Chainlink fences typically contain almost all chemical releases.

I thought Honeywell was next to Nutrien in Geismar, not Carville.

Pretty sure they use hydrofloric acid.

That complex has addresses for Carville, Geismar, and St Gabriel.

Atalco, (former Noranda Aluminum) is the same. Front gate is in Grammercy with one zip code, back gate is in Mt. Airy with different ZC.

One of the worst plants on the river. Hopefully I never set foot in that place again. Glad everyone seems to be OK. Hasn’t been that way in the past.

They are always having issues. Is it just in shite condition and not well maintained or do they just not operate it correctly? Or all of the above?

Maybe Hydrofluoric Acid

The HF unit is a maintenance nightmare. There really are no materials that can withstand operating conditions of the process. On top of that the HF unit runs on vacuum, so any leaks typically go totally unnoticed until you lose vacuum.
As for the units containing chlorine, they are much newer and maintained very well. But some of the refrigerants they are producing have never been mass produced before, so that brings along its own set of challenges.

I work in an affiliated industry and we do very, very little business with them. It didn't take me long to figure out why.
Marathon's HF unit is run like fort knox by comparison.

Probably an Alky unit. Much different than HF production. HF is just a catalyst in that process, and it likely ships to them anhydrous already. 99% anhydrous is infinitely easier to deal with. It is, however, incredibly dangerous, so they can set up their Fort Knox
