Facility
Arkema Beaumont, Texas — Thiochemicals Plant
Sole US production site for ethyl mercaptan (propane odorant). Federally mandated by 49 CFR 192.625 — all propane distributed in the US must contain a detectable odorant. Arkema Beaumont supplies 55%+ of US propane odorant demand. If this plant were shut for any reason, US propane distributors would face a federal safety compliance crisis: they legally cannot sell unodorized propane. Beaumont is also near the Port Arthur/Orange TX refinery cluster. Separate from the famous Arkema Crosby TX peroxide plant fire (Harvey 2017) — that was a different facility.
