Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA reported an operational disruption that led to above-normal gas emissions at its refinery in Port Arthur, Texas.

In a statement to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the refinery said the "process upset" led to flaring and the emissions-release of some 15,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide that began Wednesday and lasted about an hour.

Total's 225,000-barrel-a-day Port Arthur refinery is 95 miles east of Houston.
