OREANDA-NEWS. June 02, 2015. Total Petrochemical's La Porte, Texas plant reported process difficulties on a train 9 polypropylene unit that required flaring Saturday, according to a filing with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

The train's filter plugged, which required venting to the south flare system.

Operators worked to control emissions. Investigation into the cause of the problem is underway.
