Exxon Beaumont, Texas, refinery restarts large crude unit: sources

HOUSTON (Reuters) – Exxon Mobil Corp restarted the large crude distillation unit (CDU) at its 369,024 barrel-per-day (bpd) Beaumont, Texas, refinery on Thursday, said sources familiar with plant operations.

The 240,000-bpd Crude B CDU was shut along with the rest of the refinery on Aug. 25 because of the threat from Hurricane Laura, the sources said. The unit began restarting on Tuesday.
