Abstract
An improved combination process for the production of an unleaded, narrow boiling range, high octane motor fuel which involves (1) a novel form of low-severity hydrocracking followed by (2) catalytic reforming wherein the exothermic conversion in the hydrocracking zone is controlled by adjusting the hydrocracking reaction zone pressure. The process is effected without the intermediate separation of the product effluent from the low-severity hydrocracking zone, and therefore, provides a true "in-line" hydrocracking/reforming combination process.
