2. Manufacturing Technology. The treatment of a hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon mixture so as to produce changes in composition; spec. (a) the process of heating petrol under pressure over a catalyst so as to increase the octane number (the major effects being an increase in the proportions of aromatic and other unsaturated cyclic compounds, and loss of hydrogen); (b) the partial or complete conversion of a gaseous hydrocarbon to carbon monoxide and hydrogen by heating with steam over a catalyst.Not all the early re-forming processes used a catalyst.
