SINGAPORE, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Formosa Petrochemical Corp plans to shut one of its crude units and several secondary units at its Mailiao refining site for maintenance in mid-March next year, its company spokesperson K.Y. Lin said.

The private refiner will shut its No. 2 crude distillation unit (CDU), one residual desulphurisation unit and one residual catalytic cracker for around 40 days until the second-half of April, he added.

FPCC has three CDUs with processing capacity totalling 540,000 barrels per day.
