Abstract

Processes for producing a gasoline blend in which C7 hydrocarbons are separated from a naphtha feed. The C7 hydrocarbons are isomerized and dehydrogenated to increase the octane value of the components therein. In order to avoid conversion of methylcyclohexane to toluene in the dehydrogenation reactor, the various processes provide flow schemes in which the methylcyclohexane bypasses the C7 dehydrogenation reaction zone.
