Pros Cons
Reforming • High octane • High aromatics (benzene)
• Low RVP
• By-product hydrogen
Isomerization • Low aromatics & olefins • Once-through octane still
• Very low sulfur levels relatively low
• With recycle octane ratings • High octane requires separation
87 to 92 by chemical type & recycle
• High RVP
• Excludes
§ Cooling water, steam & power supply
§ Feed & product storage
§ Initial catalyst charge
§ Royalty
§ Feed fractionation or desulfurization
• Excludes
