To increase popularity and foster technical exchanges among Haiyou users, 【One Question per Day】 is hereby launched. Participation earns 4 points of wealth! 10 wealth points as a reward for correct answers or in-depth discussions! :Lol, what is the reforming index? What is the aromatic potential? Both the reforming index and the aromatic potential are specific indicators used to describe the quality of feedstock oil for reforming. In our country, the aromatic potential content is generally used, while abroad the reforming index is commonly used. The reforming index is usually expressed as (N+2A), where N represents the naphthenic content and A represents the aromatic content. The higher the levels of naphthenes and aromatics in the feedstock, the greater the amount of aromatics produced in the reformed oil, and the higher its octane rating. The meaning of aromatic potential content (Ar%) is similar to that of the reforming index (N+2A) ======================================== ☛【Haichuan Activity Plan】I decide my own questions – I’ll choose the \"best answer\"! http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1618021-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) ☛ Soliciting sponsors for the “2016 Haichuan Top 10 Members Selection Contest” http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1628108-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) ☛ Everyone is welcome to scan the code to follow Haichuan’s WeChat official account and download the mobile app: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/attach/data/attachment/forum/201610/13/213618s5iw2kw5z5l6nnwb.jpg

Both the reforming index and the aromatic potential content are specific indicators used to describe the quality of reforming feedstock oil. In our country, the aromatic potential content is generally used, while abroad the reforming index is commonly used. The reformation index is commonly expressed as (N+2A), where N represents the cycloalkane content and A represents the aromatic content. The higher the content of naphthenes and aromatics in the feed oil, the greater the yield of heavy aromatics in the reformed oil, and the higher its octane number. The meaning of aromatic potential content (Ar%) is similar to that of the reforming index.

The aromatic potential is a characteristic parameter of reforming feed oil; it represents the percentage of the feed oil’s weight that is composed of the weight of all the naphthenes in the feed oil that have been dehydrogenated to form corresponding aromatics, plus the weight of the aromatics already present in the feed oil. The higher the potential aromatic content, the higher the aromatic content of the oil produced after reforming.

For catalytic reforming units, abroad the reforming index (N+2A) or (N+A) is commonly used to indicate the quality of the feedstock. (N+2A) refers to the sum of the cycloalkane content in the raw material (N%) and twice the aromatic content (2Ar%). Obviously, the higher the value of the reformation index (N+2A), the greater the aromatic yield of the reformed oil, and the higher its octane number as well.
