   DAVENPORT, FL (DTN) -- Delek US Holdings reported an emissions event at its 
75,000 bpd Big Spring Refinery in Big Spring, Texas, according to a filing with 
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

   The event began Monday (4/27) at 10:30 p.m. and ended Tuesday (4/28) at 5:30 
a.m. CT, lasting about seven hours.

   The emissions were tied to an equipment malfunction at the fluid catalytic 
cracking unit (FCCU) regenerator, which resulted in carbon monoxide emissions 
exceeding reportable limits. CO emissions were estimated at 5,001 pounds.

   Operators adjusted unit operations to minimize emissions, according to the 
filing.

   The refinery primarily produces gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.

   DTN reached out to Delek US for additional details but did not get an 
immediate response.
