HIGH TEMPERATURE HYDROGEN SULPHIDE CORROSION IN COMMERCIAL SOVAFORMER UNITS: PART 1

Abstract

Catalytic reforming has grown rapidly during the past six years, reaching over a million barrels daily. This acceptance is largely due to the effectiveness of catalytic reforming as a source of low‐sulphur, high‐octane motor fuels; aromatics for petro‐chemicals and low‐cost hydrogen are valuable by‐products. Some ten competitive processes are available to the refiners. Of the processes available, those using a platinum‐type catalyst have found the widest acceptance. Of the nearly 200 units in operation or under construction, over 90% use a platinum‐containing catalyst.
