Catalytic reforming continues to play an important role in meeting the world's demands for high octane gasoline, petrochemicals and hydrogen. Due to shifting market demands and aging equipment, many of today's reforming units are operating under a much different set of conditions than for what they were originally designed.

Three broad categories will be explored: process/equipment solutions, catalyst solutions and services solutions.
