Husky Energy Inc. has started maintenance on a fluid catalytic cracker and coking unit at its Lima, Ohio, refinery.

“These units comprise approximately 30 percent of the refinery's operations,” company spokesman Graham White said. “The rest of the refinery is up and running throughout the maintenance” and will produce at about 70 percent of typical rates.

The refinery manufactures 25 percent of the gasoline used in Ohio, along with 30,000 barrels a day of diesel and 25,000 barrels of jet fuel, plus residual fuels and petrochemical feedstocks, according to the company's Web site.
