1. An alkylation system comprising:
a multi-zone alkylation reactor comprising:
a plurality of alkylation zones spaced vertically in a series configuration;
at least one vertical partition splitting the plurality of alkylation zones into at least a first mechanically separated catalytic volume and a second mechanically separated catalytic volume;
an isobutane inlet positioned to supply an isobutane stream to the first mechanically separated catalytic volume;
at least one olefinic feed inlet positioned to supply an olefin-containing stream to the plurality of alkylation zones, the olefin-containing stream reacting with the isobutane stream to produce an alkylate stream; and
