Adds details about maintenance on primary crude unit
By Nicole Jao
NEW YORK, March 6 (Reuters) - Marathon MPC.N will begin planned maintenance activities on units at its 255,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Robinson, Illinois on March 18, research company IIR and a source familiar with plant operations said on Thursday.
The refinery's primary crude unit, which processes both sweet and sour crude, will be down for maintenance, including heat exchanger work, IIR said. The plant's 85,000-barrel-per-day diesel hydrotreater unit, 65,000-bpd vacuum distillation unit and 28,000-bpd hydrocracker unit will also undergo turnaround.
The crude unit is expected to be shut for seven to 10 days and restart at a reduced rate estimated at 75% of capacity until the rest of the planned work is completed, IIR said.
The 38,500-bpd reformer unit will also undergo turnaround, another source told Reuters.
The maintenance work is expected to last about two months, the source said.
Robinson refinery processes sweet and sour crude oils into gasoline, distillates, natural gas liquids and petrochemicals, propane and heavy fuel oil, its website shows.
A Marathon spokesperson declined to comment on refinery operations.
