TOKYO, April 15 (Reuters) - Japan's biggest refiner, Eneos Corp, restarted the 129,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) crude distillation unit (CDU) at its Chiba refinery near Tokyo on April 7, following scheduled maintenance, a company spokesperson said on Tuesday.

The unit had been offline since January 22.

The refiner, a unit of Eneos Holdings 5020.T, also restarted the 141,000 bpd CDU at its Sakai refinery in western Japan on February 26, after shutting it down on February 17 following a fire, the spokesperson said.

Eneos also carried out an unplanned shutdown of the 128,000 bpd CDU at its Marifu refinery, also in western Japan, from February 26 to March 23, the spokesperson said, without disclosing the reason for the shutdown.
