    [0001] The present invention relates to the field of hydrocarbon conversion and more particularly that of catalytic reforming. The subject of the invention is a catalyst regeneration reactor (or regenerator), a catalytic reforming unit using a regenerator according to the invention and also a catalytic reforming process. STATE OF THE ART The reforming (or catalytic reforming) of hydrocarbon cuts of the naphtha type is well known in the field of refining. This reaction produces high octane fuel bases and / or aromatic cuts for petrochemicals from these hydrocarbon cuts while providing the refinery with the necessary hydrogen for other operations. The catalytic reforming process involves contacting the hydrocarbon fraction containing paraffinic compounds and naphthenes with hydrogen and a reforming catalyst, for example platinum, and converting paraffinic compounds and naphthenes to aromatic compounds. with an associated production of hydrogen. Since the reactions involved in the reforming process (isomerization, dehydrogenation and dehydrocyclization reactions) are endothermic, it is necessary to heat the effluent withdrawn from a reactor before sending it to the next reactor. Over time, the reforming catalyst deactivates due to the deposition of coke on its active sites. Therefore, in order to maintain an acceptable productivity of the reforming unit, it is necessary to regenerate the catalyst in order to eliminate the deposit and thus restore its activity.
    [0002] There are various types of reforming processes. The first type relates to so-called "non-regenerative" processes, the catalyst remains in service for long periods but its activity decreases over time, which makes it necessary to raise the temperature of the reactors progressively thus to have a variable selectivity during the operating cycle . The reactors are necessarily all turned off, which completely interrupts the production of the refinery, in order to regenerate the catalyst before a production cycle. According to another so-called "semi-regenerative" catalytic reforming process, the catalyst is regenerated frequently in the case where several reactors are used which contain the catalyst in a fixed bed. One of the reactors is in regeneration while the other reactors are in service; it then replaces one of the reactors in service when the catalyst thereof has to be regenerated, and in this way all the reactors are alternately turned off for regeneration and then again in service without the unit is not interrupted. Finally, there is the "continuous catalyst regeneration" (CCR) reforming process, which implies that the reaction is carried out in a reactor in which the catalyst continuously flows from high to high. Low and the regeneration is continuous in an auxiliary reactor, the catalyst being recycled in the main reactor so as not to interrupt the reaction. Reference can be made to FR 2160269 which discloses a catalytic reforming process with continuous regeneration of the catalyst involving several reactors with moving radial beds 10 in series and a dedicated regenerator. According to the method FR 2160269, the hydrocarbon fraction in mixture with hydrogen is treated successively in each of the reactors in series while the catalyst passes continuously in all the reactors. The catalyst recovered at the outlet of the final reactor is sent regeneratively into the regenerator, at the outlet of which the regenerated catalyst is gradually reintroduced into the first reforming reactor. US 7,985,381 discloses in detail a reforming catalyst regeneration reactor having a combustion zone, an oxychlorination zone, and a calcination zone. The catalyst flows in a downward vertical direction in the regenerator. It passes from the oxychlorination zone to the calcination zone via an annular ring. A calcination gas injected at the bottom of the calcining zone crosses the catalyst bed countercurrently into the calcination zone and is then recovered in a second annular zone situated at the periphery of the reactor. In this second annular zone, the oxychlorination gas is injected to be mixed with the calcination gas which has been recovered so that the mixture then passes through this oxychlorination zone. Other technological solutions exist for injecting the oxychlorination gas into the reactor 25 other than via external baffles or a multipoint distributor, among which may be mentioned the tray type solution described in the document FR2992874 and the mixing box type solution disclosed in the document FR2993794. The reforming processes of the prior art generally employ a single type of catalyst to convert to aromatics. According to the progress of the reforming reaction, the predominant reactions are not the same; the dehydrogenation reactions of naphthenes in aromatics take place rather in the first reaction zones whereas the dehydrocyclization reactions of paraffins in aromatics and of hydrocracking take place mainly in the last reaction zones. In parallel, the amount of coke on the surface of the catalyst increases mainly in the last reaction zones.
