Catalytic cracking unit starts up in Venezuelan refinery
Getting back to normal can take more than six hours, oil workers cautioned
|
The catalytic cracking unit at Pdvsa's Cardón refinery, Venezuela's second largest oil plant, began the start-up process, oil workers informed.
The 89,000 bpd unit shut down on Monday due to a failure in a valve of steam equipments.
"Getting back to normal can take more than six hours," an oil worker preferring not to be identified by name said, as quoted by Reuters.
The source also asserted that the distillation unit of the plant is still shut. It was hit two weeks ago by a fire.
The refining and oil upgrading circuit of state-run Petróleos de Venezuela has been hit by several scheduled maintenance works and several events affecting exports of oil products.
