Platforming Processes

UOP offers a broad range of Platforming technologies to meet the needs of any refinery.

CCR Platforming is the preferred process for reforming of naphtha to produce aromatics for petrochemical complexes, high octane gasoline and hydrogen. In the CCR Platforming unit, aged catalyst in the reactors is continuously replaced with catalyst that has been freshly regenerated in an external regenerator (CCR regenerator) to maintain fresh catalyst performance.


Continuous improvements in fixed-bed Platforming process technology have made this technology the preferred process for units that do not require operation at high severity or for refiners who wish to make staged investment to achieve high severity operation.

UOP is also a supplier of naphtha hydrotreating technology [NHT], which effectively and economically prepares feed for processing in Platforming units and light naphtha isomerization units.

In addition, our Recovery-Plus technology offers a means to recover reformate and LPG and increase hydrogen purity beyond conventional recovery schemes in a packaged, modular delivered unit.
