What is catalytic reformation?

Catalytic reformation is the oil refinery process in which products with low octane distillation are known as diesel chemically converted into high octane reforms. Products with high octane reformation made from ZAFTHAS are used by themselves in various industries or as ingredients in high octane products such as gasoline. This process of catalytic reform includes restructuring hydrocarbon molecules in Zafthas in such a way that they form more complex chemical structures with higher octane evaluation. The catalytic reform process has added value in that it produces other desirable by -products, which are then used elsewhere in the refinery. The synthesis of these complex hydrocarbons, low octane nafthas - ie flammable hydrocarbon mixtures such as kerosene - are subjected to a chemical process known as catalytic reformation. There are several different versions of this chemical process, all of which produce different reformed productionskty. These extremely complex processes regroup the molecular structure of diesel elements and break several molecules into smaller units in this process. The final result of this process is a much more complicated hydrocarbon structure with increased octane values.

Benzene is one of the different catalytic reformation products and is widely used in various industries as a solvent or as a plastic component, synthetic rubber, dyes and drugs. Benzene is also used, among other catalytic reforming products, such as toluene to increase octane gasoline evaluation, also known as gasoline. Gasoline itself is a low octane product of oil distillation. Isopentane is another highly volatile reformate that is used in conjunction with liquid nitrogen to achieve extremely low fluid temperatures.

Basic variants of catalytic reform include platforms, power performance, UltRaforming and Reformation Thermofor. All these processes are used by noble metal catalysts such as platinum and rhenium, in conjunction with high heat and pressure to reform low octane diesel. These catalysts are regularly regenerated, usually every six to 24 months, although newer plants regenerate their aging catalyst components continuously on site. The catalytic reform process usually takes place at temperatures between 923 and 968 ° Fahrenheit (495 to 520 degrees Celsius) and pressures of up to 1,000 PSI (69 bar), produces hydrogen, ethane, propane and butane gas that are then used.
