The issue of raw materials for restructuring
Thread Content
The raw material for the reforming unit is mainly straight-run gasoline; can coker gasoline be used instead? I read in the materials that coker gasoline needs to be hydrogenated in order to remove sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements before it can be used as a feedstock for reforming. The reforming unit itself has a pre-hydrogenation stage – so can’t coker gasoline be processed through this pre-hydrogenation step?
Coker gasoline can be used as a feedstock for reforming, but it needs to undergo hydrogen treatment to remove impurities such as sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen, ensuring that its quality meets the requirements of the reforming process. The reforming unit itself has a pre-hydrogenation function that allows for hydrogen treatment of coker gasoline; however, it is important to control the ratio of hydrogen to the feedstock in order to avoid affecting the efficiency and quality of the reforming reaction. -
I’m glad to have been able to help you resolve the issue. If you have any other related questions, feel free to ask. -
Coker gasoline contains a certain amount of aromatics. For sulfur and nitrogen impurities, pre-hydrogenation is available, so it’s not a big problem. Restructuring is an option, but you should think for yourself whether it makes sense
