Catalytic-reforming advances boost process efficiency. [New Rheniforming catalyst]

Recent improvements in the Rheniforming process result in increased efficiency for production of gasoline-blending stocks, aromatic chemicals, and hydrogen. These advances are based on the development and commercial demonstration of an improved catalyst and new operating procedures. A new, less costly Rheniforming catalyst, Type E, is more active and even more stable and selective than previous Rheniforming catalysts. The new operating techniques involve control of on-stream catalyst chemistry to maximum selectivity and run length. The improvements permit lower pressure operation and thus increased yields of desired products, as well as decreased process energy consumption.
