The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control reported a release of sulfur dioxide at the Delaware CityRefinery, owned by PBF Energy.
The incident led to the release of 115 pounds of sulfur dioxide at the refinery south of New Castle at about 4 p.m. on Saturday.
No reason the release was listed. The refinery handles a variety of crude oil types, including “heavy crude” that is more difficult to refine.
The refinery had last reported a release of sulfur dioxide in early November. That that time, 2,750 pounds were released
