# Increasing Semi-Regenerative Reformer Performance Through Catalytic Solutions

![Thumb\_Technical Article - increasing\_semi-regenerative\_reformer\_performance-English\_1](https://resources.axens.net/hubfs/Landing%20Pages/Resources/Technical%20Article/Thumbnails/Thumb_Technical%20Article%20-%20increasing_semi-regenerative_reformer_performance-English_1.jpg)

Catalytic reforming with fluid catalytic cracking is the backbone for gasoline production. Reforming is also the most important source of aromatics for the petrochemical industry. For gasoline production, despite limitations in aromatics, reforming remains the key process in the refinery. Indeed it is also the main source of hydrogen and, due to the most stringent specification for sulphur in motor fuels, additional hydrogen is needed for hydrotreatment processing.
