Reactions such as dehydrogenation of

paraffins and naphthenes which are very


rapid and highly endothermic
Reactions that are considered rapid, such
as paraffin isomerization and naphthens
dehydroisomerization, give moderate
temperature decline
Slow reactions such as dehydrocyclization
and hydrocracking give low temperature
decline

Portion of the

pumped to
product
stabilizer
Recycling some of the
hydrogen produced.
At the top of the
stabilizer residual
hydrogen and C1
to C4 are
withdrawn as
condenser
products, which
are then sent to
gas processing,
Part of the liquid
product (C3 and
C4) is returned
from the reflux
drum back to the
stabilizer.

Some light
hydrocarbons
(C1 C4) are
separated from
the reformate in
the stabilizer
The main product of the column is stabilized reformate,
which is sent to the gasoline blending plant
