Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein related to processes and systems for alkane aromatization. In some embodiments, the process includes merging a benzene-containing stream into an ethane containing stream to form a feed stream. The feed stream has at least 5 wt. % benzene based on the total weight of the feed stream. In addition, the process includes contacting the feed stream with an aromatization catalyst to produce an effluent stream comprising Caromatic hydrocarbons. Less than 5 wt. % net benzene is produced during the contacting, based on a total weight of the feed stream.
