Improving CCR reforming profitability by using high density catalysts

Arguably, increasing gasoline and aromatics production is one of today’s greatest challenges for refineries. Operators, constantly on the lookout to find new ways to meet their production goals, research a variety of options including building new units or de-bottlenecking existing ones.

For refineries seeking to maximise production on existing assets, the global trend is to shift to high density catalyst.

Join UOP’s panel of experts to learn about the science behind high density catalyst and why this trend is catching on. Plus, you’ll discover how R-364, one of UOP’s newest Continuous Catalyst Regeneration (CCR) technologies, offers greater operational flexibility for increased capacity and increased yields, resulting in greater gasoline and aromatics production.
