Description:

The catalytic reforming unit continues to have a significant impact on refinery profitability because this unit is the key source of much of the high-octane gasoline blendstock and hydrogen produced in most refineries. The increasing demand throughout the world for clean, low-sulfur transportation fuels increases the emphasis on catalytic reforming. The driving force behind modifications to the reforming unit range from needing to optimize existing operations to implementing changes to meet new requirements. These requirements may include making low-benzene gasoline, replacing MMT methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl) or lead octane additives in gasoline, increasing hydrogen production while increasing the gasoline yield, or increasing aromatics production for petrochemical use.
