(Updates with Genscape)
LONDON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell said on
Monday it had shut a unit at its Pernis oil refinery in the
Netherlands after a crude spill a day earlier.
Shell did not specify the unit concerned, but industry
monitor Genscape said the 200,000 barrel per day (bpd) crude
unit (CD6) was shut on Monday morning.
Genscape said one of the furnace stacks of the cogeneration
unit was also shut on Monday morning.
Shell did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for
comment.
The refinery is Europe's largest and has a capacity to
process 404,000 bpd of crude.
