Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the production of aromatic compounds from a hydrocarbon fraction with a catalyst the preferably circulates in a moving bed. In the process, a hydrocarbon feedstock that is treated by a hydrogen-rich gas is transformed. In a particular embodiment, regenerative reforming is conducted, such as for production of BTX (butene, toluene, xylenes) with continuous regeneration of the catalyst. The invention also pertains to the related device for carrying out the process.
