Excess emissions occurred at the SCOT-4 SRU tail gas incinerator, due to a failed flame scanner at the unit's inline heater. Production was not affected. Emissions also occurred when the unit was restarted on Dec. 19. An explosion at a heavy oil upgrader hit a 45K-b/d HTU, killing one worker and injuring six others. The unit continued to operate, despite the impact, although rates at the related vacuum residue desulfurizing unit were lowered. Korean media reported that a gas leak during maintenance was the cause of the explosion, but the company did not confirm this report. The unit was shut for repairs.

An FCCU and an alkylation unit were knocked offline, but the units were restarted and returned to normal operations later in the day. An FCCU and an alkylation unit were knocked offline, but the units were restarted and returned to normal operations later in the day. A unit upset and fire led to flaring of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide. Emissions were released from the SRU and a SCOT unit, due to a faulty solenoid valve. The glitch forced the closure of the process air valves. An explosion and fire at a tanker truck parked on refinery grounds threatened nearby tanks, but firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze before it spread to the tanks. Damage to the rest of the refinery was said to be minimal. Sulfur dioxide was released from a flare, due to an electrical malfunction. Power was restored, and affected units were restarted shortly thereafter. A propane leak on a gas cracker line was expected to be repaired on Dec. 23. A hydrocracker at the east plant was closed for repairs, leading to emissions. The unit has been closed several times in the past week for repairs on an exchanger and piping. N.A.

A pinhole leak on a distillate line in a processing unit was discovered. The leak allowed light coker naphtha to escape. The refinery experienced a power outage on Nov. 20, due to an equipment failure at its electricity supplier, but the plant was restarted on Nov. 22. However, the refinery witnessed a small fire in an overhead line carrying diesel during the restart process on Nov. 23. The restart continued, despite the fire. Flaring of H2S occurred due to an equipment failure. Brief maintenance resulted in flaring. Operations at an FCCU were suspended after the unit tripped offline and emitted more than 500 lb (227 kg) of SO2. A small fire occurred at a processing area, but it was extinguished within half an hour, and the refinery continued to operate. Hydrogen fluoride was released due to a failure on a pump in an allocation unit. The pump was shut to contain the release. An air compressor trip forced the temporary shutdown of an SRU. Flaring from a wet gas compressor was reported after the unit, which is located at the saturated gas recovery plant, received light ends material from an unknown source. Production was not affected by the incident.

A compressor tripped offline, resulting in the release of SO2, NOX, and VOCs. The BTX unit was brought back online one day after being shut due to a benzene leak from a suction valve on a pump. A power outage abruptly shut down the refinery. Power was restored later that day, which allowed the refinery to begin the restart process.

Shell said on Oct. 15 that it has postponed maintenance on a hydrocracker to spring 2011; the work had been scheduled to take place in 4Q 2010. Units at the plant that were shut in Sept. will be restarted by the end of Oct., to boost fuel output in response to strikes over pension reforms in France, which have crippled the country's refining industry.

The No. 1 CDU, which was damaged in a pipe explosion, commenced a restart on Feb. 17. After the CDU reaches planned rates, the refiner will restart, one by one, the VDU, the SRU, and the reformer. The distillate dewaxing unit, where the explosion occurred, is expected to be restarted following the recent conclusion of an investigation into the incident, Silver Eagle said on Sept. 27.

The unit was hit by a fire; the fire was quickly extinguished, and no other units were impacted. Emissions occurred due to a heavy thunderstorm. A diesel hydrotreater unit was shut, due to an upset that resulted in the release of a diesel mist into the atmosphere. A compressor malfunction occurred in Complex 7 of the refinery, causing flaring. A wet gas compressor tripped in the delayed coker, but it did not impact production. A small fire was extinguished at the plant; the incident did not impact operations.

Production was not affected by unplanned flaring. The flaring occurred due to surplus pressure on the plant's vapor recovery system. An overnight power outage was due to a transformer failure in a substation. Operations were returned to normal the next day. Flaring beyond permitted levels was reported from the FCCU in the east plant. A crude leak from a pipeline within the refinery was contained. The leak occurred when a piece of equipment struck the line. A malfunctioning FCCU was returned to operation on the afternoon of Sept. 30. The unit is expected to operate at a reduced rate for around two weeks while repairs are completed, the refiner said. Brief maintenance was to be carried out at the No. 1 FCCU. The refiner warned of planned flaring amid maintenance, which has been ongoing since early Sept. N.A. N.A. N.A. N.A. An FCCU was taken offline for around one week of work.
