TotalEnergies is currently in the process of preparing its Port Arthur, Texas Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit for a restart, according to sources familiar with the matter. The refinery operations at Port Arthur had been temporarily halted, but now the company is taking steps to resume production.
The FCC unit is a crucial component of the refinery, responsible for converting heavy hydrocarbons into lighter products such as gasoline and diesel. Restarting this unit signifies a significant milestone in getting the refinery back up and running at full capacity.
