SEOUL, July 8 (Reuters) - South Korea's S-Oil Corp restarted its 73,000-bpd gasoline-making residual fluid catalytic cracker (RFCC) on Wednesday after a planned maintenance shutdown starting from June 1, a company source said on Thursday.
The restart was a day early as the unit had been scheduled to be down from June 1 to July 8, the source said.
Because of the shutdown, June run rates at the country's No.3 refiner fell 13 percent to 450,000 bpd from May.
