NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- ConocoPhillips (COP) plans to shut a key gasoline production unit at its Sweeny refinery in Texas on Thursday to make emergency repairs, according to a filing with state environmental regulators.
A plug valve in the reactor associated with the fluid catalytic cracker is the source of the problem, said the report to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The shutdown, said to begin at 11 a.m. CDT Thursday, is seen lasting about 36 hours. The report didn't indicate
how long repairs might take or when the unit would return to normal operations.
The Sweeny refinery is able to process about 247,000 barrels of crude oil a day.

HOUSTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) - ConocoPhillips' (COP.N: Quote, Profile, Research) 216,000-barrel per day (bpd) refinery in Sweeny, Texas, shut a regenerator on a gasoline-producing fluidic catalytic cracker for
two weeks of repairs, according to a notice filed with state pollution regulators.
Unit 27.1, a regenerator on the FCC, was shut because catalyst was carrying over into another unit of the cat cracker, according to the notice filed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
The FCC regenerator began restarting on Friday after being shut on Thursday for emergency repairs, the notice said.
