Platinum is used as a catalyst . All technology providers in the world like
Rheniforming by M/s Chevron , Powerforming by M/s Exxon Oil Company , Magnaforming - by M/s Engelhard Catalyst Company (ARCO),Ultraforming - by M/s Standard Oil, Houdriforming- by M/s Houdry Process Corporation, CCR Platforming - M/s UOP , Octanizing - by M/s Axens are also using bimetallic catalyst which also contains platinum only. Since platinum has high temperature stability and yield stability properties compared to other metals. In reformer reactor temperatures are higher.

The development of a catalyst intended to maximize the desired reactions and minimize the undesirable ones is a complicated and sometimes arduous task achieved by learned specialists. In this case, it was discovered that rhenium is also effective and is used in some reformer applications.
