Abstract
The catalytic activity fluctuations upset the equilibrium in reactions of the hydrogenation of carbon depositions and causes increased coke formation. We propose a method of estimation of the Pt–Re catalysts activity, which allows keeping track of the activity enhancement, and hence provides prolongation of the catalyst service cycle by 20–30 %. The method is based on keeping the catalytic activity at an optimum level using the developed computer system.
