BP Whiting, Indiana refinery begins FCCU work; CDU to run below full -sources

HOUSTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - BP Plc began a planned
overhaul on Wednesday of the small gasoline-producing fluidic
catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) at its 430,000 barrel-per-day
(bpd) Whiting, Indiana, refinery, said sources familiar with
plant operations.

BP is continuing to increase production levels on the large
crude distillation unit (CDU) at the refinery on Wednesday, but
will not run the 240,000 Pipestill CDU at full capacity, while
the 65,000 bpd FCCU 600 is shut for the overhaul, the sources
said.
