CCR Platforming Process.
Catalytic reaction causes coke to be deposited on the catalyst as it moves
through the reactors, degrading its performance. Once in the regenerator,
the coke is burned off the catalyst. However, the resulting high tempera-
ture greatly increases the risk of permanent damage to the catalyst and so
the combustion must be controlled. This is done by controlling the oxygen
content. The catalyst is the key ingredient used in the catalytic reforming
process and oxygen measurement is critical to this process. It is essential
that the oxygen analyzer function accurately and be easy to service and
maintain.
A major benefit of the of the UOP CCR process is that the catalytic reform-
ing process can run uninterrupted. Other catalyst regeneration methods
require a shutdown of the process which is costly and defeats the pur-
pose of the UOP-type system. The oxygen analyzer is critical to the UOP-
patented CCR process and designed specifically to monitor oxygen levels
during catalyst regeneration.
