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 UOP Platforming Process Feed mixed with recycled hydrogen gas Preheated by feed effluent exchanger Further heated by fired heater Charged to reactor section Fired heater installed between reactors Effluent from the last reactor is cooled Cooling added near ambient temperatur e The effluent then charged to the separation section Portion of the gas from separator is compressed and recycled to reactor section Net hydrogen produced is sent to hydrogen users The separator liquid 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 At the top of the stabilizer residual hydrogen and C1 to C4 are withdrawn as condenser products, which are then sent to gas processing, Part of the liquid product (C3 and C4) is returned from the reflux drum back to the stabilizer.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