    [0003] It thus appears that "continuous catalyst regeneration" reforming processes using a single type of catalyst to carry out all the required catalytic reactions are perfectible in terms of efficiency and thus from the point of view of conversion efficiency.
    [0004] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is to provide a regenerator capable of simultaneously and separately treating at least two different types of reforming catalyst. The regenerator 10 according to the invention can thus be used in a catalytic reforming continuous catalyst regeneration unit employing at least two different types of catalysts which are adapted to carry out specific catalytic reactions depending on the progress of the conversion. . Thus, the present invention relates to a moving bed catalyst regenerator comprising an enclosure extending in a vertical direction, said enclosure being divided into at least two regeneration zones extending along the vertical height of said enclosure. In each of said regeneration zones gravity circulates catalyst particles. The regenerator is configured so that each regeneration zone is able to separately regenerate a catalyst of different composition and in which each regeneration zone comprises successively and in the following order of circulation of the catalyst: a combustion section; an oxychlorination section disposed beneath the combustion section and having means for feeding combustion section catalyst into the oxychlorination section; and - a calcination section disposed under the oxychlorination section. The regenerator according to the invention thus makes it possible to pool the treatment of at least two different types of catalyst which are adapted to specifically carry out reactions involved in the catalytic conversion of naphtha cuts into aromatics. The regenerator according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to treat the catalysts under specific conditions for each type of catalyst, for example with different catalyst flow rates or different gas flow rates or with different gas compositions. .
    [0005] The regenerator according to the invention can be adapted so as to be able to regenerate more than two catalysts of different composition, for example three or four catalysts of different composition. The term "composition" is understood to mean the elements which constitute the catalyst namely, the support and the active metal phase.
    [0006] According to one embodiment, each of the combustion sections comprises an annular space delimited by two gas-permeable and catalyst-tight screens in which the catalyst flows in a gravitational manner. Alternatively, each of the combustion sections is formed by a portion of an annular space, the annular space being delimited by two gas-permeable and catalyst-impervious sieves and divided into portions by means of catalyst-tight separation means and possibly also gastight, said portions being able respectively to contain catalyst of different composition. For example, the sieves are chosen from a grid and a perforated plate.
    [0007] According to a preferred embodiment, each oxychlorination section is obtained by partitioning an area of the compartment enclosure by a catalyst-tight separation means. According to a preferred embodiment, the separation means is further gas-tight.
    [0008] Preferably, each calcination section is obtained by partitioning an area of the compartment enclosure by a catalyst-tight separation means. According to a preferred embodiment, the separation means is further gas-tight.
    [0009] According to an advantageous embodiment, the oxychlorination section is separated from the calcining section by a mixing section configured to effect the mixing of an oxychlorination gas with a calcination gas. Another object of the invention is to provide a catalytic reforming unit and a reforming process which are optimized both from the point of view of the use of catalysts and the costs of implementation. Thus, the subject of the invention is a catalytic reforming continuous catalyst regeneration unit comprising: at least one first reaction zone and at least one second reaction zone, the first and second reaction zones containing at least one first bed respectively; mobile of a first catalyst and at least a second moving bed of a second catalyst whose composition is different from that of the first catalyst; a regenerator according to the invention capable of simultaneously and separately regenerating the first and second catalysts; means for transferring the effluent from the first reaction zone into the second reaction zone; means for feeding the first catalyst of the first reaction zone into the regenerator; Means for supplying the second catalyst of the second reaction zone to the regenerator; means for transferring the first regenerated catalyst from the regenerator into the first reaction zone; means for transferring the second regenerated catalyst from the regenerator into the second reaction zone. According to one embodiment, the first and second reaction zones are arranged in a vertical stack in a reactor.
