HOUSTON, June 6 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc (LSE: 0LN9.L - news) shut a sulfur recovery unit and the alkylation unit at its 227,586-barrel-per-day (bpd) refinery in Convent, Louisiana, as part of an overhaul of the gasoline-producing fluidic catalytic cracking unit (FCCU), said sources familiar with plant operations said on Wednesday,
