** Germany's Mineraloelraffinerie Oberrhein (Miro) was restarting units after planned maintenance, it said April 7. The restart began on April 1. The refinery was expected to ramp up throughput in April as the turnaround was coming to an end. The plant carried out a planned turnaround, starting in mid-February and lasting six weeks until the end of March. It included an upgrade aimed at increasing the conversion capacity for maximizing the output of gasoline and diesel. The maintenance was the largest in the refinery's history, it said. Around two-thirds of the facilities were halted for major inspection, including 41 units in Plant 1 and three units in Plant 2. Last year, the refinery said it was planning a major maintenance in 2021. It said at the time it would invest Eur300 million ($333 million), with two-thirds in new projects and one-third for upgrading existing units during the turnaround.
