Title: Cyclization and fluid catalytic cracking systems and methods for upgrading naphtha

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     Field 
     The present disclosure generally relates to processes and systems for upgrading hydrocarbons, more specifically, systems and processes for upgrading naphtha to greater value chemical products and intermediates. 
     Technical Background 
     Hydrocarbon feeds, such as naphtha, can be converted to chemical products and intermediates such as olefins and aromatic compounds, which are basic intermediates for a large portion of the petrochemical industry. The worldwide increasing demand for light olefins and aromatic compounds remains a major challenge for many integrated refineries. In particular, the production of some valuable light olefins, such as ethylene, propene, and butenes, has attracted increased attention as pure olefin streams are considered the building blocks for polymer synthesis. Additionally, aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes can be valuable intermediates for synthesizing polymers and other organic compounds as well as for fuel additives. Further the processing of naphtha streams, such as light naphtha, may be desirable, as light naphtha possess a low octane number and its use in gasoline production is limited. 
     SUMMARY 
     Light naphtha, which is generally described as a C 5 -C 6  hydrocarbon, may be produced by routine refinery processes or gas plants. Light naphtha possesses a low octane number. Typically, the octane number of light naphtha may range from 40 to 60. Over time, light naphtha has become relatively limited for use as a blending stock for gasoline production due to this low octane number. Light naphtha may be isomerized to increase its octane number and be used in gasoline blending despite its vapor pressure limitations. Light naphtha may also be commonly used as a feed for a stream cracker for light olefin production. However, the transformation of light naphtha into desirable gasoline-blending components or desirable chemicals is an ongoing challenge. 
     The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit is one of the primary hydrocarbon conversion units in the modern petroleum refinery. The FCC unit may predominantly produce gasoline in a conventional FCC unit, or produce propylene in a high severity FCC unit. In high severity FCC units, the hydrocarbons may be converted to gasoline over a cracking catalyst, which can also be converted to olefins over a cracking catalyst additive. 
     In FCC processes, hydrocarbons are catalytically cracked with an acidic catalyst maintained in a fluidized state. One of the main products from such processes has typically been gasoline. The gasoline and other hydrocarbon products may be further cracked to light olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, butenes, or combinations of these, during the FCC process. Despite the many advances in FCC processes, upgrading light naphtha in an FCC process is limited due to the paraffins in the light naphtha are not being reactive in the FCC process. The industry is constantly seeking improved systems and methods for upgrading hydrocarbons, including light naphtha, to produce greater value products and intermediates. 
     Accordingly, there is an ongoing need for systems and methods of upgrading hydrocarbons, such as light naphtha, to increase the efficiency of the upgrading process and improve yields of desired products, such as gasoline-blending components and light olefins. As FCC processes are typically used to produce gasoline and gasoline-blending components, there has been a desire to process light naphtha in FCC units to use light naphtha for gasoline blending. The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for upgrading naphtha feeds to produce greater value products and intermediates, such as gasoline-blending components, light olefins, or both, by cyclizing and cracking light naphtha. Cyclizing the light naphtha may convert a portion of paraffins in the light naphtha to naphthenes, which are more reactive in FCC process compared to the non-reactive paraffins. 
     According to one or more aspects of the present disclosure, a process for separating and upgrading a naphtha feed may include passing the naphtha feed to a naphtha separation unit that separates the naphtha feed into at least a light naphtha fraction and a heavy naphtha fraction. The process may further include passing the light naphtha fraction to a cyclization unit. The cyclization unit may contact the light naphtha fraction with hydrogen in the presence of at least one cyclization catalyst to produce a cyclization effluent. The cyclization effluent may comprise a greater concentration of naphthenes compared to the light naphtha fraction. The process may further include passing the cyclization effluent to a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit. The FCC unit may contact the cyclization effluent with at least one cracking catalyst under conditions sufficient crack at least a portion of the cyclization effluent to produce an FCC effluent. The FCC effluent comprising light olefins, gasoline blending components, or both. 
     In one or more other aspects of the present disclosure, a process for upgrading a naphtha feed may include separating the naphtha feed into at least a light naphtha fraction and a heavy naphtha fraction. The process may further include contacting the light naphtha fraction with hydrogen in the presence of at least one cyclization catalyst to produce a cyclization effluent. The cyclization effluent may comprise a greater concentration of naphthenes compared to the light naphtha fraction. The process may further include contacting the cyclization effluent with at least one cracking catalyst under conditions sufficient crack at least a portion of the cyclization effluent to produce an FCC effluent. The FCC effluent comprising light olefins, gasoline blending components, or both. 
     In still other aspects of the present disclosure, a system for upgrading a naphtha feed may include a naphtha separation unit, a cyclization unit, and an FCC unit. The naphtha separation unit may separate a naphtha feed into at least a light naphtha fraction and a heavy naphtha fraction. The cyclization unit may be disposed downstream of the naphtha separation unit and may contact the light naphtha fraction with hydrogen in the presence of at least one cyclization catalyst to produce a cyclization effluent. The FCC unit may be disposed downstream of the cyclization unit and may crack the cyclization effluent to produce a fluid catalytic cracking effluent. 
     Additional features and advantages of the technology described in this disclosure will be set forth in the detailed description which follows, and in part will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the description or recognized by practicing the technology as described in this disclosure, including the detailed description which follows, the claims, as well as the appended drawings.

Further, accompanying components that are often included in chemical processing operations, such as, for example, air supplies, heat exchangers, surge tanks, catalyst hoppers, or other related systems are not depicted. It would be known that these components are within the spirit and scope of the present embodiments disclosed. However, operational components, such as those described in the present disclosure, may be added to the embodiments described in this disclosure. 
     It should further be noted that arrows in the drawings refer to process streams. However, the arrows may equivalently refer to transfer lines that may serve to transfer process steams between two or more system components. Additionally, arrows that connect to system components define inlets or outlets in each given system component. The arrow direction corresponds generally with the major direction of movement of the materials of the stream contained within the physical transfer line signified by the arrow. Furthermore, arrows that do not connect two or more system components signify a product stream which exits the depicted system or a system inlet stream which enters the depicted system. Product streams may be further processed in accompanying chemical processing systems or may be commercialized as end products. System inlet streams may be streams transferred from accompanying chemical processing systems or may be non-processed feedstock streams. Some arrows may represent recycle streams, which are effluent streams of system components that are recycled back into the system. However, it should be understood that any represented recycle stream, in some embodiments, may be replaced by a system inlet stream of the same material, and that a portion of a recycle stream may exit the system as a system product. 
     Additionally, arrows in the drawings may schematically depict process steps of transporting a stream from one system component to another system component. For example, an arrow from one system component pointing to another system component may represent “passing” a system component effluent to another system component, which may include the contents of a process stream “exiting” or being “removed” from one system component and “introducing” the contents of that product stream to another system component. 
