This work is dedicated to the construction of a kinetic model for the naphtha reforming process. By assembling the components into reactivity based lumps, a new reaction network model rooted on 33 lumps and 101 reactions was studied. The tabu search algorithm was used to determine the global optimal solution. The experimental data from the laboratory scale isothermal reactor was used to investigate the kinetics. By comparing with the test data, the average deviation of the reformed products calculated from the proposed model reached 2.5%.
