Abstract:
Nowadays catalytic reforming of naphtha is one of the most important parts of the refining process. The catalyst of this process is mostly Pt-Re on the γ-alumina support. The major cause of deactivation is coke deposition and blockage of the pores as a result. Meanwhile, modeling of the process and the deactivation of catalyst would help refining industries to achieve higher yields. In this study industrial data of the catalytic reforming unit #2 in Isfahan Refinery Plant were used to model the process, optimized parameters have been calculated and the best contribution of the catalyst among the four reactors was presented. Then with using a deactivation function the whole coking procedure along two regenerations was modeled
