I was the original sole author of this Wikipedia article

I copied it to here at Citizendium as is with the Wikipedia title ... and will now delete all of the Wikipedia links and certain sections. I will also be making some wording changes. - Milton Beychok 18:11, 29 January 2008 (CST)

description of Feed stream in diagram

In the text, the feed stream for catalytic reforming is described as "heavy naphtha". I would recommend to use the same description in the schematic drawing, instead of "Dehexanized Naphtha", in order to prevent confusions. Guido van der Lans 08:33, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment, Guido. Changing a drawing requires quite a bit of time and effort. So, instead, I changed the wording in the text to reflect your comment. Milton Beychok 07:03, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I probably should have nominated along with naptha...nominating now

Since they are rather interdependent. Your call, but I'd move the TOC to the top to remove whitespace. Howard C. Berkowitz 18:26, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

bottoms

The last sentence in "Process description" begins: "The bottoms product ..." -- is this correct, or should it be "The bottom's product ..." or the "The bottom product ..." ? --Peter Schmitt 23:18, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Peter, first let me thank you for picking up some hyphens and other typos. It is very common in the refining industry to refer to the product leaving the bottom of any distillation tower as "the bottoms" product. So yes, that sentence is okay as it stands. Milton Beychok 00:23, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
I asked because it suspected this, but it could have been a typo as well. --Peter Schmitt 00:30, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
