Iran's production of petrochemical reformates has reached 6,000 tons a day, said a senior official with National Petrochemical Company (NPC).
Ali Mohammad Bosaqzadeh, director of production control at NPC, said the item is supplied by Nouri and Bandar Emam petrochemical plants.
He said all the country's reformate output is exported because it has no use inside the country, Shana reported.
He further said Iran's petrochemical output crossed 3 million tons during the first three months of the current Iranian calendar year which started on March 21.
This is while between 30 to 40% of the country's petrochemical plants were under maintenance during the period, he added.
Catalytic reforming is a chemical process used to convert petroleum refinery naphthas distilled from crude oil (typically having low octane ratings) into high-octane liquid products called reformates, which are premium blending stocks for high-octane gasoline.
