Abstract: The development process and major technological innovation of the ultra-low pressure naphtha reforming technology with continuous catalyst regeneration developed by our country were introduced. The technology was adopted by the 1000kt/a CCR unit at Guangzhou Petrochemical Company. After the determination of unit capacity, feedstock and product target, the suitable catalyst was selected. The design parameters as reaction pressure, octane number of C5+ product, reaction temperature, space velocity, hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio and catalyst circulating rate were chosen upon the study on process conditions and process parameters. The commercial results showed that the research octane number of C5+ product reached 104 when the capacity reached 100% and 115% of the design value. The other technical targets reached or exceeded the expected value.
