Continuous Catalytic Reforming (CCR)
Electric heaters and controls enable the process fluid to predictably rise to the specified operating temperature ensuring the desired chemical reactions are created. Re-gas heaters are used to regenerate the catalysts using hot inert gas and air heaters are used to burn coke from the catalyst surface.

WHITE PAPER
Decarbonization, Electrification and the Case for Modern Electric Process Heaters
Companies in liquified natural gas (LNG) and other industries have been taking bold steps to reduce their carbon footprint. The overall strategy of these companies is to tackle carbon emissions not only through alternative energy investment and increased efficiency, but also through converting key industrial processes (like process heating) to electric(rather than fuel-fired). This paper explores pressures to electrify process heating, as well as the role that electric heat exchangers are playing, particularly in light of innovations in the design of these heaters.