    [0010] Alternatively, the first and second reaction zones are respectively arranged in at least one first reactor and at least one second reactor which are arranged side by side. Preferably, the moving catalyst beds of the first and second reaction zones are contained in an annular space delimited by two spaced cylindrical grids, said grids being gas-permeable and gas-tight to the catalysts. The invention also relates to a process for the catalytic reforming of a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising the following steps: a) treating the hydrocarbon feedstock in the presence of hydrogen in at least a first reaction zone comprising at least one moving bed comprising a first catalyst; b) continuously and separately withdrawing an effluent and the first catalyst of the first reaction zone; C) the effluent from the first reaction zone is treated in the presence of hydrogen in at least a second reaction zone comprising at least one moving bed comprising a second catalyst of different composition from that of the first catalyst; D) continuously and separately withdrawing a converted hydrocarbon effluent and the second catalyst from the second reaction zone; e) sending the first and second catalysts into a regenerator according to the invention and regenerating said catalysts; f) separately returning the first and second regenerated catalysts to the respective first and second reaction zones. Preferably, the flow of the feedstock, effluents, first and second catalysts in the moving beds are co-current in a downward direction. Preferably, the moving beds are of the "radial" type.
    [0011] According to one embodiment, the first and second reaction zones are arranged in a vertical configuration in a reactor with the first reaction zone which is located above the second reaction zone. Alternatively, the first and second reaction zones are arranged side by side in at least one first reactor and at least one second reactor, respectively. In the context of the invention, the process may comprise more than two reaction sections each operating with catalysts of different composition. For example, the process may employ three or four reaction sections in series.
    [0012] It is, of course, possible to employ one or more moving catalyst beds per reaction section. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Other features and advantages of the invention will be better understood on reading the description given below with reference to the drawings, in which: FIG. 1 represents a sectional view along a vertical plane of a catalyst regenerator according to the invention; Figure 2 is a sectional view along a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of the regenerator 35 of Figure 1 in the combustion zone; Figure 3 is a sectional view in a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of a regenerator according to another embodiment in the combustion zone; Figure 4 is a sectional view along a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of a regenerator in the combustion zone according to an alternative embodiment; Figure 5 is a perspective view of the oxychlorination and calcination zones of a regenerator according to the invention; Fig. 6 is a simplified block diagram of the method according to the invention. In FIG. 1, the catalyst regeneration reactor (or regenerator) is composed of an essentially cylindrical enclosure 2 containing CO combustion sections, oxychlorination sections O and CA calcining sections. The enclosure may be in the form of a cylinder with a vertical axis, the cylinder being closed at its ends. The combustion CO, oxychlorination O and CA calcining sections are superimposed in the reactor 1. In the reactor 1, these sections may be of the same diameter or of different diameters. In FIG. 1, the regenerator 1 comprises two regeneration zones extending along the vertical axis from the top to the bottom of the reactor which are configured to regenerate two types of catalyst of different composition and simultaneously. The catalysts to be regenerated are introduced at the top of the reactor 1 by one or more conduits 3 and 3 'communicating respectively in the reservoirs 4 and 4' so that the catalysts of different composition contained in said reservoirs are not mixed inside. regenerator. The catalysts after passing through the regeneration section are discharged from the reactor 1 through the conduits 5 and 5 'located at the bottom of the reactor 1. Under the effect of gravity, the catalysts flow up and down in the reactor through the zone regeneration which successively comprises the combustion CO, oxychlorination O and CA calcination sections. The catalysts are in the form of a solid grain, for example in the form of a ball having between 0.5 and 20 mm in diameter in order to facilitate their circulation in the reactor 1. The catalyst grains are composed of a porous support, for example a alumina, on which various compounds have been deposited, in particular platinum and chlorine, and optionally tin, rhenium, indium and / or phosphorus. The catalysts to be regenerated also comprise coke, for example about 5% by weight of coke. The catalysts of different composition introduced respectively by the ducts 3 and 3 'into the reactor 1 arrive in tanks 4 and 4' which make it possible to supply the combustion sections CO of the regenerator with catalysts. The tanks 4 and 4 'are separated from each other by a separating means 6, for example a metal plate. The plate 6 may be solid or perforated provided that the openings are smaller than the minimum distance measured between two opposite points of the catalyst grain so that the catalysts can not pass through said plate 6. In the example of FIG. Figure 1, the regenerator contains for each regeneration zone 5 a CO combustion section for carrying out the combustion of the coke deposited on the catalysts. A combustion section CO may comprise one or more stages. The reactor 1 of FIG. 1 comprises two stages Z1 and Z2 of identical design. According to a particular embodiment, the combustion section CO may further comprise a combustion control zone, for example as described by the document FR 2761907.
