HOUSTON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Tesoro Corp said on Tuesday the planned shutdown of one of the catalytic reformers at its 100,000 bpd Los Angeles refinery was 'an economic decision' that would not affect current product output.
The reformer, which boosts the quantity and quality of gasoline, is scheduled to be shut between Dec. 1 and Dec. 3, according to a notice filed on Tuesday with Los Angeles-area pollution regulators.
