Study of Operational Conditions in Octanizer and Hydro-Treating Units in Oil Refinery Company

Abstract

The catalytic conversion of naphtha is a refinery process in which heavy naphtha feeds through the catalytic bed of several reactors at high temperatures and pressures that potentially increase the aromatics content of naphtha and its octane number. Usually, naphtha feed is used to remove the impurities that prevent useful reactions and cause poisoning of reformer catalysts. Operating abutments for the catalytic converter unit are temperature, pressure, metallurgical agent, hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio, and chlorine ratio. In this study, Operational Conditions in Octanizer and Hydro-treating Units in oil refinery companies is investigated and optimized the conditions of catalysis.

“…It is simpler to make cooling in a plate segment; coils can be presented on the plates. It is simpler to have a withdrawal of side-streams from plate segments [4].…”

“…Each plate has two conductors on both sides, called down comers. Fluid falls through the down comers by gravity from one plate to another below it [4,12]. A weir on the plate assurances that there is some fluid (holdup) on the plate and is structured such that the holdup is at a suitable height, to such an extent that the bubble caps are protected by fluid.…”

“…Even though LPG's offer in the nation's energy prerequisites has been nominal to date, over the previous decade, development by volume has been at a pace of around 14% per annum. This is required to keep developing fundamentally with expanding LPG supplies accessible from both imported and local sources [3,4].…”
