    Abstract: A process for a catalytic reforming system, the process comprising controlling an amount of aromatic hydrocarbon fed to a sulfur removal system in the catalytic reforming system such that a temperature of a reduced sulfur stream flowing from the sulfur removal system is higher than a temperature of a stream which is fed to the sulfur removal system, due to a heat of reaction generated in the sulfur removal system by converting at least a portion of the aromatic hydrocarbon to aliphatic hydrocarbons. A process for a catalytic reforming system, the process comprising feeding an effective amount of aromatic hydrocarbons to a sulfur removal system of the catalytic reforming system such that a heat duty of a first furnace of a plurality of reactor-furnace pairs connected in series in the catalytic reforming system is reduced relative to operation of the sulfur removal system without the effective amount of aromatic hydrocarbons.

    Abstract: A method of processing one or more streams in a benzene production system comprising receiving a reactor effluent stream comprising benzene from an aromatization reactor system; introducing reactor effluent stream into a first separator to produce first gas stream and first liquid stream; splitting the first gas stream into first portion and second portion of first gas stream; introducing first portion of first gas stream into a first compressor to produce first compressed gas stream; introducing first compressed gas stream into a second separator to produce recycle gas stream comprising hydrogen and second liquid stream; recycling recycle gas stream to aromatization reactor system; introducing second portion of first gas stream into a second compressor to produce second compressed gas stream; introducing second compressed gas stream into a third separator to produce gas product stream comprising hydrogen and third liquid stream; and optionally recycling gas product stream to aromatization reactor system.

    Abstract: A system of reforming reactors comprises a plurality of reactors coupled by flow lines, a feed header coupled to the plurality of reactors by a plurality of feed lines, an effluent header coupled to the plurality of reactors by a plurality of effluent lines, and a plurality of valves disposed in the flow lines, the feed lines, and the effluent lines. Each reactor comprises a reforming catalyst, and the plurality of valves are capable of being dynamically operated to create a first serial flow path through the plurality of reactors. The plurality of valves is further configured to dynamically reconnect the plurality of reactors to create a second serial flow path through the plurality of reactors. A first reactor of the plurality of reactors is adjacent to a second reactor of the plurality of reactors in the first serial flow path, and the first reactor is not adjacent to the second reactor in the second serial flow path.
