Data reconciliation and optimal operation of a catalytic naphtha reformer [PDF]
Journal of Process Control, 2008 The naphtha reforming process converts low-octane gasoline blending components to high-octane components for use in high-performance gasoline fuels. The reformer also has an important function as the producer of hydrogen to the refinery hydrotreaters. A process model based on a unit model structure, is used for estimation of the process condition using
