Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0134335A1] Hydrocarbons are subjected to a catalytic reforming process in which they are preheated in a fired heater (4) prior to the reforming reactor (5, 9, 11) and the liquid portion of the reactor effluent is fractionated in a stabilizer column (16) to recover the product reformate (22). In order to dispense with a separate fired heater for the stabilizer column a predetermined amount of the reformate is reheated in indirect heat exchange (23a) in a convection heating section of the fired heater (4) for the reforming reactor (5, 9, 11) and then returned to the stabilizer column (16), and a further portion of the reformate is subjected to indirect heat exchange (15) with the reactor effluent and returned to the stabilizer column (16) to provide the remainder of its heat requirement.
