The role of interstage separation of reformate in improving the efficiency of a fixed-bed catalytic reforming process

详细

The results of the development of technology for interstage separation of reformate in the reforming process with a fixed-bed catalyst are discussed. It has been shown that the proposed isolation of the 150°C–FBP fraction from the feedstock can significantly increase the yield of aromatic hydrocarbons, to improve the selectivity of the process, to increase the reformate yield (by 6–8 wt % on a feed basis), and to lower the charge of an expensive platinum catalyst in a reactor to 20%.
