April 15 (Reuters) - Marathon Petroleum Corp MPC.N reported an equipment upset at its 631,000-barrel-per-day Galveston Bay refinery in Texas on Wednesday, following a sudden loss of electrical supply to multiple pumps in its fluid catalytic cracking unit. The incident led to an unplanned unit upset, triggering flaring to stabilize operations, the company said in a filing with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Emissions were routed to the flare system as the unit was brought back under control, it added.
