"The refinery is going to be shut for the turnaround from April 30 until June 3," Audrius Stasiulaitis, a spokesman for the refiner told Reuters, adding that the scope of the work will be announced shortly, writes LETA/ELTA.
The refiner has said before that modernisation of a fluid catalytic cracking unit to increase the refinery's light product yield will be one of the main tasks of the planned turnaround.
Orlen Lietuva is the second largest refiner in the Polish oil group. It plans to process almost 9 million tonnes of crude in 2012.
