The Sinclair Refinery is gradually restarting operations after a power outage shut the plant down. Sinclair says the power outage occurred about 4:30 p.m. Thursday with it lost its electrical supply from two power plants. The company reports no injuries occurred from the outage but a sulfur processing unit was damaged. In addition, the plant had to flare hydrocarbons. But Sinclair says air monitors around the plant did not detect excessive sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide and combustible gases. Sinclair says it will take about a week to get the plant back up to normal operations.
