Embodiments include processes and systems for maximizing the production of benzene and para-xylene from heavy reformate. Embodiments include a C9 dealkylation reactor, a transalkylation reactor, and a C10+ dealkylation reactor. The process and system for producing benzene and para-xylene may be configured to additionally produce alkanes in the presence of hydrogen or olefins in the absence of hydrogen. Embodiments may include an aromatic extraction unit to separate non-aromatics from aromatics.
