Abstract
A substantially water-free hydrocarbon feed is charged to a reformer reactor operated under reforming conditions; thereafter, a chlorine-containing additive is introduced, without the simultaneous introduction of water, into the substantially water-free hydrocarbon feed being charged to the reformer reactor in an amount and for a time period that are effective to inhibit deactivation of the reformer catalyst; thereafter, the introduction of the chlorine-containing additive is terminated and the charging of the substantially water-free hydrocarbon feed to the reformer reactor is continued.
