Eneos Corp, Japan's biggest refiner, restarted the 145,000-bpd crude distillation unit (CDU) at its Sendai refinery on April 25 following an unplanned shutdown that began on April 16, a company spokesperson said on Tuesday.
The refiner, a unit of Eneos Holdings, declined to disclose the cause of the shutdown.
Eneos also plans to restart the 128,000-bpd CDU at its Marifu refinery in western Japan in mid-May, the spokesperson said. The unit has been undergoing scheduled maintenance since January 19.
