Abstract
The present invention relates to a process and a reactor for low pressure catalytic reforming of gasolines with heating by smoke gases. The reactor of the invention comprises: PA0 at least one means for introducing and removing the charge, PA0 at least one means for introducing and removing the catalyst, PA0 at least two elementary reaction cells not adjacent each other, substantially vertical and parallelepipedic, substantially parallel to each other, each of said cells being formed of three substantially parallelepipedic enclosures (an individual charge distributor, an individual processed charge collector, a catalytic bed), PA0 at least one general charge distributor, PA0 at least one general processed charge collector. The reforming process of the invention may be used in this reactor, smokes-based heating gases, coming from the combustion in air of a hydrocarbon mixture, flowing between the elementary reaction cells and thus bringing the heat required for the reforming reaction.
