- Story Text: Chevron Phillips was utilizing the safety flare system at its Baytown, Texas, chemical plant following a power interruption on Tuesday (July 26), according to a source familiar with plant operations.
Thick black smoke was seen throughout the morning at the plant, located on the east side of the Houston metro area, according to a Reuters witness.
The smoke had started to dissipate by around noon local time, the witness said.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Safety flares are used when a refinery or chemical plant experiences an upset or outage to burn off hydrocarbons that cannot be processed normally.
