ISOTHERMAL PROCESS FOR CONVERTING NAPHTHA TO LIGHT PARAFFINS

Abstract: a process for converting naphtha is disclosed. the process comprises contacting a naphtha stream and a hydrogen stream with a catalyst in a reactant passage of a reactor to produce a light paraffinic stream. the reactant passage is cooled by indirect heat exchange with a heat transferred media in a cooling passage adjacent to the reactant passage. the light paraffinic stream is separated into an ethane stream and a propane stream.
