Abstract: A pre-hydrofining catalyst LY-2010 for catalytic reforming feed was developed by Petrochemical Research Institute of CNPC and evaluated using SR naphtha from Lanzhou Petrochemical Company in a 360ml hydrogenation reactor. The results were compared with that of a domestic reference catalyst. The results showed that the hydrogenation performance of LY-2010 is better than that of the reference catalyst though the inlet temperature of LY-2010 is 10℃lower. The catalyst was successfully applied in the 1.4 Mt/a CCR unit of Liaoyang Petrochemical Company. Both sulfur and nitrogen content of the hydrofined product are less than 0.5 μg/g under reaction conditions of 274 ℃, 2.2 MPa and LHSV of 5.0 h-1，in compliance with the demand of reformer feed.
