UPDATE 1-Marathon restarting hydrotreater at Galveston Bay Refinery, Texas, sources say
Adds company no comment, background
HOUSTON, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Marathon Petroleum Corp MPC.N began restarting the resid hydrotreater (RHU) at its 631,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Galveston Bay Refinery in Texas City, Texas on Friday, people familiar with plant operations said.
The 64,000-bpd RHU was shut on Thursday to repair a leak discovered under insulation on the unit, according to the sources.
Marathon spokesperson Jamal Kheiry declined on Friday to discuss operations at the refinery, which is the largest by capacity in the United States.
Resid hydrotreaters use hydrogen to remove sulfur from feedstocks for catalytic crackers or hydrocrackers.
