Why we use catalytic reforming?
The need for high quality gasolines (high-octane gasolines) has favored the use of catalytic reforming
catalytic cracking
catalytic cracking is one of the most important conversion processes used in petroleum refineries. It is widely used to convert the high-molecular weight hydrocarbon fractions of petroleum crude oils to more valuable gasoline, olefinic gases, and other products.
Steam cracking
Steam cracking is a petrochemical process for producing ethylene and other alkenes from aliphatic hydrocarbons.
The products obtained depend on:
1- the composition of the feed
2- the hydrocarbon-to-steam ratio
3- the cracking temperature
4- furnace residence time

Petrochemicals are chemical products derived from petroleum or natural gas. Primary petrochemicals are divided into three groups.
Petroleum refinery processes:
Groups of Petrochemicals:
Classification of Processes
1-olefins
2-Aromatics
3-Synthesis Gas

1-Olefins:
Are petrochemical derivatives produced by cracking feed stocks from raw materials such as natural gas and crude oil.
2- Aromatics:
Aromatics are a group of hydrocarbons that include,benzene,toluene and xylenes.
3. Synthesis Gas:
Is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

Basic steps in catalytic reforming involve
1-Feed preparation.
Preheating.

3-Product separation.
4-Separation of aromatics.
Steam reforming
Catalytic Reforming:
Steam reforming is a method for producing hydrogen, carbon monoxide or other useful products from hydrocarbon fuels such as natural gas.
Device: Steam Methane Reformer(SMR)
The reforming process is a catalytic process which converts low octane naphtha into higher octane reformates products for gasoline blending and aromatic rich reformate for aromatic production.
The four major catalytic reforming reactions are:
Significant
Benzene, toluene, and xylene are all aromatic compounds important to the production of polymers other chemicals and numerous consumer products (solvents, paints, polishes, and pharmaceuticals ,TNT,nylons )
EXTRACTION OF AROMATICS (BTX)
The primary sources of (BTX) are refinery streams, especially from catalytic reforming and cracking, and pyrolysis gasoline from steam cracking and from coal liquids. The extracted components are separated through lengthy fractional distillation, crystallization, and isomerization processes.
