The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) announced that it has fined Chevron Phillips Chemical Company $84,800 for failing to have annual inspections performed on 16 power generating boilers at the company's Port Arthur chemical plant.
According to TDLR, the process steam generator boilers are required to receive both internal and external inspections at least annually and were due for inspection in February. The company failed to perform internal inspections of the boilers and also did not request an extension in the inspection timeline prior to the inspection due date. Chevron Phillips later asked for an extension on March 30, 53 days late, says TDLR.
