NEW YORK, June 17 - Total Petrochemicals USA said on Wednesday that it shut a unit at its 174,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, according to a filing with state pollution regulators.
The unit, which was only identified as "unit 836" was shut on Wednesday afternoon and is expected back on Thursday, the company said in a notice filed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Unit 836 has been identified in previous reports as a part of the refinery's system to remove sulfur from motor fuel.
On Friday, the refinery shut its gasoline-producing fluidic catatlytic cracking unit for unplanned work, according to notices filed with the Texas Commission.
Total Petrochemicals USA is the U.S. subsidiary of French energy giant Total SA.
