Total SA's (TOT) Dutch Vlissingen refinery is restarting this week after maintenance and is expected to be fully online by mid-July, the company said Tuesday.

"We started shutting down units from the May 18...we are starting now and we expect to be online before mid-July," a Total spokeswoman in the Netherlands said. She declined to give details about the units involved in the maintenance program.

Total also carried out environmental projects in conjunction with the maintenance which were aimed at reducing the refinery's sulfur, carbon and nitrogen emissions.
