The naphtha catalytic reforming process is evaluated by designing new composite nano-catalysts. Three catalysts were prepared for this process. first catalyst was molybdenum carbide with platinum over HY zeolite (Mo2C.Pt/HY zeolite), the second modified cerium nitrate (Mo2C.Pt/CeY and last bimetallic titanium a content of 1% 0.11% (Pt.Ti/HY zeolite). All tested several tests, mainly X-Ray Diffr...

Due to high applicability of the fixed bed catalytic naphtha reforming reactors, hydrodynamic features of this kind of reactors with radial flow pattern are improved in this work by utilising computational fluid dynamics technique. Effects of catalytic bed porosity, inlet flow rate and flow regime through the bed on the flow distribution within the system are investigated.It is found that t...

The substantial growth in shale-derived natural gas production the US has caused significant changes chemical and petrochemical markets. Ethylene of ethane naphtha via steam cracking is one most energy- emission-intensive activities manufacturing. High operating temperatures, high reaction endothermicity, complex separation create energy demands as well considerable CO2 emissions. In this study...

The naphtha reforming process converts low-octane gasoline blending components to high-octane components for use in high-performance gasoline fuels. The reformer also has an important function as the producer of hydrogen to the refinery hydrotreaters. A process model based on a unit model structure, is used for estimation of the process condition using data reconciliation. Measurements are clas...

Sewage sludge, an abundant and problematic organic waste, was successfully converted into sustainable jet fuel range hydrocarbons (C8-C16). sludge pre-conditioned processed through a Thermo-Catalytic Reforming (TCR) system (2 Kg/h) at 450 ºC pyrolysis 700 post-reforming temperature to produce biocrude oil. The bio-crude oil subsequently conditioned upgraded via consecutive two-step hydroprocess...
