<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>As Tropical Storm Harvey made its way back out to the Gulf of Mexico on Monday, it was still too early to evaluate what will be left behind when flood waters recede. Over the weekend, many petrochemical operators in Texas initiated shut down procedures due to expected flooding. Meanwhile, the storm&#8217;s effects on schools in the Houston area are uncertain.</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>Industry began preparations as early as Thursday in areas where the hurricane was projected to make landfall. In Port Lavaca, Texas, and nearby Victoria, shutdowns included Dow Chemical&#8217;s Seadrift facility, Ineos Nitriles Green Lake site, and Invista&#8217;s plant in Victoria County. Fuel companies in Corpus Christi shuttered refineries temporarily, including those operated by Valero Energy, Citgo Petroleum, and Flint Hills Resources.</p>

</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>On Sunday, Harvey, which was downgraded to a tropical storm, dumped as much as 75 cm of rain to the east in Houston. Exxon Mobil began shutting down its Baytown refinery and petrochemical complex, the second largest in the nation. Another large refinery, Chevron&#8217;s Cedar Bayou complex&#8212;also in Baytown&#8212;was shut down, followed by Royal Dutch Shell&#8217;s complex in Deer Park. The U.S. Gulf supplies roughly 25% of the country&#8217;s transportation fuels. About 15% of total U.S. refining capacity has been shut down due to Harvey.</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>Chemical plant shutdowns due to expected flooding included Ascend Performance Materials&#8217;s Chocolate Bayou plant in Alvin, Texas. The facility produces hydrogen cyanide, acrylonitrile and disodium iminodiacetate. Oxychem shuttered its chlor alkali and vinyl assets in Ingleside, Texas. Formosa Plastics temporarily closed its refinery at Point Comfort, Texas. Six area plants operated by LyondellBasell were shut down, and the firm&#8217;s Houston refinery is operating at reduced rates.</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>Also on Sunday, Huntsman shut down manufacturing sites in Conroe, Dayton, Chocolate Bayou, Freeport, Houston, and Port Neches, Texas. &#8220;As you know, the situation is very dynamic and can change quickly. Our primary concern at this time is for the safety and well-being of our employees, their families and our plant communities,&#8221; says Anne M. Knisely, Huntsman&#8217;s director of communications.</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>The Gulf region produces roughly 40% of the chlor-alkali and vinyl in the U.S., and about 60% of the country&#8217;s ethylene, polyethylene, and polypropylene, according to Kevin W. McCarthy, analyst at Vertical Research Partners, an equities research firm. In the coming weeks, supply restrictions due to shuttered facilities will likely push commodity prices upward, particularly for chlor-alkali and vinyl, McCarthy predicts.</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>Students and instructors are also unable to travel due to floods. Classes at the <a href="https://ssl.uh.edu/" title="University of Houston">University of Houston</a> and <a href="http://www.tsu.edu/about/administration/university-advancement/communications/emergency/" title="Texas Southern University Emergency Updates">Texas Southern University</a> started last week, and both institutions were closed through Wednesday, Aug. 30, according to their websites as of C&amp;EN press time. C&amp;EN was unable to reach chemists at either institution.</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>Rice University also started classes last week and as of press time was closed through Wednesday, Aug. 30. So far, the campus is relatively unscathed, at least in part because of measures the university took following flooding from Tropical Storm Allison in 2001.</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>&#8220;All labs were put on safe mode on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning,&#8221; chemistry department chair Matteo Pasquali tells C&amp;EN. &#8220;Rice has back-up generators that will kick in rapidly if we lose power.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>Most biological samples are in the Bioscience Research Collaborative building, Pasquali says. The building&#8217;s systems are operating and its flood gates are &#8220;working as intended,&#8221; according to Rice&#8217;s <a href="https://emergency.rice.edu/" title="Rice Emergency Management">emergency information website</a> as of C&amp;EN press time.</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>As for personal effects, &#8220;So far I know of one Chemistry colleague who had about 1 m of water in his house Sunday morning,&#8221; Pasquali says. &#8220;He and his family are safe as they live in a two-floor house, but of course they face significant disruption over the coming weeks or perhaps months. Via Facebook, I have heard that several colleagues in physics and bioengineering are also experiencing problems.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s best to say that the storm is not over,&#8221; Pasquali adds. &#8220;We hope that the worst is behind us, but the whole infrastructure is stressed out at and beyond its limits. We really don&#8217;t know how much rain will fall in the next two to three days, and what consequences it will have.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>McCarthy says infrastructure impacts will be widespread. &#8220;The prospect of this level of water has high potential to wreak havoc with utilities, rails, ports, barge access and the ability of personnel to access sites across southern Texas,&#8221; he says.</p>
</div>
<div class="parbase section rtetext"><p>For industry, it could be a week or longer before the larger refineries resume operations. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board has <a href="http://www.csb.gov/csb-urges-oil-and-chemical-facilities-to-take-special-safety-precautions-during-startups-following-hurricane-harvey/" title="CSB Urges Oil and Chemical Facilities to Take Special Safety Precautions during Startups Following Hurricane Harvey">issued an alert</a> warning employees to take special precautions when restarting equipment. &#8220;Restarting a complex petrochemical process requires a higher level of attention and care than normal processing, because numerous activities are occurring simultaneously and many automatic systems are run under manual control,&#8221; the CSB noted in its alert. &#8220;Because a significant number of facilities were shut down during Hurricane Harvey, there will be a significant number of facilities restarting, which will increase the risk to safety.&#8221;</p>
