Overview

Catalytic reforming in the oil & gas industry

Cracking of heavy naphtha molecules

Catalytic reforming is a process that converts the heavy naphtha stream into liquid ‘Reformate’, which is a blending component for high-octane gasoline. As a by-product of this process, hydrogen gas is produced, which is a useful feedstock for other refinery processes, such as Hydrocracking.

In addition to its application as a blending component for gasoline, Reformate is a source of aromatic bulk chemicals that can be used as raw materials for the production of plastics.

The catalytic reforming instrumentation available from KROHNE includes several types of flowmeter for measurement of the different gas and liquid streams, and radar level measurement equipment to provide separator level control.
