Community Update from TPC

Updated Information Regarding Flaring Event Saturday, August 11 at TPC Group Houston Operations:

At approximately 7 p.m. on Saturday, August 11, TPC Group experienced an electrical trip in its plant located at 8600 Park Place Blvd. due to inclement weather in the area.  The situation did result in excess flaring from the facility, which did include black smoke due to a boiler shutdown. TPC personnel responded immediately to begin working to mitigate the situation.  The affected boilers were online by 10 p.m. and the continuous start up process was complete and the flare was eliminated by 3 a.m.

Continuous emissions monitoring levels did not necessitate any activity be taken by the surrounding community.  There were no injuries as a result of this event.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Thank you.
