An integrated process for producing para-xylenes may include catalytically reforming a naphtha feed stream to form a reformate stream; separating the reformate stream into a C1-C7 hydrocarbon stream and a C8+ hydrocarbon stream; exposing the C1-C7 hydrocarbon stream to a first solvent in a solvent extraction unit to form a non-aromatic hydrocarbon stream and a C6-C7 aromatics stream; separating the C6-C7 aromatics stream into at least a toluene feed stream; separating the C8+ hydrocarbon stream into a C9+ hydrocarbon stream and a xylene stream; separating the xylene stream in a p-xylene separation unit to form the para-xylene stream and a xylene isomer stream; isomerizing the xylene isomer stream to produce a para-xylene rich stream; and upgrading the toluene feed stream and the C9+ hydrocarbon stream in a hybrid dealkylation/transalkylation unit with a hydrogen stream and a hybrid transalkylation/dealkylation catalyst to produce a product stream including para-xylenes.
