Shell's Norco Louisiana refinery gasoline unit out of production -sources
Sept 24 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell Plc (LSE: 0LN9.L - news) took the gasoline-producing unit out of production at its 218,200-barrel-per-day (bpd) Norco, Louisiana, refinery following a malfunction on Monday, said sources familiar with plant operations.
The gasoline-producing catalytic cracking unit was on circulation while repairs are being made, the sources said.
A unit on circulation is not producing product, but remains at operating temperature and is circulating feed so it can quickly resume normal operation. (Reporting by Erwin Seba in Houston; Editing by Peter Cooney)
