The present invention relates to a process for converting a feed comprising C5-C12 hydrocarbons to higher BTX, LPG and methane in the presence of hydrogen in n reaction zones operated in series, wherein m reaction zones are not participating in the conversion process and only (nm) reaction zones are operated under reaction conditions sufficient to convert at least a portion of said a feed comprising C5-C12 hydrocarbons to an effluent having said BTX. An object of the present invention is to provide a process for converting C5-C12 hydrocarbons to LPG, optionally BTX, and methane in the presence of hydrogen wherein coke formation on the catalyst is controlled and the physical movement of particulate catalyst is avoided.

A method of controlling the supply and allocation of hydrogen gas in a hydrogen system of a refinery integrated with olefins and aromatics plants to convert crude oil into petrochemicals. The method includes one or more supply sources that provide hydrogen at individual rates, purities, pressures and costs, multiple consumption sites that consume hydrogen at individual rates, purities and pressures and an interconnecting hydrogen distribution network. The method further includes the integration of hydrogen consuming process units with hydrogen producing process units in which hydrogen recovered from the effluents from the hydrogen consuming process units and hydrogen recovered from the hydrogen producing process units are re-used in the hydrogen consuming process units.
