Sunoco, Inc. (USA), one of the leading manufacturers of petrochemical products, recently announced temporary closure of one fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit and a crude unit in response to a dim refining market outlook throughout 2009. Both the units are located at the company's Point Breeze section of its Philadelphia refinery. The interim shutting of units will not lead to any job redundancies, the company indicated. On April 16, 2009, the company reached an agreement to sell its 85,000 bpd crude refinery in Tulsa (Oklahoma) to Holly Corporation for US$65 mln.
