Fixed-bed/moving-bed two stage catalytic reforming with recycle of hydrogen-rich stream to both stages

摘要

A two stage process for catalytically reforming a gasoline boiling range hydrocarbonaceous feedstock. The reforming is conducted in two stages wherein the first stage is operated in a fixed bed mode, and the second stage is operated in a moving bed continuous catalyst regeneration mode. A hydrogen-rich stream is recycled through both stages.
