Processes for increasing an octane value of a gasoline component

A process for producing a gasoline blend, the process comprising:

• separating a naphtha feed in a fractionation column into a stream comprising C6 and lighter boiling hydrocarbons, one or more C7 hydrocarbon streams comprising methylcyclohexane, iC7, and nC7, and a heavy stream comprising C8 hydrocarbons;
• isomerizing, in a C6 isomerization zone at isomerization conditions, at least a portion of the stream comprising C6 and lighter boiling hydrocarbons to form a C6 isomerization effluent;
• isomerizing, in a C7 isomerization zone at isomerization conditions, at least the nC7 from the one or more C7 hydrocarbon streams comprising methylcyclohexane, iC7, and nC7 to form a C7 isomerization effluent;
• dehydrogenating, in a C7 dehydrogenation zone at dehydrogenation conditions, the iC7 from the one or more C7 hydrocarbon streams comprising methylcyclohexane, iC7, and nC7 to form a C7 dehydrogenation effluent, wherein the methylcyclohexane of the one or more C7 hydrocarbon stream comprising methylcyclohexane, iC7, and nC7 bypasses the C7 dehydrogenation zone;
• reforming, in a reforming zone under reforming conditions, the heavy stream to form a reformate stream;
• and,
• blending the C6 isomerization effluent, the reformate stream, the C7 dehydrogenation effluent, and the C7 isomerization effluent to form the gasoline blend.
