Abstract
In the article, the authors analyzed the data of the technological mode of operation of the catalytic reforming installation for one year. The data represent technological parameters such as the temperature of the raw material at the entrance to the first reactor, the pressure at the entrance to the first reactor, etc. The data was averaged to the daily average. Non-operational parameters and downtime periods have been identified and excluded. Regression analysis was carried out by the method of multivariate linear regression in order to obtain a mathematical model of the installation. The use of this method allows you to take into account the influence of several parameters at the same time. A Pareto front has been built to identify the optimal operating mode of the installation.
