Concept Introduction:
The performance of an engine or fuel is measured in terms of octane number or octane rating. The processes that are used to increase the octane number of a fuel are known as catalytic cracking and catalytic reforming. Catalytic reforming converts the straight chain hydrocarbon into the branched hydrocarbon.
