NEW YORK, July 9 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) said production was not affected by a Wednesday snag with the gasoline-making fluid catalytic cracker unit at its 562,500 barrel per day Baytown, Texas refinery, according to a company environmental filing.

"Loss of oxygen to FCCU2 caused partial oxidation and consequential excess emissions," Exxon said in a filing with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. (Reporting by Haitham Haddadin; Editing by John Picinich)
