Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for reforming a hydrocarbon stream is presented. The process involves splitting a naphtha feedstream to at least two feedstreams and partially processing each feedstream in separate reactors. The processing includes passing the light stream to a combination hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactor. The process reduces the energy by reducing the endothermic properties of intermediate reformed process streams.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for producing aromatic compounds from a hydrocarbon feedstream, comprising: passing the hydrocarbon feedstream to a fractionation unit to generate an overhead stream comprising C7 and lighter hydrocarbons including naphthenes and olefins, and a bottoms stream comprising C8 and heavier hydrocarbons; passing the overhead stream to a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactor system and contacting with a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation catalyst consi…
