Catforming process, reforming

Catforming [Catalytic reforming] A catalytic reforming process using a platinum catalyst on a silica/alumina support. Developed by the Atlantic Refining Company and first operated in 1952. 

Catforming a process for reforming naphtha using a platinum-silica-alumina catalyst which permits relatively high space velocities and results in the production of high-purity hydrogen. 

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...
