Refinery restarts hydrocracker second stage

Shell began restarting the second stage of the hydrocracker at its 230,611-bpd Norco, Louisiana, said sources familiar with plant operations.

A Shell spokesman did not reply to a request for comment.

The second stage of the 40,000-bpd hydrocracker was shut on June 18. The first stage of the hydrocracker continued to operate, the sources said.

Shell issued a notice on Thursday to nearby residents in the Norco area of the start-up of an unidentified unit, which may cause flaring and greater noise at the refinery.
