Enterprise Products Partners has started maintenance on propylene splitter No. 1 at its Mont Belvieu, Texas, facility, the company said in a filing.
The maintenance process started on Saturday, Enterprise said in the filing to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The company expects the emissions related to maintenance to conclude on Tuesday.
The unit will flare an expected 1,000 lb of propylene, 1,500 lb of propane, 1,500 lb of nitrogen oxide and 2,000 lb of carbon monoxide.
The company could not be immediately reached for comment.
The Enterprise Mont Belvieu complex houses six propylene fractionation facilities with 95,000 b/d of capacity. Enterprise owns a 66.7% interest in three of the fractionation units, with an aggregate 41,000 b/d of capacity, its website said. It owns 100% of the remaining three units.
Enterprise can produce more than 3.5 million mt/year of polymer-grade propylene through the purification of refinery-grade propylene.
RGP was last assessed by Platts on Friday at 50.75-51.25 cents/lb delivered and PGP at 63-63.50 cents/lb delivered.
