Chevron Refinery Unit Shut Down

Chevron Corp said that it was shutting down a unit at its 260,000-barrel-per day El Segundo refinery after it malfunctioned and triggered flaring on Wednesday afternoon, according to Reuters.

"The flaring was due to a failure of a gas compressor in one of the process units," Chevron spokesman Lloyd Avram told Reuters. "Process gas from the unit -- which is propane and butane -- is being sent to the safety flare."

Here's a link to Reuters.
