Catalytic reformer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Catalytic reformer is a chemical engineering process where petroleum refinery naphthas are contacted with a catalyst containing a noble metal at elevated temperatures and hydrogen pressures ranging from 345 to 3450 kPa. There are a great many proprietary commmercial versions of the process, one of which is the Platforming™ process, that produces a high octane gasoline component. The by-products are hydrogen, methane, ethane, propane and butanes.
The naphtha feedstocks usually have 4 to 10 carbon atoms and the process typically uses a fixed bed reactor of noble metal catalysts such as platinum and rhodium.
