RoydadNaft – The large crude distillation unit (CDU) was shut on Friday at TotalEnergies’ 238,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Port Arthur, Texas, refinery following an interruption of feed, said people familiar with plant operations.
In addition to the 150,000-bpd ACU-1 CDU, the 60,000-bpd vacuum distillation unit-2 (VDU-2) was also taken out of production because of the loss of feed to the crude unit.
A TotalEnergies spokesperson did not reply to a request for comment.
ACU-1 and VDU-2 restarted last week after being shut by an Aug. 23 malfunction.
