Abstract:
A process for reducing the benzene content of a light reformate refinery stream comprises the following steps: a) reducing the benzene content by exposing the light reformate to hydrogenation conditions in a benzene-saturation reactor bed, b) increasing the octane number of the hydrogenated light reformate produced in step a) by exposing it to isomerization conditions, c) further reducing the benzene content by exposing the light reformate refinery stream to further hydrogenation conditions, wherein the isomerization of step b) occurs after step a), the hydrogenation of step c) does not precede the isomerization step b), and steps a), b) and c) are all carried out within the same reactor.
