Abstract:
Processes and apparatuses for producing aromatic compounds from a naphtha feed stream are provided herein. In an embodiment, a process for producing aromatic compounds includes heating the naphtha feed stream to produce a heated naphtha feed stream. The heated naphtha feed stream is reformed within a plurality of reforming stages that are arranged in series to produce a downstream product stream. The plurality of reforming stages is operated at ascending reaction temperatures. The naphtha feed stream is heated by transferring heat from the downstream product stream to the naphtha feed stream to produce the heated naphtha feed stream and a cooled downstream product stream.
