Improved processes for production of gasoline with 95 RONC including a C.sub.5-C.sub.6 isomerization zone, two C.sub.7 isomerization zones, and a reforming zone are described. The first and second C.sub.7 isomerization zones share a common stabilizer which strips off the chlorides and removes the light ends. The capital and operating costs of the processes are reduced through the elimination of one of the stabilizer columns and the associated condenser, receiver, trim cooler, and reboiler. The processes improve the RONC of the C.sub.7 isomerization product because unconverted methylcyclohexane is recycled back to the second C.sub.7 isomerization zone to be converted into dimethylcyclopentane.

Device and process for converting a feedstock of aromatic compounds, in which the feedstock is notably treated using a fractionation train (4-7), a xylenes separating unit (10) and an isomerization unit (11), and in which a pyrolysis unit (13) treats a second hydrocarbon-based feedstock, produces a pyrolysis effluent feeding the feedstock, and produces a pyrolysis gas comprising CO, CO2 and H2; a WGS water gas shift reaction section (50) suitable for treating the pyrolysis gas and for producing a WGS gas enriched in CO2 and in hydrogen; a CO2 aromatization reaction section (52) suitable for: at least partly treating the WGS gas to produce a hydrocarbon effluent comprising aromatic compounds, and feeding the feedstock with the hydrocarbon effluent.

A process and a system for reforming and upgrading a heavy naphtha feedstock may include dehydrogenating naphthenes in the heavy naphtha feedstock to form a first effluent stream comprising aromatics and then separating the aromatics via extraction from the produced first effluent stream to produce a second effluent stream containing raffinate paraffins. The process may then include subjecting the second effluent stream to cyclization reactions to produce a third effluent stream comprising aromatics and then combining the first effluent stream and the third effluent stream prior to extraction.

An integrated process for maximizing recovery of aromatics is provided. The process comprises passing at least a portion of a xylene column bottoms stream to a heavy aromatics column to provide a heavy aromatics column bottoms stream comprising C.sub.9+ aromatics and a heavy aromatics column overhead stream. The heavy aromatics column bottoms stream is passed to a second stage hydrocracking reactor of a two-stage hydrocracking reactor. In the second stage hydrocracking reactor, the heavy aromatics column bottoms stream is hydrocracked in the presence of a hydrocracking catalyst and hydrogen to provide a hydrocracked effluent stream.
