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 />
