Abstract
The modelling of a catalytic reforming process was carried out for a system of a fix-bed reactor with a commercial Platinum-Rhenium on alumina catalyst under isothermal condition. The feedstock is limited to C6 or c7 hydrocarbons or their mixture. The new models are based on the assumption that the reactions of C6 and C7 are independent and are formed by the models on the different mechanisms. The results from the model that uses Marin’s mechanism (for c6) and Van Trimfont (for c7) which based on Hougen-Watson rate equation are the best fit with the experimental results. The new model can be extended to other operating condition by determining the rate constants from experiments.
