Abstract: A semi-regeneration reforming unit was relocated and revamped to a counter-current continuous catalytic reforming configuration. The method and the effectiveness were discussed in terms of product quality, facility revamp, utility, energy consumption, investment, and technical economy. As a conclusion, SCCCR configuration is one of the best solutions for upgrading of semi-regeneration reforming process.

Key words: semi-regeneration reforming, counter-current continuous catalytic reforming, revamping
