KARACHI: Attock Refinery Limited on Monday said its distillation unit has restarted working, which was shut down previously.
In a notice sent to Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company informed the refinery’s main distillation unit, which was previously shut down has been restarted and working satisfactorily.
“The ullage constraint resulting from low demand of furnace fuel oil is being monitored closely,” the company added.
Previously, on December 13, 2022 the company in a communication shared with the PSX informed that due to ullage constraints from low demand for furnace fuel oil, Attock Refinery Limited is temporarily shutting down its main distillation unit for approximately eight days.
“During this period some necessary maintenance jobs would also be carried out,” the company added.
Consequently, as result of this shut down refinery will be operating at capacity of 35 per cent. However, adequate inventories of products are available to meeting the current requirements, the company added.
“This has been intimated to the ministry of energy (petroleum division) and Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) accordingly,” the company said previously.
