Abstract
A process for the conversion of paraffins and olefins in a hydrocarbon feedstream to aromatics is presented. The process includes separating the hydrocarbon feedstream into two separate streams, a lighter hydrocarbon stream and a heavier hydrocarbon stream, and processing each of the streams separately. The process includes passing the light stream through a series of reforming units and adding the heavy stream at a downstream position to pass through a subsequent reforming unit.
