The Atyrau Oil Refinery in Kazakhstan started operating a new catalytic reforming unit for production of both fuels and petrochemicals, said the plant's press service.

The new unit makes it possible to produce high-octane gasoline, as well as benzene at a purity level exceeding 99.9 percent.

The Atyrau Oil Refinery is one of Kazakhstan's three largest refineries.
