Introduction

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Continuous Catalytic Regeneration (CCR) Platforming technology used for reforming naphtha into high-octane reformate and hydrogen. Participants will learn reactor operation, catalyst circulation, regeneration steps, heater management, and key operating variables. The training also covers common upsets, troubleshooting techniques, and optimisation practices that enhance yield, efficiency, and catalyst life.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:

  • Explain CCR Platformer process fundamentals and key equipment.
  • Understand catalyst regeneration and circulation steps.
  • Manage critical operating variables and reactor/hydrogen balance.
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and troubleshoot common issues.
  • Optimise unit operation for octane, yield, and energy efficiency.
