Claim:
1. A process for dehydrogenation of, the process comprising: a) providing a reactor having a fixed catalyst bed, the fixed catalyst bed having an inlet section, a middle section and optionally an outlet section, wherein b) reducing the fixed catalyst bed wherein the heat-generating component of the second catalytic composition generates heat that passes into the first catalyst composition and, if present, the third catalytic composition; then c) contacting the propane with the fixed catalyst bed to form propylene; then d) optionally, purging the fixed catalyst bed; and e) regenerating the fixed catalyst bed by contacting the fixed catalyst bed with air, wherein a ratio of air in the regenerating step to the propane in the contacting step is in a range of about 6.5 wt/wt to about 2 wt/wt.
