Mathematical modeling of platforming

Mathematical model for platforming process of low-octane naphtha cuts in the presence of multifunctional catalysts is described. The degree of freedom of variation of the parameters is significant with respect to their number and the limits of variation. Statistical and determined sets of parameters thus interact in conditions of reforming of naphtha cuts on multifunctional catalysts. The number and degree of variation of the parameters are a function of the design and operating conditions of the unit, such as ideal displacement, ideal mixing, or intermediate regime of flow of the reagents through the reactor. Creation of a mathematical model of the platforming process includes accumulation of a significant mass of experimental data from an industrial unit concerning the effect of different parameters amd creation of a kinetic scheme of the process.