     It should be understood that two or more process streams are “mixed” or “combined” when two or more lines intersect in the schematic flow diagrams of  FIGS. 1-5 . Mixing or combining may also include mixing by directly introducing both streams into a like reactor, separation device, or other system component. For example, it should be understood that when two streams are depicted as being combined directly prior to entering a separation unit or reactor, that in some embodiments the streams could equivalently be introduced into the separation unit or reactor and be mixed in the reactor. 
     Reference will now be made in greater detail to various embodiments of the present disclosure, some embodiments of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Whenever possible, the same reference numerals will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or similar parts. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The present disclosure is directed to cyclization and fluid catalytic cracking processes for upgrading naphtha. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to processes comprising separating a naphtha feed into at least a light naphtha fraction, contacting the light naphtha fraction with hydrogen in the presence of at least one cyclization catalyst to produce a cyclization effluent, and contacting the cyclization effluent with at least one cracking catalyst under conditions sufficient crack at least a portion of the cyclization effluent to produce a fluid catalytic cracking effluent. The present disclosure is also directed to cyclization and fluid catalytic cracking systems for upgrading naphtha. In particular, the systems may comprise a naphtha separation unit, a cyclization unit disposed downstream of the naphtha separation unit, and a fluid catalytic cracking unit disposed downstream of the cyclization unit. 
     The various cyclization and fluid catalytic cracking processes and systems of the present disclosure for upgrading naphtha may provide increased efficiency for the upgrading of naphtha compared to conventional processes and systems of upgrading naphtha. That is, the various cyclization and fluid catalytic cracking processes and systems for upgrading naphtha may increase the conversion of a naphtha feed, including a light naphtha portion, and may increase the yield of greater value products and intermediates, such as light olefins (ethylene, propylene, butenes, or combinations of these) and gasoline blending components, among other features. 
     As used in this disclosure, a “catalyst” may refer to any substance that increases the rate of a specific chemical reaction. Catalysts and catalyst components described in this disclosure may be utilized to promote various reactions, such as, but not limited to cracking, aromatic cracking, or combinations of these. 
     As used in this disclosure, “cracking” may refer to a chemical reaction where a molecule having carbon-carbon bonds is broken into more than one molecule by the breaking of one or more of the carbon-carbon bonds; where a compound including a cyclic moiety, such as an aromatic, is converted to a compound that does not include a cyclic moiety; or where a molecule having carbon-carbon double bonds are reduced to carbon-carbon single bonds. Some catalysts may have multiple forms of catalytic activity, and calling a catalyst by one particular function does not render that catalyst incapable of being catalytically active for other functionality. 
     As used throughout the present disclosure, the term “light olefins” may refer to one or more of ethylene, propylene, butenes, or combinations of these. 
     As used throughout the present disclosure, the term “butene” or “butenes” may refer to one or more than one isomer of butene, such as one or more of 1-butene, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, isobutene, or mixtures of these isomers. As used throughout the present disclosure, the term “normal butenes” may refer to one or more than one of 1-butene, trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, or mixtures of these isomers, and does not include isobutene. As used throughout the present disclosure, the term “2-butene” may refer to trans-2-butene, cis-2-butene, or a mixture of these two isomers. 
     As used throughout the present disclosure, the term “crude oil” or “whole crude oil” may refer to crude oil received directly from an oil field or from a desalting unit without having any fraction separated by distillation. 
     As used throughout the present disclosure, the terms “upstream” and “downstream” may refer to the relative positioning of unit operations with respect to the direction of flow of the process streams. A first unit operation of a system may be considered “upstream” of a second unit operation if process streams flowing through the system encounter the first unit operation before encountering the second unit operation. Likewise, a second unit operation may be considered “downstream” of the first unit operation if the process streams flowing through the system encounter the first unit operation before encountering the second unit operation. 
     As used in the present disclosure, passing a stream or effluent from one unit “directly” to another unit may refer to passing the stream or effluent from the first unit to the second unit without passing the stream or effluent through an intervening reaction system or separation system that substantially changes the composition of the stream or effluent. Heat transfer devices, such as heat exchangers, preheaters, coolers, condensers, or other heat transfer equipment, and pressure devices, such as pumps, pressure regulators, compressors, or other pressure devices, are not considered to be intervening systems that change the composition of a stream or effluent. Combining two streams or effluents together also is not considered to comprise an intervening system that changes the composition of one or both of the streams or effluents being combined. Simply dividing a stream into two streams having the same composition is also not considered to comprise an intervening system that changes the composition of the stream. 
     As used in this disclosure, a “separation unit” refers to any separation device that at least partially separates one or more chemicals that are mixed in a process stream from one another. For example, a separation unit may selectively separate differing chemical species from one another, forming one or more chemical fractions. Examples of separation units include, without limitation, distillation columns, flash drums, knock-out drums, knock-out pots, centrifuges, filtration devices, traps, scrubbers, expansion devices, membranes, solvent extraction devices, and the like. It should be understood that separation processes described in this disclosure may not completely separate all of one chemical consistent from all of another chemical constituent. It should be understood that the separation processes described in this disclosure “at least partially” separate different chemical components from one another, and that even if not explicitly stated, it should be understood that separation may include only partial separation. As used in this disclosure, one or more chemical constituents may be “separated” from a process stream to form a new process stream. Generally, a process stream may enter a separation unit and be divided or separated into two or more process streams of desired composition. Further, in some separation processes, a “light fraction” and a “heavy fraction” may separately exit the separation unit. In general, the light fraction stream has a lesser boiling point than the heavy fraction stream. It should be additionally understood that where only one separation unit is depicted in a figure or described, two or more separation units may be employed to carry out the identical or substantially identical separation. For example, where a distillation column with multiple outlets is described, it is contemplated that several separators arranged in series may equally separate the feed stream and such embodiments are within the scope of the presently described embodiments. 
     As used in this disclosure, the term “effluent” may refer to a stream that is passed out of a reactor, a reaction zone, or a separation unit following a particular reaction or separation. Generally, an effluent has a different composition than the stream that entered the separation unit, reactor, or reaction zone. It should be understood that when an effluent is passed to another system unit, only a portion of that system stream may be passed. For example, a slip stream (having the same composition) may carry some of the effluent away, meaning that only a portion of the effluent may enter the downstream system unit. The term “reaction effluent” may more particularly be used to refer to a stream that is passed out of a reactor or reaction zone. 
     It should further be understood that streams may be named for the components of the stream, and the component for which the stream is named may be the major component of the stream (such as comprising from 50 weight percent (wt. %), from 70 wt. %, from 90 wt. %, from 95 wt. %, from 99 wt. %, from 99.5 wt. %, or even from 99.9 wt. % of the contents of the stream to 100 wt. % of the contents of the stream). It should also be understood that components of a stream are disclosed as passing from one system component to another when a stream comprising that component is disclosed as passing from that system component to another. For example, a disclosed “hydrogen stream” passing to a first system component or from a first system component to a second system component should be understood to equivalently disclose “hydrogen” passing to the first system component or passing from a first system component to a second system component. 
     Referring now to  FIG. 1 , the systems  100  for separating and upgrading a naphtha feed  2  may include a naphtha separation unit  20 , a cyclization unit  30  downstream of the naphtha separation unit  20 , and an FCC unit  40  downstream of the cyclization unit  30 .

In some embodiments, depending on the naphtha feed  2 , passing the naphtha feed  2  to a naphtha separation unit  20  may be optional, such as when the naphtha feed  2  comprises greater than 60%, greater than 70%, greater than 80%, or even greater than 90% by weight of constituents having boiling point temperatures less than or equal to 75° C. 
     The light naphtha fraction  22  may comprise C 5 -C 6  hydrocarbons, such as C 5 -C 6  paraffins.

The one or more metals from Groups 6-10 of the IUPAC periodic table may be an active phase metal disposed at the surfaces of the catalyst support material. The active phase metal may be deposited on the surfaces of the catalyst support material or incorporated into the catalyst support material, such as incorporated into the matrix formed from the binder and zeolite components. The one or more metals from Groups 6-10 of the IUPAC periodic table may be an active phase metal selected from the group consisting of, for example, iron, cobalt, nickel, rhodium, palladium, silver, iridium, platinum, gold, molybdenum, tungsten and combinations thereof. In embodiments, the cyclization catalyst  35  may include platinum as the active phase metal supported on the catalyst support material. The IUPAC Group 6-10 metals can be present in the cyclization catalyst  35  in an amount ranging from 0.01 to 40 percent by weight of the cyclization catalyst  35 . The cyclization catalyst  35  may include from 0.01 wt. % to 40 wt. % iron, cobalt, nickel, rhodium, palladium, silver, iridium, platinum, gold, molybdenum, tungsten, or combinations thereof.

     The cyclization unit  30  may contact the light naphtha fraction  22  with hydrogen  26  in the presence of the cyclization catalyst  35  at operating conditions sufficient to cause at least a portion of the hydrocarbons in the light naphtha fraction  22  to undergo cyclization to produce the cyclization effluent  32 , where the cyclization effluent  32  comprises naphthenes. The cyclization unit  30  may be operated at an operating temperature in the range of from 350° C. to 550° C., such as from 400° C. to 550° C. or from 450° C. to 550° C., and an operating pressure of from 1 MPa (10 bar) to 4 MPa (40 bar), such as from 1 MPa (10 bar) to 3 MPa (30 bar) or from 1 MPa (10 bar) to 2 MPa (20 bar).

     Contacting the light naphtha fraction  22  with hydrogen  26  in the presence of the cyclization catalyst  35  at the operating conditions of the cyclization unit  30  may cause at least a portion of paraffinic compounds in the light naphtha fraction  22  to undergo cyclization reactions to form naphthenes. The cyclization unit  30  may be in fluid communication with the FCC unit  40  to pass the cyclization effluent  32  from the cyclization unit  30  to FCC unit  40 . 
     Referring again to  FIG. 1 , the system  100  may include the FCC unit  40 , as previously discussed. The FCC unit  40  may include the FCC reactor  44  and the catalyst regeneration unit  46 . The FCC unit  40  may be disposed downstream of the cyclization unit  30 . The FCC unit  40  may be in fluid communication with the cyclization unit  30  and may receive the cyclization effluent  32  from the cyclization unit  30 . The cyclization effluent  32  may be passed directly from the cyclization unit  30  to the FCC unit  40  without passing through any intervening reactor or separation system. As used in the present disclosure in the context of  FIG. 1 , the FCC unit  40  generally refers to a reactor (the FCC reactor  44  of the FCC unit  40 ) in which a major process reaction takes place, such as the upgrading of a hydrocarbon feed to form light olefins. 
     In embodiments, a supplemental FCC feed  34  may also be passed to the FCC unit  40 . That is, the cyclization effluent  32  and the supplemental FCC feed  34  may both be passed to the FCC unit  40  and contacted with at least one cracking catalyst to produce the FCC effluent  42 . The supplemental FCC feed  34  may be combined with the cyclization effluent  32  upstream of the FCC unit  40 . Alternatively, the supplemental FCC feed  34  may be passed separately to the FCC unit  40  and combined with the cyclization effluent  32  within the FCC reactor  44  of the FCC unit  40 . 
     The supplemental FCC feed  34  may include one or more of crude oil, synthetic crude oil, bitumen, oil sand, shale oil, coal liquid, naphtha, diesel, vacuum gas oil, vacuum residue, de-metalized oil, de-asphalted oil, coker gas oil, cycle oil, gas oil, or combinations of these. The supplemental FCC feed  34  may be derived from one or more of crude oil, synthetic crude oil, bitumen, oil sand, shale oil, coal liquid, naphtha, diesel, vacuum gas oil, vacuum residue, de-metalized oil, de-asphalted oil, coker gas oil, cycle oil, gas oil, or combinations of these. The supplemental FCC feed  34  may have an atmospheric boiling point range greater than or equal to 350° C. As used through the present disclosure, “atmospheric boiling point range” may refer to the temperature interval from the initial boiling point to a final boiling point at atmospheric pressure, where the initial boiling point refers to the temperature at which the first drop of distillation product is obtained and the final boiling point refers to the temperature at which the highest-boiling point compounds evaporate. The supplemental FCC feed  34  may comprise a hydrocracking recycle stream or unconverted bottoms stream from a hydrocracking unit. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 3 and 4 , two embodiments of FCC units are schematically depicted.  FIG. 3  shows a more detailed view of the FCC unit  40  of  FIGS. 1-2 .  FIG. 4  shows an alternative FCC unit  400  that may be substituted for the FCC unit  40  of  FIGS. 1-2 . The FCC units schematically depicted in  FIGS. 3 and 4  are provided as two options for conducting fluidized catalytic cracking. However, any FCC unit configuration may be used and the FCC unit of the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the configurations shown in  FIGS. 3 and 4 . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 , one embodiment of an FCC unit  40  that may be suitable for use with for the methods of upgrading a hydrocarbon feed described in the present disclosure is schematically depicted. Again, it should be understood that other reactor system configurations, such as those explained below, may be suitable for the methods described in the present disclosure. The FCC unit  40  may generally comprise multiple components, such as an FCC reactor  44  and a catalyst regeneration unit  46 . As used in the present disclosure in the context of  FIG. 4 , the FCC reactor  44  generally refers to a unit of the FCC unit  40  in which the major process reaction takes place, such as the upgrading of a hydrocarbon feed to form light olefins through contact with a cracking catalyst. The FCC reactor  44  may include a reaction zone  442 , a separation zone  444 , and a stripper zone  446 . As used in the context of  FIG. 4 , the FCC unit  40  may also include the catalyst regeneration unit  46  comprising at least one regeneration zone  462  for regenerating spent catalyst. 
     A hydrocarbon feed  411 , such as the cyclization effluent  32 , the supplemental FCC feed, or a combination of both, may be introduced through a downer portion of the FCC unit  40  to the reaction zone  442  with steam or other suitable gas for atomization of the feed (not shown). An effective amount of heated fresh or regenerated FCC catalyst composition particles from regeneration zone  462  may be conveyed to the top of the reaction zone  442 . The heated fresh or hot regenerated FCC catalyst composition particles from regeneration zone  462  may be conveyed to the top of the reaction zone  442  through a conduit  47 , commonly referred to as a transfer line or standpipe, to a withdrawal or hopper (not shown) at the top of the reaction zone  442 . The flow of hot FCC catalyst composition particles may typically be allowed to stabilize in order to be uniformly directed into the mix zone or feed injection portion of the reaction zone  442 . The hydrocarbon feed  411  may be injected into a mixing zone through feed injection nozzles typically situated proximate to the point of introduction of the regenerated FCC catalyst composition particles into reaction zone  442 . These multiple injection nozzles may result in the FCC catalyst composition particles and hydrocarbon feed  411  mixing thoroughly and uniformly. Once the hydrocarbon feed  411  contacts the hot FCC catalyst composition particles, a catalytic reaction may begin. 
     The reaction vapor of hydrocarbon products may flow through the remainder of the reaction zone  442  and into separation zone  444 . Hydrocarbon products and unreacted hydrocarbons may be directed to various product recovery sections. In embodiments, if necessary for temperature control, a quench injection (not shown) can be provided near the bottom of the reaction zone  442  or immediately before the separation zone  444 . This quench injection may quickly reduce or stop the catalytic reaction. 
     The reaction temperature (which may be equivalent to the outlet temperature of the FCC unit  410 ) may be controlled by opening and closing a catalyst slide valve (not shown) that may control the flow of regenerated FCC catalyst composition particles from the regeneration zone  462  into the top of the reaction zone  442 . 
     The stripper zone  446  may also be present for separating the FCC catalyst composition particles from the hydrocarbon products and unreacted hydrocarbons. The FCC catalyst composition particles from separation zone  444  may pass to the stripper zone  446 . In the stripper zone  446 , a suitable stripping gas, such as steam, may be introduced through streamline  41 . The stripper zone  446  may comprise a plurality of baffles or structured packing (not shown) over which downwardly flowing catalyst particles passes counter-currently to the stripping gas. The upwardly flowing stripping gas may strip or remove any additional hydrocarbons that remain in the catalyst particle pores or between catalyst particles. The stripped or spent FCC catalyst composition particles may be passed from the stripper zone  446  via conduit  43  to the catalyst regeneration unit  46 . The stripped or spent FCC catalyst composition particles may be transported by lift forces from a combustion air stream  45  through a lift riser of the catalyst regeneration unit  46 . The stripped or spent FCC catalyst composition particles may then be contacted with additional combustion air and undergo controlled combustion of any accumulated coke in the regeneration zone  462 . Flue gasses may be removed from the regeneration zone  462  via conduit  49 . In the regenerator, the heat produced from the combustion of any coke by-product may be transferred to the FCC catalyst composition particles, which may increase the temperature required to provide heat to the catalytic reaction in the reaction zone  442 . 
     Referring now to  FIG. 4 , the FCC unit  400  may include a riser portion  412 , a reaction zone  414 , and a separation zone  416 . The FCC unit  400  may also comprise a regeneration zone  462  for regenerating spent catalyst. 
     A hydrocarbon feed  411 , such as the cyclization effluent  32 , supplemental FCC feed  34 , or a combination of both may be introduced to the reaction zone  414  with steam or other suitable gas for atomization of the feed (not shown). The hydrocarbon feed  411  may be admixed and contacted with an effective quantity of heated fresh or regenerated catalyst particles. The heated fresh or regenerated catalyst particles may be conveyed via a conduit  423  from the regeneration zone  462 . The hydrocarbon feed  411  and the cracking catalyst may be contacted and then passed into the reaction zone  414 . In a continuous process, the mixture of the cracking catalyst composition and hydrocarbon feed  411  may proceed upward through the riser portion  412  into reaction zone  414 . In the riser portion  412  and the reaction zone  414 , the hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon feed  411  may be contacted with the cracking catalyst at reaction conditions. Contact of the hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon feed  411  with the cracking catalyst at the reaction conditions may cause at least a portion of the hydrocarbons to react and undergo cracking reactions to form upgraded hydrocarbons, which may include light olefins such as but not limited to ethylene, propylene, butenes, or combinations of these. 
     During the reaction, the cracking catalyst may become coked, which may result in limited or non-existent access to the active catalytic sites of the cracking catalyst. Reaction products may be separated from the coked catalyst particles using any suitable configuration known in the art. This separation may occur in the zone generally referred to as the separation zone  416 , which may be located above the reaction zone  414 . The reaction product may be withdrawn via conduit  42 . Cracking catalyst containing coke deposits from the reaction may be pass through conduit  415  to the regeneration zone  462 . 
     In the regeneration zone  462 , the coked cracking catalyst may come into contact with a stream of oxygen-containing gas, which may enter the regeneration zone  462  via conduit  45 . The regeneration zone  462  may be operated in a configuration under conditions that are known in FCC operations. For instance, the regeneration zone  462  may be operated as a fluidized bed to produce regeneration off-gas comprising combustion products, which may be discharged via conduct  49 . The hot regenerated FCC catalyst composition particles may be transferred from the regeneration zone  462  of the catalyst regeneration unit  46  via conduit  423  to the bottom portion of the riser portion  412  for admixture with the hydrocarbon feed  411  as noted above. 
     The cracking catalyst in the FCC reactor  44  may include any conventional or yet to be developed cracking catalyst. For example, similar to the cyclization catalyst  35 , the cracking catalyst in the FCC reactor  44  of the FCC unit  40  may include a catalyst support material made of an ultra-stable Y-type (USY) zeolite. The USY zeolite may be a framework-substituted zeolite, in which a part of aluminum atoms constituting the zeolite framework are substituted with zirconium atoms, hafnium atoms, or a combination of zirconium atoms and hafnium atoms. The cracking catalyst in the FCC reactor  44  can further include an acidic component being at least one member of the group consisting of amorphous silica-alumina, zeolite, and combinations thereof. For example, the cracking catalyst in the FCC reactor  44  may be a catalyst described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,221,036 B2. In embodiments, the cracking catalyst in the FCC reactor  44  may not include an active phase metal. The acidity of the zeolite alone may be sufficient to promote the cracking reactions. 
     Referring again to  FIG. 1 , the FCC reactor  44  may contact the cyclization effluent  32 , the supplemental FCC feed  34 , or both with the cracking catalyst at operating conditions sufficient to cause at least a portion of the hydrocarbons in the cyclization effluent  32 , the supplemental FCC feed  34 , or both to undergo cracking to produce the FCC effluent  42 . The FCC reactor  44  may be operated at an operating temperature in the range of from 450° C. to 700° C., such as from 550° C. to 700° C. or from 650° C. to 700° C., and an operating pressure of from 0.1 MPa (1 bar) to 1 MPa (10 bar), such as from 0.3 MPa (3 bar) to 1 MPa (10 bar) or from 0.5 MPa (5 bar) to 1 MPa (10 bar). The feed to the FCC reactor  44  may be contacted with the cracking catalyst at operating conditions for a residence time (the total time that the feed spends in contact with the cracking catalyst) from 0.1 seconds to 60 seconds, such as from 10 seconds to 60 seconds or from  30  seconds to 60 seconds. The feed to the FCC reactor  44  may be contacted with the cracking catalyst at a hydrocarbon feed to cracking catalyst mass ratio from 1:2 to 1:30, such as from 1:1 to 1:15, from 1:1 to 1:10, or from 1:8 to 1:20. In embodiments, the FCC unit  40  may operate as a high severity FCC unit  40 . In high-severity operations, the FCC reactor  44  may operate at temperatures of from 600° C. to 700° C., a cracking catalyst to hydrocarbon feed ratio greater than 6:1, and a residence time of less than 3 seconds. 
     Contacting the cyclization effluent  32 , the supplemental FCC feed  34 , or a combination of both with the cracking catalyst at the operating conditions of the FCC reactor  44  may cause at least a portion of light paraffinic compounds in the cyclization effluent  32 , the supplemental FCC feed  34 , or a combination of both to undergo cracking reactions to form the FCC effluent  42 . The FCC effluent  42 , as compared to the cyclization effluent  32 , the supplemental FCC feed  34 , or combinations of both, may comprise increased concentrations of one or more of gasoline, light cycle oil (LCO), heavy cycle oil (HCO), total gas (C 4  and lighter), dry gas (C 2  and lighter), liquefied petroleum gas (C 3 -C 4 ), ethylene, propylene, and butenes. The FCC effluent  42  may comprise gasoline blending components. 
     The FCC reactor  44  may be in fluid communication with the FCC separation unit  60  to pass the FCC effluent  42  from the FCC reactor  44  to FCC separation unit  60 . The FCC separation unit  60  may be disposed downstream of the FCC reactor  44  of the FCC unit  40 . The FCC separation unit  60  may be in fluid communication with the FCC reactor  44  of the FCC unit  40  and may receive all or at least a portion of the FCC effluent  42 . The FCC separation unit  60  may include one or a plurality of separation units. The FCC separation unit  60  may be operable to separate the FCC effluent  42  into at least one light gas fraction  62 , a light naphtha recycle fraction  64 , an aromatic containing effluent  66 , and a light olefin fraction  68 . The FCC separation unit  60  may be operable to separate the FCC effluent  42  by distillation into at least the light gas fraction  62 , the light naphtha recycle fraction  64 , the aromatic containing effluent  66 , and the light olefin fraction  68 . In embodiments, the FCC separation unit  60  may include one or a plurality of distillation columns. 
     The light gas fraction  62  may comprise hydrogen, methane, and any other light gases. The light gas fraction  62  may include at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or even at least 99% of the light gases from the FCC effluent  42 . 
     The light olefin fraction  68  may comprise C 2 -C 4  olefins, such as ethylene, propene, butene, or combinations of these. The light olefin fraction  68  may include at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or even at least 99% of the ethylene, propene, and butene of the FCC effluent  42 . 
     The light naphtha recycle fraction  64  may comprise may comprise C 5 -C 6  hydrocarbons, such as C 5 -C 6  paraffins that were not upgraded in the FCC unit  40 . The light naphtha recycle fraction  64  may include at least at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or at least 99% by weight of the C 5 -C 6  hydrocarbons from the FCC effluent  42 . The light naphtha recycle fraction  64  may include at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or even at least 99% of the constituents of the FCC effluent  42  having boiling point temperatures ranging from 30° C. to 90° C. The light naphtha recycle fraction  64  may be passed back to the FCC unit  40  and processed again in the FCC unit  40 . The light naphtha recycle fraction  64  may be combined with the cyclization effluent  32  upstream of the FCC unit  40 . Alternatively, the light naphtha recycle fraction  64  may be passed to the FCC unit  40 , either directly or with intermediate process steps. For example, a portion of the light naphtha recycle fraction  65  may be purged prior to the light naphtha recycle fraction  64  being combined with the cyclization effluent  32  or being passed to the FCC unit  40 . 
     The aromatic containing effluent  66  may comprise may comprise C 7+  hydrocarbons. The aromatic containing effluent  66  may include at least at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or at least 99% by weight of the C 7+  hydrocarbons from the FCC effluent  42 . The aromatic containing effluent  66  may include at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98%, or even at least 99% of the constituents of the FCC effluent  42  having boiling point temperatures ranging greater than 90° C. The aromatic containing effluent  66  may comprise the remaining portion of the FCC effluent  42  not encompassed by the light gas fraction  62 , the light naphtha recycle fraction  64 , and the light olefin fraction  68 . The aromatic containing effluent  66  may be passed to the aromatic recovery complex  70  for further processing or to the gasoline pool  80 , which are described in greater detail below. 
     Referring again to  FIG. 1 , the heavy naphtha fraction  24  may be passed to a naphtha reforming unit  50 . The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be in fluid communication with the naphtha separation unit  20  and may receive the heavy naphtha fraction  24  from the naphtha separation unit  20 . The heavy naphtha fraction  24  may be passed directly from the naphtha separation unit  20  to the naphtha reforming unit  50  without passing through any intervening reactor or separation system. The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be operable reform the heavy naphtha fraction  24  to produce a naphtha reformate  52 . The naphtha reforming unit  50  may also produce a separate hydrogen effluent  54 . The naphtha reforming unit  50  may include a reformed effluent separation system (not shown) that may be operable to separate an effluent from the reforming reactor into the naphtha reformate  52  and the hydrogen effluent  54 . The hydrogen effluent  54  may be recovered or may be recycled back to one or more of the desulfurization unit  10 , the cyclization unit  30 , or both as at least a portion of the hydrogen streams to those units. 
     The heavy naphtha fraction  24  may be passed to the naphtha reforming unit  50  to upgrade the heavy naphtha fraction  24  to improve its quality, such as by increasing the octane number to produce the naphtha reformate  52  that can be used as a gasoline blending stream  53  or feedstock for an aromatic recovery complex  70 . The gasoline pool  80  may include C 4  and heavier hydrocarbons having atmospheric boiling points of less than 205° C. The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be a catalytic reforming process. In catalytic reforming processes, paraffins and naphthenes can be restructured to produce isomerized paraffins and aromatics of relatively higher octane numbers. Catalytic reforming can convert low octane n-paraffins to i-paraffins and naphthenes. Naphthenes can then be converted to higher octane aromatic compounds. The aromatic compounds present in the heavy naphtha fraction  24  can remain unchanged or at least a portion of aromatic compounds from the heavy naphtha fraction  24  may be hydrogenated to form naphthenes by reverse reactions taking place in the presence of hydrogen. The hydrogen may be generated during reforming of other constituents in the reforming unit and may be present in the reaction mixture. 
     The chemical reactions involved in catalytic reforming can be grouped into four categories, which include cracking, dehydrocyclization, dehydrogenation, and isomerization. A particular hydrocarbon molecule of the heavy naphtha fraction  24  may undergo one or more than one category of reaction during the reforming process to form one or a plurality of different molecules or products. 
     The naphtha reforming unit  50  may contact the heavy naphtha fraction  24  with a reforming catalyst under operating conditions sufficient to cause at least a portion of the heavy naphtha fraction  24  to undergo one or more reactions to produce a reforming effluent, which may then be separated into the naphtha reformate  52  and the hydrogen effluent  54 . The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be operated at a temperature of from 400° C. to 560° C., or from 450° C. to 560° C. The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be operated at a pressure of from 100 kilopascals (kPa) to 5,000 kPa (from 1 bar to 50 bar), or from 100 kPa to 2,000 kPa (from 1 bar to 20 bar). The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be operated at a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of from 0.5 per hour (hr −1 ) to 4 h −1 , or from 0.5 h −1  to 2 h −1 . 
     The reforming catalysts for catalytic reforming processes in the naphtha reforming unit  50  can be either mono-functional or bi-functional reforming catalysts, which can contain precious metals, such as one or more metals from Groups 8-10 of the IUPAC periodic table, as active components (Group VIIIB in the Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) system). The metals may be supported on a catalyst support, such as but not limited to an alumina, silica, titania, or combination of these supports. The reforming catalyst can be a bi-functional catalyst that has both metal sites and acidic sites. The reforming catalyst may be a platinum or palladium supported on an alumina support. The composition of the heavy naphtha fraction  24 , the impurities present in the heavy naphtha fraction  24 , and the desired products in the naphtha reformate  52  may influence the selection of reforming catalyst, reforming process type, and operating conditions. Types of chemical reactions can be targeted by a selection of catalyst or operating conditions known to those of ordinary skill in the art to influence both the yield and selectivity of conversion of paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbon precursors to particular aromatic hydrocarbon structures. 
     The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be any one of several types of catalytic reforming process configurations, which differ in the manner in which they regenerate the reforming catalyst to remove the coke formed during the reforming process. Catalyst regeneration, which involves combusting detrimental coke in the presence of oxygen, can include a semi-regenerative process, a cyclic regeneration process, or continuous regeneration process. Semi-regeneration is the simplest configuration, and the entire unit, including all reactors in the series, are shut-down for catalyst regeneration in all reactors. Cyclic configurations utilize an additional “swing” reactor to permit one reactor at a time to be taken off-line for regeneration while the others remain in service. Continuous catalyst regeneration configurations, which are the most complex, provide for continuous operation by catalyst removal, regeneration and replacement. While continuous catalyst regeneration configurations may enable the severity of the operating conditions to be increased due to higher catalyst activity, the associated capital investment is necessarily higher. 
     Referring now to  FIG. 2 , the system  100  for upgrading a naphtha feed  2  may include the desulfurization unit  10  disposed upstream of the naphtha separation unit  20 . The naphtha feed  2  may include small amounts of sulfur compounds depending on the source of the naphtha feed  2 . These sulfur compounds may cause deactivation of catalysts in the cyclization unit  30 , the FCC unit  40 , the naphtha reforming unit  50 , or combinations of these. The desulfurization unit  10  may be operable to remove at a portion of or all of these sulfur compounds, which may reduce deactivation of the catalysts in the system  100 . 
     The naphtha feed  2  may be passed to the desulfurization unit  10  prior the naphtha feed  2  being passed to the naphtha separation unit  20 . The desulfurization unit  10  may be operable to contact at least a portion of the naphtha feed  2  with hydrogen  4  in the presence of a desulfurization catalyst  15  to produce the desulfurized naphtha feed  12 . The hydrogen  4  may include recycled hydrogen, such as a portion of hydrogen effluent  54  from the naphtha reforming unit  50 , a portion of excess hydrogen from the desulfurization unit  10 , or a portion of excess hydrogen recovered from the cyclization unit  30  (either immediately after the cyclization unit  30  or downstream of the FCC unit  40 ) or supplemental hydrogen from an external hydrogen source inside or outside the battery limits of the refinery. The hydrogen  4  may be passed directly to the desulfurization unit  10  or may be combined with the naphtha feed  2  upstream of the desulfurization unit  10 . 
     The desulfurization unit  10  may include may include any type of reactor suitable for contacting the naphtha feed  2  with hydrogen  4  in the presence of the desulfurization catalyst  15 . Suitable reactors may include, but are not limited to, fixed bed reactors, moving bed reactors, fluidized bed reactors, plug flow reactors, other type of reactor, or combinations of reactors. The desulfurization unit  10  may include one or more fixed bed reactors, which may be operated in downflow, upflow, or horizontal flow configurations. 
     The desulfurization catalyst  15  in the desulfurization unit  10  may include a hydrodesulfurization catalyst (HDS catalyst) comprising one or more metals from Group 6 and one metal from Groups 6-10 of the IUPAC periodic table, which may be present as metals, metal oxides, or metal sulfides, supported on the support material. The HDS catalyst may comprise nickel, molybdenum, cobalt, or combinations of these. The HDS catalyst may also contain a dopant that is selected from the group consisting of boron, phosphorus, halogens, silicon, and combinations thereof. 
     The desulfurization unit  10  may contact the naphtha feed  2  with hydrogen  4  in the presence of the desulfurization catalyst  15  at operating conditions sufficient to cause at least a portion of the sulfur components in the naphtha feed  2  to be removed to produce a desulfurized naphtha feed  12 . The desulfurization unit  10  may be operated at an operating temperature in the range of from 200° C. to 400° C., such as from 250° C. to 350° C. or from 275° C. to 325° C., and an operating pressure of from 1 MPa (10 bar) to 5 MPa (50 bar), such as from 1 MPa (10 bar) to 4 MPa (40 bar) or from 1 MPa (120 bar) to 3 MPa (30 bar). The feed rate of hydrogen  4  to the desulfurization unit  10  may be from 50 to 300 standard liters per liter of feed (SLt/Lt) to the desulfurization unit  10 , where the feed can be the naphtha feed  2 . The desulfurization unit  10  may operate at a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of from 1 per hour to 15 per hour, such as from 5 per hour to 15 per hour or from 7 per hour to 12 per hour. 
     Contacting the naphtha feed  2  with hydrogen  4  in the presence of the desulfurization catalyst  15  at the operating conditions of the desulfurization unit  10  may cause at least a portion of sulfur components in the naphtha feed  2  to be removed. The desulfurized naphtha feed  12  may comprise less than 0.5 parts per million by weight (ppmw) of sulfur components. Similarly, contacting the naphtha feed  2  with hydrogen in the presence of the desulfurization catalyst  15  at the operating conditions of the desulfurization unit  10  may cause at least a portion of nitrogen components in the naphtha feed  2  to be removed. The desulfurized naphtha feed  12  may comprise less than 0.5 ppmw of nitrogen components. The desulfurization unit  10  may be in fluid communication with the naphtha separation unit  20  to pass the desulfurized naphtha feed  12  from the desulfurization unit  10  to the naphtha separation unit  20 . The desulfurized naphtha feed  12  may be processed in the naphtha separation unit  20  in the same manner as the naphtha feed  2 , as previously described in relation to  FIG. 1 . 
     The system  100  depicted in  FIG. 2  may also include the naphtha separation unit  20 , the cyclization unit  30 , the FCC unit  40 , the naphtha reforming unit  50 , and the FCC separation unit  60 , as previously discussed in the present disclosure. The naphtha separation unit  20  may be disposed downstream of the desulfurization unit  10  and upstream of the cyclization unit  30  and naphtha reforming unit  50 . The naphtha separation unit  20  may be operable to separate a desulfurized naphtha feed  12  into at least the light naphtha fraction  22  and the heavy naphtha fraction  24 . The naphtha separation unit  20  may have any of the features or operating conditions previously described in the present disclosure for the naphtha separation unit  20 . The cyclization unit  30  may be disposed downstream of the naphtha separation unit  20  and upstream of the FCC unit  40 .

     The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be disposed downstream of the naphtha separation unit  20  and upstream of the aromatic recovery complex  70  and the gasoline pool  80 . The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be operable to reform the heavy naphtha fraction  24  to produce the naphtha reformate  52 . The naphtha reforming unit  50  may have any of the features or operating conditions previously described in the present disclosure for the naphtha reforming unit  50 . 
     The FCC separation unit  60  may be disposed downstream of the FCC reactor  44  of the FCC unit  40  and upstream of the aromatic recovery complex  70  and the gasoline pool  80 . The naphtha reforming unit  50  may be operable to separate the FCC effluent  42  into at least the light gas fraction  62 , the light naphtha recycle fraction  64 , the aromatic containing effluent  66 , and the light olefin fraction  68 . The FCC separation unit  60  may have any of the features or operating conditions previously described in the present disclosure for the FCC separation unit  60 . 
     Referring still to  FIG. 2 , the system  100  may include an aromatic recovery complex  70  disposed downstream of the FCC separation unit  60  and the naphtha reforming unit  50 . The aromatic recovery complex  70  may be in fluid communication with the FCC separation unit  60  and may receive all or at least a portion of the aromatic containing effluent  66  from the FCC separation unit  60 . The aromatic containing effluent  66  may be the gasoline fraction of the FCC effluent  42 , the gasoline fraction comprising constituents of the FCC effluent  42  that may be suitable for use in gasoline blending. The aromatic recovery complex  70  may also be in fluid communication with the naphtha reforming unit  50  and may receive all or at least a portion of the naphtha reformate  52  from the naphtha reforming unit  50 . The aromatic recovery complex  70  may process the aromatic containing effluent  66  and the naphtha reformate  52  to produce at least one aromatic product effluent  72 , a gasoline pool stream  74 , and an aromatic bottoms stream  76 . The aromatic recovery complex  70  may be operable to separate the aromatic containing effluent  66  and the naphtha reformate  52  into the at least one aromatic product effluent  72 , a gasoline pool stream  74 , and the aromatic bottoms stream  76 . The aromatic recovery complex  70  may also be operable to convert one or more aromatic compounds in the aromatic containing effluent  66  and the naphtha reformate  52  to other aromatic compounds, such as xylenes or other gasoline pool components. 
     In the aromatic recovery complex  70 , the aromatic containing effluent  66  and the naphtha reformate  52  may be subjected to several processing steps to recover greater value products, such as xylenes and benzene, and to convert lower value products, such as toluene, into greater value products. For example, the aromatic compounds present in the aromatic containing effluent  66  naphtha reformate  52  can be separated into different fractions by carbon number, such as but not limited to a C 5 -fraction, a C 6  fraction comprising benzene, a C 7  fraction comprising toluene, a C 8  fraction including xylenes, and ethylbenzene, and a C 9+  fraction (aromatic bottoms stream  76  ). The C 8  fraction may be subjected to one or more operations to convert ethylbenzene, ortho-xylene, and meta-xylene to produce greater yield of para-xylene, which is of greater value. Para-xylene can be recovered in high purity from the C 8  fraction by separating the para-xylene from the ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and ethylbenzene using selective adsorption or crystallization. The ortho-xylene and meta-xylene remaining from the para-xylene separation can be isomerized to produce an equilibrium mixture of xylenes. The ethylbenzene can be isomerized into xylenes or can be dealkylated to benzene and ethane. The para-xylene can then be separated from the ortho-xylene and the meta-xylene using adsorption or crystallization, and the para-xylene-depleted-stream can be recycled to extinction to the isomerization unit and then to the para-xylene recovery unit until all of the ortho-xylene and meta-xylene are converted to para-xylene and recovered. 
     Toluene can be recovered as a separate fraction, such as a C 7  fraction, and then can be converted into greater value products, such as but not limited to benzene or xylenes. One toluene conversion process can include the disproportionation of toluene to make benzene and xylenes. Another toluene conversion process can include the hydrodealkylation of toluene to make benzene. Another toluene conversion process can include the transalkylation of toluene to make benzene and xylenes. Both toluene disproportionation and toluene hydrodealkylation can result in the formation of benzene. 
     Referring to  FIG. 5 , an embodiment of the aromatic recovery complex  70  is schematically depicted. The naphtha reformate  52  from the naphtha reforming unit  50  ( FIG. 2 ) and the aromatic containing effluent  66  from the FCC separation unit  60  ( FIG. 2 ) can be passed to a reformate splitter  510  that can separate the naphtha reformate  52  and aromatic containing effluent  66  into two fractions: a light reformate stream  512  comprising C 5 -C 6  hydrocarbons, and a heavy reformate stream  514  comprising C 7+  hydrocarbons. In embodiments, the naphtha reformate  52 , the aromatic containing effluent  66 , or both may be hydrotreated (not shown) prior to being passed to the aromatic recovery complex. Hydrotreating the naphtha reformate  52 , the aromatic containing effluent  66 , or both may remove mono-olefins, diolefins, or both before the naphtha reformate  52 , the aromatic containing effluent  66 , or both are passed to the aromatic recovery complex  70 . The light reformate stream  512  may be passed to a benzene extraction unit  520 , which may extract the benzene as benzene product in benzene stream  524  and recover substantially benzene-free gasoline in raffinate motor gasoline (mogas) stream  522 . The heavy reformate stream  514  may be passed to a splitter  530  which may separate the heavy reformate stream  514  to produce a C 7  mogas stream  532  and a C 8+  hydrocarbon stream  534 . The C +8  hydrocarbon stream  534  may be passed to a clay tower (not shown) to remove olefin compounds from the C 8+  hydrocarbon stream  534 . 
