Catalytic Reforming

Aromatics are commonly produced by the naphtha reforming route which allows a highly-selective production of valuable aromatics within the aromatics complex.

The reforming unit can be diversely fed with straight-run naphtha or naphtha from any conversion process. Catalytic reforming is the main contributor of aromatics in the petrochemical industry.

Catalysts

Reforming Catalysts

Although Catalytic Reforming technologies have advanced considerably over the last few decades, even the smallest improvements in catalyst selectivity, activity and stability have significant impact on refinery economics.

Adsorbents

Chloride Removal Adsorbents

Chloride is important in both catalytic reforming and isomerization as it helps to maintain catalytic activity over time. However, as chloride is continuously fed into these units, it also has to exit.

Adsorbents

Drying Series Adsorbents

Water removal applications are widely encountered in the industry sector. Activated alumina and molecular sieves stand at the forefront of the several different materials available on the market.

Furnaces for Reforming

Reforming Furnace is a key equipment considering the need for optimal operation of unit. Thanks to an extensive design experience with feedbacks from operators and a complete knowledge of this process, Heurtey Petrochem Solutions provides an unparalleled service such as these following features:
