HOUSTON, Dec 26 (Reuters) – Shell Oil Products US (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) reported its Wilmington, California, refinery suffered a sulphur recovery problem that forced the flaring of sulphur-dioxide gas, state records showed Tuesday.
The Los Angeles-area refinery on Monday “lost an SCC (sulphur recovery) unit. The gas compressor went down. They had to depressurize the unit,” a report on the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services said.
No one was hurt and no evacuations were required as a result of the incident, the report said. The company could not be reached for further explanation.
The incident involved flaring or burning off 500,000 lbs of sulphur-dioxide “vapor” and was contained and cleaned up by the company, the report said.
The Wilmington facility has a capacity of 98,500 barrels a day, according to state records.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
