A reforming process includes integrating catalytic cracking product naphtha dehydrogenation and naphtha from a hydrocracking zone and feeding them to a dehydrogenation zone. The dehydrogenation zone includes a first portion of reforming catalyst from a catalyst regenerator that moves downward through the dehydrogenation zone. A product stream from the dehydrogenation zone flows to an aromatics unit and is separated into an aromatic-rich extract and a raffinate. Straight run naphtha and the raffinate are introduced to a first reforming zone that includes a second portion of reforming catalyst. The reforming catalyst moves through the first reforming zone then is removed from the bottom of each of the first reforming zone and the dehydrogenation zone and is fed to a second reforming zone. An effluent from the first reforming zone is fed to a plurality of reforming zones. The reforming catalyst moves downward through the multiple reforming zones then to a regenerator.
A method of integrating fluid catalytic cracking product naphtha dehydrogenation with catalytic reforming, the method comprising:
