The use of catalytic naphtha reforming as a process to produce high-octane gasoline is as important now as it has been for over the 45 years of its commercial use. The catalytic reformer occupies a key position in a refinery, providing high value-added reformate for the gasoline pool; hydrogen for feedstock improvement by the hydrogen-consuming hydrotreatment processes; and frequently benzene, toluene, and xylene aromatics for petrochemical uses. The technology has even further impact in the refinery complex. The processes of hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and isomerization have all benefited from the catalyst, reactor, and feed treatment technologies invented for catalytic reforming processes.
