Basic reformer configuration

We select the Reformer icon from the Refining Reactors palette and click on the Refomer icon and place the icon the flowsheet Placing the icon invokes the several sub-models that prepare the flowsheet for additional objects and creates a large depiction of the reformer object on the flowsheet 

The reformer configuration requires choosing the type of reformer, number of reactors and their dimensions and catalyst loadings for each reactor. Additionally, we may also specify additional downstream fractionation equipment such as hydrogen recontactor and stabilizer tower. However, we note that the selecting options produce a simplified model for fractionation that may not be appropriate

Furnaces, also referred to as heaters, are one of the main pieces of equipment in a process complex. A furnace may raise the temperature of a gas or hydrocarbon liquid to meet specific processing needs or, in the case of pyrolysis and reformer furnaces, cause a chemical or physical change to the medium. A circular or box-type configuration is primarily used variations to each design are covered throughout this chapter. In addition, because of the various types of furnaces, this chapter covers some basics of furnace design and discusses how to approach a piping layout as it relates to maintenance, operation, and safety.
