Total spokeswoman Marie Maitre declined comment on Monday.

The 35,000 bpd reformer and 42,000 bpd naphtha hydrotreater lower power early on Monday, the sources said.

The reformer converts refining low-octane byproducts into high-octane components added to gasoline.

Hydrotreaters reduces sulfur content in motor fuels to comply with US environmental rules.
