Atyrau oil refinery has suspended production of petrol over an accident, Ak Zhaiyk writes citing the refinery’s first deputy chief engineer Rustem Bissaliyev. The accident happened on October 6 in the furnace of the catalytic reforming block of LG 35-11/300-95 unit. The decision was made to suspend the works. Repair works are currently in process. According to Bissaliyev, the repairs are not simple, as the furnace is a multi-chamber one and maintenance experts will have to dismantle a part of it to reach the damaged area. Atyrau oil refinery produces half of the petrol sold in Atyrau oblast. Besides, it is the only supplier of AI-80 petrol in Kazakhstan.
