PetroLogistics – Compressors tripped, Fri. 5/3/2013 @ 9pm

One of our compressors tripped after power was interrupted to a critical analyzer.  This resulted in a big drop in steam usage and the boiler steam production could not be reduced quickly enough to prevent the relief valve from lifting.  We are reviewing this incident to see if we can do anything different and minimize the relief valve from opening if possible.

We are working very hard to eliminate these types of events.  You have my full commitment to continue driving improvement here as our goal is to be the most reliable plant and best neighbor we can be.  I apologize again for not being available Friday night since I was out of town.  Everyone in the community is important and providing information is not a task anyone at PetroLogistics takes lightly.

Community safety is very important to us.  I can assure you that should there ever be any type of event that we feel is a threat to the community we will not hesitate to notify the Houston emergency management folks and HFD so they can take the appropriate action in the community.  I apologize again for the event Friday.

 

Thanks,

John
