HOUSTON - The small gasoline-producing unit at Exxon Mobil Corp’s 560,500 barrel per day Baytown, Texas, refinery will be shut for at least another month of repairs to a fire-damaged hydrotreater, said Gulf Coast market sources on Thursday. The 90,000 bpd gasoline-producing Fluidic Catalytic Cracking Unit 2 was shut by a March 16 fire on Hydrofining Unit-9 , which removes sulfur from the gasoline.The company is building a new heater for HU 9, which was severely damaged in the March 16 fire. The new heater is not expected to arrive for a month, the sources said.
Exxon attempted to partially restart HU 9 in April, but according to the sources, operating one processing train on the unit was not possible. The company also canceled plans to operate FCCU 2 without HU 9. Without HU 9 removing sulfur from the gasoline produced by FCCU 2, the gasoline will not be in specification for sale, the sources said.
