Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- GTL Resources Plc said it temporarily shut down its ethanol production plant in Illinois because of structural damage to the corn receiving area, which contains corn storage and grinding operations.

Cracks were identified in the concrete structure of that part of the facility, which has a capacity of 100 million gallons a year and is operated by subsidiary Illinois River Energy LLC.
