Abstract
A pretreatment process is disclosed for increasing conversion and reducing the fouling rate of reforming catalysts wherein the catalyst is pretreated at a temperature from 1025.degree. F. to 1275.degree. F. in a reducing atmosphere prior to contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon feed in the presence of hydrogen.
