Abstract

Improved catalytic reforming processes and systems employ reforming reactors in a more efficient manner and can avoid problems associated with yield loss. A portion of the naphtha feed is pre-reformed for conversion of paraffinic naphtha-range compounds into naphthenes and/or aromatics prior to passing to a reforming unit.
