NEW YORK, July 13 (Reuters) - Total Petrochemicals USA (TOTF.PA) will restart on Monday a gasoline-making fluid catalytic cracker unit at its 232,000 barrel-per-day Port Arthur, Texas refinery after a snag, according to a notice filed with state pollution regulators.

The filing only identified the unit by its number, but traders said Unit 835 is the 80,000-bpd FCC unit in question. The unit restart was due to last through early Tuesday, according to the filing.

"Unit 835 will be restarted following a main air blower trip," according to the notice filed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
