Marathon Petroleum Corp restarted the gasoline-producing unit and a reformer at its 585,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Galveston Bay Refinery in Texas City, Texas, said sources familiar with plant operations, as reported by Reuters.
The 140,000-bpd gasoline-producing fluidic catalytic cracker 3 (FCC 3) was increasing production on Friday after it and the 75,000-bpd Ultraformer (UU3) reformer restarted on Thursday night, the sources said.
Marathon spokesman Jamal Kheiry declined to comment.
FCC 3 and UU3 were shut for a planned overhaul that began on Feb. 8.
