Catalytic-reforming processes Powerforming

Powerforming A catalytic reforming process, based on a platinum catalyst. Developed by Esso Research Engineering Company. First commercialized in Baltimore in 1955, and now widely licensed. 

Powerforming —catalytic reforming process patented by Exxon. 

Powerforming is basically a conversion process in which catalytically promoted chemical reactions convert low octane feed components into high octane products. The key to a good reforming process is a highly selective dual-function catalyst. The dual nature of this catalyst relates to the two separate catalyst functions atomically dispersed platinum to provide... 

In catalytic reforming, only the platinum catalyst processes (Platforming,Catforming,Sinclair Baker, Ultraforming, Powerforming, Sovaforming, etc. ) are sufficiently well defined to allow the prediction of yields (see Table 21-24). The approximate maximum...
