Reforming Catalyst Testing: How to test multiple Naphtha Reforming catalysts with 16-parallel reactors

Learn how Avantium’s Flowrence® Technology revolutionizes naphtha reforming catalyst testing through high-throughput, precision-driven methods. This webinar showcases:

  • 16-parallel reactor system for simultaneous catalyst testing with unmatched reactor-to-reactor repeatability.
  • Proprietary microfluidics and Active Liquid Distribution (ALD) for accurate gas/liquid flow and pressure control.
  • Validated protocols for both Semi-Regenerative (SR) and Continuous Catalytic Reforming (CCR) catalysts.
  • Detailed case studies comparing catalyst performance in terms of C5+ yield, aromatics, hydrogen production, and coke content.
  • Accelerated deactivation testing to simulate commercial unit conditions and assess catalyst stability.
  • Strong correlation between Avantium’s pilot plant data and commercial refinery performance, enabling confident catalyst selection.

Key Takeaway: Avantium offers a reliable, independent, and data-rich approach to catalyst benchmarking, helping refiners make fact-based decisions to optimize performance and profitability.
