CATALYTIC

REFORMING
NAPHTHA PRETREATMENT

• Naphtha is preheated by a train of


heat exchangers and further heated in
a pipe-still heater to a temperature of
350°C in the presence of hydrogen
under a pressure of 20–25 kg/cm2 over
a catalyst (Co-Mo sulfides supported
on alumina) packed bed reactor.
NAPHTHA PRETREATMENT
• The feed naphtha is premixed with • The product mixture containing
hydrogen and heated by preheaters and a
hydrocarbon gases (C1–C4), hydrogen
tube still heater to raise the temperature upto
350°C at a pressure of 20–25 sulfide, ammonia, moisture, etc., are
kg/cm2. steam stripped in a plated column.
• The product mixture from the reactor is Desulfurised naphtha comes out as the
cooled to 50°C and flashed in a separator
bottom product which is further
vessel to release unreacted hydrogen, which
is then recycled back to the reactor. cooled before it is sent to storage
NAPHTHA PRETREATMENT
NAPHTHA PLATINUM
REFORMING (PLATFORMING)
• Desulfurised naphtha (90°C–140°C) is
catalytically converted to high-octane
gasoline by the reaction of a platinum
(now Platinum–Rhenium) catalyst in
a reactor in a hydrogen environment.
This type of treatment is also known
as platforming
