Platforming Technology

UOP designed the world’s first Platforming unit in 1949. Since that time, we’ve designed more than 700 Platforming units for refineries around the world. We look forward to building upon our proven 50+ year track record to make your Platforming project a success.

In the Platforming process, naphtha feedstock is processed over a platinum-containing catalyst to produce reformate and hydrogen. Reformate is a high octane, low sulfur, blending component used in the production of gasoline. Reformate has a high aromatic content and is commonly used as a feedstock to an aromatics complex producing benzene, toluene and xylene.

When it comes to the Platforming process, UOP can deliver the total technology package for your refinery. We can provide the basic engineering package and catalyst for you to build and operate a Platforming unit. We can also supply key equipment and engineering services for your new or revamped Platforming unit. No matter what your needs, the UOP experts will be with you to assist you at every step of your operation.
