Continuous reformer catalyst regeneration technology improved

Since its introduction in 1971, the continuous catalyst regeneration (CCR) reforming process has been continuously pushed toward lower-pressure operation at equivalent or higher octane severity. Engineering refinement, design innovation, and desirable features discovered through start-up and operating experience, have improved both the operability and profitability of the CCR reforming process. These improvements have been incorporated into revamps of existing semiregenerative reformers, and into the design of a second-generation CCR process. This article traces the technical development of the CCR process, including the revamp of existing units and the second-generation design. An economic summary is also given that compares revamping and the second-generation design to semiregenerative technology.
