The impact of crude oil density on reforming
Thread Content
Using too light a feedstock oil for reforming increases the load on the reforming process; moreover, components that are too light cannot improve the octane rating. Are there any other effects? Please share any tips regarding adjustments and precautions
Does the density of the feed oil affect the pre-hydrogenation system? Does it have an impact on the reforming system as well? Refined naphtha or above C6
The size of the reformation feed load is determined by comparing the feed volume with the design load. If there are many components below C6 in the feedstock, more C3 and C4 components will be produced, which is of little significance for increasing the octane rating of gasoline ； A high proportion of components above C8 in the feed can lead to catalyst coking, affecting the plant’s processing capacity.
