MOSCOW (MRC) -- Production at Total SA’s 225,500 barrel-per-day-capacity Port Arthur, Texas, refinery was cut on Sunday by the outage of Sulfur Recovery Unit 3, reducing the plant’s ability to process acid gas, reported Reuters with reference to sources familiar with plant operations.
Production was cut by 40 percent of capacity in November when SRU 3 was shut.
As MRC informed earlier, in April 2015, Total announced that its proposed new ethane cracker near its refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, is being designed to have a capacity of 1 million tpy.
Total S.A. is a French multinational oil and gas company and one of the six "Supermajor" oil companies in the world with business in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Asia. The company's petrochemical products cover two main groups: base chemicals and the consumer polymers (polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene) that are derived from them.
