Petrochemical & Refining Global Industrial Scale $150 billion

Tổng quan

Catalytic reforming converts low-octane naphtha into high-octane reformate for gasoline blending and produces hydrogen as a valuable byproduct. The process uses platinum-based catalysts (Pt-Re or Pt-Sn on alumina) to promote dehydrogenation, isomerization, and cyclization reactions that convert paraffins and naphthenes into aromatic compounds. The hydrogen produced is consumed in hydroprocessing units throughout the refinery. Nearly every refinery in the world operates at least one catalytic reformer.

Quy trình hóa học

Desulfurized naphtha is heated to 480-530 degrees C and passed over Pt-Re/Al₂O₃ catalyst at 5-25 bar in a series of 3-4 reactors with interstage reheating. The reformate product is separated from hydrogen and light gases in a separator drum. The process is net hydrogen-producing.

C₆H₁₂ (cyclohexane) → C₆H₆ (benzene) + 3H₂ (dehydrogenation)
n-C₇H₁₆ → C₇H₈ (toluene) + 4H₂ (dehydrocyclization)

Nguyên liệu thô

  • Heavy naphtha (C₆-C₁₂) — Crude distillation unit (Feedstock (60-90 RON))
  • Pt-Re/Al₂O₃ catalyst — Specialty catalyst manufacturers (Bifunctional catalyst)

Sản phẩm cuối

  • Reformate — Gasoline blending component (95-105 RON, rich in aromatics)
  • Hydrogen (H₂) — Hydrotreating and hydrocracking (85-90% purity, major refinery H₂ source)

Environmental Impact

The process itself is energy-intensive due to the highly endothermic dehydrogenation reactions. Benzene in reformate is a regulated carcinogen, and refineries must control benzene content in gasoline. Spent platinum catalysts require specialized recovery and regeneration.
