What are the differences between rich and lean operating conditions in UOP continuous reforming units?
Thread Content
There is a difference in aromatic potential under rich and lean feed conditions! Are there any other differences? Also, is there a fixed value for the difference in aromatic potential? Above what level does it indicate a rich feed condition, and below what level does it indicate a lean feed condition?
Neither too light nor too heavy is good; high levels of olefins are not good, and high levels of methylcyclopentane are not good either
Are the raw materials heavy naphtha and refined naphtha? Which aromatic compound has a higher potential?
Heavy naphtha is an excellent feedstock for reforming, as it has a high potential content of aromatics; whether the feedstock is rich or poor depends mainly on the amount of cycloalkanes present in it
What about disproportionation and isomerization? Does anyone know the difference between rich and lean materials?
Where did you see it? Find the source of the information
Is there a value that can distinguish them?
If N plus A is greater than P, it is a rich feed; otherwise, it is a lean feed
Is there any data on what level below Fangqian indicates poor material quality? Could you share it? Thank you!
