Abstract
A study has been made to optimize the steam requirements of a light distillate reforming gas plant. The results show that for a low sulphur content feedstock, a substantial economic saving is obtained by reducing the distillation column reflux ratio from a design value of 3. 0:1. 0 to zero:1. 0. Furthermore, by reforming crude feedstock, an additional financial saving can be achieved and still produce a satisfactory final town gas.
