Abstract
Provided is a process for producing aromatics including the steps of preparing a Chydrocarbon stream, feeding a naphtha stream and the Chydrocarbon stream to a reforming unit, and reforming the naphtha stream and the Chydrocarbon stream to yield aromatics. The process combines a co-feed containing Chydrocarbons, an alkali/alkaline earth metal-containing reforming catalyst, and a high temperature operating regime to achieve significant improvements in a reforming process for the production of xylenes and other aromatics.
