Catalytic Reforming Processes Overview by Ali Daniyal Awan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Catalytic reforming is used to increase the octane level of gasoline by converting low octane hydrocarbons into higher octane aromatic compounds over a platinum catalyst. Heavy naphthas are typically used as feedstock and undergo reactions such as dehydrogenation, isomerization, and hydrocracking in fixed bed reactors containing platinum catalyst. The platinum catalyst gradually loses activity due to coking and must be regenerated by burning off coke deposits using oxygen to restore activity in semi-regener
