Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Idemitsu Kosan Co., Japan’s second- largest oil refiner, restarted a crude distillation unit in central Japan after an unplanned shutdown.

The Tokyo-based company halted the 160,000 barrels-a-day Aichi crude distillation unit on Jan. 5 and resumed output on Jan. 12, spokeswoman Makiko Iinuma said by phone. The shutdown was caused by a technical problem, she said, declining to give details.
