build up, causing an influx in SO2 [sulfur
dioxide]," the refinery said in a statement to the California
Emergency Management Agency. "This issue has been resolved but
there is a possibility that the SO2 may reach a reportable
quantity."
The 250,000-barrel-a-day Richmond refinery is located just north
of Oakland.
