Bitumen production at the 109,300 b/d Feyzin refinery near Lyon, France has been hit following an issue with its sulphur recovery unit.
Bitumen production is limited while the issue is resolved, according to sources.
A market participants told Argus they had seen no bitumen production or supply available from Feyzin for the past week as a result of the issue. Feyzin previously had a reformer unit out due to a fire at the refinery in late August.
