Overview
UOP CCR Platforming Process
“The CCR Platforming process uses naphtha boiling in the range of 180–400 °F
to produce high-octane gasoline or petrochemical precursors. This technology
is the world’s leading reforming process. It is also the technology of choice for
new reforming applications, providing refiners with proven, ultra-low-pressure
(50 PSIG reactor pressure) operation and producing the highest reforming
yields.
In gasoline applications, the Platforming process produces high-octane
reformate for unleaded gasoline blending to make higher-octane grades of
gasoline. In reformulated gasoline applications, the low-pressure, low-severity
Platforming process restores a refinery’s hydrogen balance by maximizing the
yield of hydrogen, even at the required low-octane severities. With appropriate
prefractionation, the process produces the low-benzene, low-vapor-pressure
material mandated by reformulated gasoline.”

History
The semi-regenerative Platforming process, introduced by UOP in 1949, was
the first catalytic reforming process to use platinum-coated catalysts. Advances
continuously improved the process, and in 1972, UOP introduced the Platform-
ing process with CCR (Continuous Catalyst Regeneration).
CCR (Continuous Catalyst Regeneration)
CCR Platforming incorporates a moving catalyst bed that allows catalyst to be
added or removed from the reactor while the unit is operating. Spent catalyst
from the reactor flows to the regeneration tower where the carbon is burned
off and the catalyst is reconditioned. Regenerated catalyst is returned to the
top of the reactor stack.
