A new tri-metallic reforming catalyst has been developed for semi-regenerative reforming. This catalyst gives improved C{sub 5} + yield and improved hydrogen yield compared with conventional Pt/Re catalyst. Its stability is equivalent to balanced Pt/Re catalyst. The catalyst is in use in several commercial units and the commercial data confirms the increase in yield and the stability of the catalyst. The improved yield substantially impacts the refiners economics. The annual increase in product value ranges from 0.6 MM$/year to 2.5 MM$/year for a typical 20,000 BPD reformer at current US product prices, depending on the refinery hydrogen balance.