     Still referring to  FIG. 5 , the C 8+  hydrocarbon stream  534  may be passed to a xylene rerun unit  540 , which may separate the C 8+  hydrocarbon stream  534  into a C 8  hydrocarbon stream  544  and the aromatic bottoms stream  76 , which is a C 9+  hydrocarbon stream comprising C 9+  hydrocarbons. C 8  hydrocarbon stream  544  may be passed to a para-xylene recovery unit  550  that may recover para-xylene as para-xylene product stream  554 . The para-xylene recovery unit  550  may also produce a C 7  cut mogas stream  552 , which may be combined with the C 7  cut mogas stream  532  from splitter  530  to produce C 7  cut mogas stream  558  as the at least one aromatic product effluent  72  ( FIG. 2 ). Other xylenes (meta-xylene, ortho-xylene, and any trace para-xylene not passed out of the para-xylene recovery unit  550  in the para-xylene product stream  554 ) may be recovered and passed to a xylene isomerization unit  560  through mixed xylene stream  556 . The xylene isomerization unit  560  may isomerize at least a portion of ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, or both, in the mixed xylene stream  556  to para-xylene. The isomerization effluent  562  may be passed from the xylene isomerization unit  560  to a splitter column  570 , which may separate the isomerization effluent  562  into a splitter top stream  572  and a splitter bottoms stream  574 . The splitter bottoms stream  574  may include the para-xylene produced in the xylene isomerization unit  560  as well as the remaining ortho-xylene and meta-xylene. The splitter bottoms stream  574  may be passed back to the xylene rerun unit  540  so that the xylenes can be separated and passed to the para-xylene recovery unit  550  for further recovery ofpara-xylene. The splitter top stream  572  may be recycled back to reformate splitter  510 . 
     The raffinate mogas stream  522  may be passed out of the aromatic recovery complex  70  as the gasoline pool stream  74  ( FIG. 2 ), which may be passed to the gasoline pool  80  for blending into fuels. The gasoline pool stream  74  comprising the raffinate mogas stream  522  may have less than or equal to 3 volume percent benzene, or less than or equal to 1 volume percent benzene. The aromatic bottoms stream  76  ( FIG. 2 ) passed out of the aromatic recovery complex  70  may include one or more of the benzene stream  524 , the para-xylene product stream  554 , the C 7  cut mogas stream  558 , or combinations of these. The aromatic bottoms stream  76  may include the C 9 +aromatic compounds from the xylene rerun unit  540  of the aromatic recovery complex  70 . The aromatic bottoms stream  76  may include the heavier fraction, such as C 9+  alkylated mono-aromatics, and may be a more complex mixture of compounds including di-aromatics. The aromatic bottoms stream  76  may include C 9+  aromatic compounds having an atmospheric boiling temperature in a range of from 150° C. to 350° C. Since olefins are detrimental in the extraction/adsorption process within the aromatic recovery complex  70 , olefin compounds can be removed using a clay tower or selective hydrogenation. As previously discussed, the C 8+  hydrocarbon stream  534  from the splitter  530  may be passed to a clay tower (not shown) to remove olefin compounds from the C 8+  hydrocarbon stream  534 . Due to the acidic nature of the clays, olefinic aromatics such as styrene can react with other aromatic molecule via an alkylation reaction to form bridged di-aromatic molecules. These di-aromatic molecules can end up in the aromatic bottoms stream  76 . 
     Referring again to  FIG. 2 , the system  100  may include a gasoline pool  80  disposed downstream of the naphtha reformate unit  50  and the FCC separation unit  60 . All or a portion of the naphtha reformate  52  may be passed to the gasoline pool  80  via stream  53  for inclusion into various fuel products. Additionally or alternatively, all or a portion of the aromatic containing effluent  66  may be passed to the gasoline pool  80  via stream  67  for inclusion into various fuel products. Additionally or alternatively, all or a portion of the gasoline pool stream  74  from the aromatic recovery complex  70  may be passed to the gasoline pool  80  for inclusion into various fuel products. The gasoline effluent may comprise an octane number greater than  100 .

The FCC unit  40  may have any of the features, catalysts, or operating conditions previously discussed in this disclosure for the FCC unit  40 . The FCC effluent  42  comprises light olefins, gasoline blending components, or both. 
     The process for separating and upgrading the naphtha feed  2  may further include passing the naphtha feed  2  to the desulfurization unit  10  that contacts the naphtha feed  2  with hydrogen  4  in the presence of the desulfurization catalyst  15 .

     As compared with Table 1, Table 2 shows that the FCC unit effluent comprises an increased amount olefins. Table 2 also shows the almost 41 wt. % gasoline fraction. Table 2 also shows a 1.34 wt. % coke yield. The coke may be burned off within the FCC unit when the catalyst is regenerated. 
     Example 4: Reforming of Heavy Naphtha Fraction 
     A heavy naphtha fraction, which is separated from the light naphtha fraction, after the naphtha feed is desulfurized (Example 1), was processed over a reforming catalyst. The heavy naphtha fraction was contacted with the reforming catalyst in the naphtha reforming unit at a temperature of 540° C., a pressure of 0.8 MPa (8 bar), a molar ratio of hydrogen to heavy naphtha fraction feed of 7, and LHSV of 1 h −1 . Tables 3 and 4, shown below, summarize the composition and yield, respectively, of the naphtha reformate produced in the naphtha reforming unit.

     Comparative Example 1: Isomerization Unit Instead of Cyclization Unit 
     In Comparative Example 1, each of Examples 1-4 was reproduced, except that in Example 2, the light naphtha fraction was processed in an isomerization unit instead of a cyclization unit and FCC unit. A light naphtha fraction was processed in an isomerization unit over an isomerization catalyst to form an isomerization effluent. The isomerization catalyst was chlorinated platinum supported on an alumina catalyst. The light naphtha fraction was contacted with the isomerization catalyst at a temperature of 135° C., a hydrogen partial pressure of 3.5 MPa (35 bar), a molar ratio of hydrogen to light naphtha fraction of 1:10, and a LHSV of 1.8 h −1 . Table 5, shown below, summarizes the composition of both the light naphtha fraction and the isomerization effluent.

     Example 5: Material Balance of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 
     Table 6, shown below, sets forth a material balance of two different processes, the first corresponding to Examples 1-4, where the light naphtha fraction is processed in the cyclization unit prior to being passed to the FCC unit, and the second corresponding to Comparative Example 1, where the light naphtha fraction is instead processed in the isomerization unit prior to the FCC unit. The two different processes are considered within a  400  thousand barrel per day (MBPD) Arab light crude oil refinery. Table 6 also includes research octane numbers of various streams depicted in  FIG. 2 . In Table 6, it is assumed that all of the aromatic containing effluent  66  from the FCC unit  40  and all of the naphtha reformate  52  is passed to the gasoline pool.
