The second-largest crude distillation unit (CDU) at Exxon Mobil Corp’s 502,500 barrel-per-day (bpd) Baton Rouge, Louisiana, refinery was shut, said sources privy to the development revealed.
One of the sources said the shutdown of the 110,000 bpd PSLA-9 CDU at the Baton Rouge refinery was unplanned.
Exxon spokeswoman Sarah Nordin declined to discuss the status of individual units at the Baton Rouge refinery, but said, “we are currently meeting contractual commitments.”
