Pressure<br />

• Pressure is the basic variable because of its<br />

inherent effect on reaction rates<br />

• Effect of pressure on reactions<br />

– Low pressures enhance hydrogen producing reactions:<br />

dehydrogenation, dehydrocyclisation, , coking<br />

– Cracking rate is reduced<br />

The lower the pressure, the higher the yields of<br />

reformate <strong>and</strong> hydrogen for a given octane number.<br />

But high coking rate (compensated by continuous<br />

regeneration)<br />
