Performance Prediction of the Catalyst PR-81 at the Production Unit Using Mathematical Modeling Method

Abstract

The performance analysis of the reforming catalyst PR-9 and its replacement prediction on the catalyst PR-81for production reforming unit L-35-11/450K have been carried out using a mathematical model. The effect of feedstock composition on product yield has been studied. It is shown that the feedstock composition decisively influences the yield and octane number. The model study have shown that the replacement for the PR-81 catalyst will increase the yield of 2.5-3.5% wt.
