step.
The dehydrogenation reaction is highly endothermic.
Therefore, during the dehydrogenation step the temperature
at the top of the catalyst bed decreases by as much as 100 C.
This decrease in temperature causes a decrease in para?in
conversion.
In order to reheat the catalyst bed and remove coke that has
