Alon shuts gas compressor at Big Spring refinery

NEW YORK, July 2 (Reuters) - Alon USA Energy Inc. (ALJ.N) shut briefly over the weekend a vent gas compressor at its 70,000 barrel-per-day Big Spring, Texas, oil refinery briefly, the company said.

The shutdown was due to a loss of secondary seal flush flow, Alon said in a filing with Texas Commission for Environment Quality.

The compressor was restarted early on Sunday after shutting down late on Saturday.
