Heavy Naphtha Fractions 85-155 ̊C Recycling in the Catalytic Reforming Industrial Unit

AbstractCatalytic naphtha reforming is a vital process for refineries due to the production of high-octane components, which is intensely demanded in our modern life. In these paper, the mathematical modelling method application for catalytic reforming installation of Komsomolsk oil-refinery is proposed. The mathematical model-based system “Catalyst Control” was used for catalytic reforming installation monitoring. The quality of the product from the unit was studied, with hydrocracking gasoline used as the feedstock. The impact of the feedstock on the product output was analyzed. It is shown that the feedstock replacement of catalytic reforming unit L-35-11/450K has positive impact on high-octane product output and increases the resource efficiency of the process
