Abstract
A process for a catalytic reforming system, the process comprising controlling an amount of aromatic hydrocarbon fed to a sulfur removal system in the catalytic reforming system such that a temperature of a reduced sulfur stream flowing from the sulfur removal system is higher than a temperature of a stream which is fed to the sulfur removal system, due to a heat of reaction generated in the sulfur removal system by converting at least a portion of the aromatic hydrocarbon to aliphatic hydrocarbons. A process for a catalytic reforming system, the process comprising feeding an effective amount of aromatic hydrocarbons to a sulfur removal system of the catalytic reforming system such that a heat duty of a first furnace of a plurality of reactor-furnace pairs connected in series in the catalytic reforming system is reduced relative to operation of the sulfur removal system without the effective amount of aromatic hydrocarbons.
