METHOD OF CATALYTIC REFORMING CONTROL Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C10G35/24 G05D27/00 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to oil refining industry, in particular, to methods of catalytic reforming control for production of high-octane petrol. The invention is applied to the method that includes regulation of temperature profiles for reactor sequence, calculation of octane number increment for each reactor, temperature at the input of raw materials to reactors, anticipated run time for catalyst, assessment of relative catalyst activity and selection of rate for change in catalyst deactivation which forecasts identical (with preset accuracy) period of catalyst operation for each reactor till critical values of deactivation occur; at that the mode is regulated so that the time between catalyst regenerations reaches maximum value provided that preset qualitative indicators are obtained and reaching of required temperature for raw materials is determined on the basis of preset conditions.

EFFECT: in-line enhancement of process parameters without use of laboratory analysis, on the basis of computational procedure for assessment of catalyst activity degree and quality of the target product.
