ExxonMobil restarting large crude unit, coker

ExxonMobil Corp’s 369,024 barrel-per-day (bpd) Beaumont, Texas, refinery continues restarting the large crude distillation unit (CDU) and coker, reported Reuters with reference to sources familiar with plant operations.

Exxon began restarting the 240,000-bpd Crude B CDU and 45,000-bpd coker on Tuesday, the sources said. The entire refinery was shut on Aug. 25 because of the threat from Hurricane Laura.

“Exxon Mobil continues to make progress restarting its Beaumont refinery,” said Exxon spokesman Jeremy Eikenberry. “We continue to conduct site assessments. We are communicating with federal, state and local emergency planning officials about our response to the impacts of the storm.”

Exxon planned to restart the refinery by sometime on Friday, the sources said.

Exxon restarted the 110,000-bpd Crude A CDU last Monday. The two CDUs break down crude oil into hydrocarbon feedstocks for all other production units.

The refinery is also restarting the 120,000-bpd gasoline-producing fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) and 80,000-bpd reformer.

Last Monday, Exxon also restarted the 65,000-bpd hydrocracker, 75,000-bpd reformer and 40,000 bpd hydrotreater.
