PARIS, Aug 3 (Reuters) - French major Total will close one of two atmospheric crude distillation units (CDUs) at its Gonfreville refinery in France from Tuesday for about one month, a union source said.
The union was informed of the shutdown last week and it would be as a result of poor demand for oil products, the source told Reuters on Monday.
Total also plans to shut oil units of the Gonfreville refinery for one month's maintenance in September.
Total was not immediately available to comment.