    [0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the two different composition catalysts contained in the tanks 4,4 'flow gravitarily into the respective CO combustion sections by means of one or more transfer legs 7 and 7'. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the two catalysts of different composition are introduced and confined respectively in combustion zones 8 and 8 'of stage Z1. The zones 8, 8 ', 15 of semi-annular shape are delimited by two gas-permeable cylindrical sieves 9, 9' and sealed to the catalysts. For example, the screens 9 and 9 'can take the form of a grid or a perforated plate. The grid may be a grid of Johnson type well known to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the shape of the zones 8, 8 'is not necessarily semicircular, it can be in U.
    [0014] With reference to FIG. 2 which shows a sectional view along a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of the gravity flow regenerator of catalysts of FIG. 1, at the level of the combustion section CO, it is observed that the annular space 30, common to the combustion sections, is delimited by the two sieves 9 and 9 'permeable to gas and sealed to the catalysts. The screens 9 and 9 'are arranged concentrically.
    [0015] The annular space 30 is further divided into two semi-annular zones (or compartments) 8 and 8 'whose volumes are substantially equal by means of a catalyst-tight separation means 34. The separating means 34 which extends over the entire height of the annular space 30 may be, for example, a solid plate, or possibly a perforated plate whose orifices are smaller than the smallest dimension of the catalysts. The semi-annular zones (or compartments) 8 and 8 'are designed to contain respectively catalysts of different composition without there being a mixture between the two types of catalysts. As indicated in FIG. 2, the semi-annular zones (or compartments) 8 and 8 'are respectively connected to at least one supply duct 7 and 7' allowing the introduction of the catalysts of different composition into each of said zones ( or compartments). The central spaces 12 and 12 ', 30254389 located between the separation means 34 and the inner screen 9', are spaces for collecting the combustion gas. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the separating means 34 is integral with the enclosure 2. This embodiment is advantageous when using two combustion gases of different composition which are specific for treating the catalysts contained in FIG. the semi-annular zones 8 and 8 ', which can thus be recovered without mixing in the gas collection spaces 12 and 12'. Alternatively, the separation means 34 is not attached to the enclosure 2. This embodiment is advantageous when it is not necessary to use combustion gases 10 of different composition to burn the coke deposited on the catalysts of different composition contained in the zones (or compartments) 8 and 8 '. Alternatively and as indicated in FIG. 2, the separation means 34 (indicated in dashed line) is not necessarily arranged so as to pass through the center of the enclosure 2, but its position can be offset with respect to the center of the enclosure. separating the annular space 30 into two ring portions of different volumes. According to another embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the separation means comprises two plates passing through the annular space 30 and having a length equal to the radius of the enclosure 2. The separation plates 34 are integral at one end with the enclosure 2 and to each other by their other end. This embodiment is advantageous because, depending on the angle formed by the separating means 34 relative to each other, it is possible to divide the annular space 30 into ring portions of one another. different angles and therefore different volumes. In the example described with reference to FIG. 3, the annular space 30 is divided into two zones (or compartments) 8 and 8 'whose volumes correspond respectively to 3/4 and 1/4 of the total volume of the space ring 30.
    [0016] As indicated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the combustion section CO of each of the regeneration zones comprises at least one combustion gas injection means 17, 17 '. This embodiment is advantageous because it not only makes it possible to regulate the gas flow rates in the various combustion zones as a function of the gravitational flow rate of the catalyst, but also to use gases of different composition depending on the quantity of coke deposited on the catalysts. With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the combustion section of each of the regeneration zones further comprises at least one means for evacuating the combustion gas 19 and 19 '. Preferably and in the case where it is desired to implement different combustion operating conditions (temperature, gas flow rate, composition of the flue gas) to regenerate the catalysts in the combustion sections, the separation means is not only waterproof to the catalysts but also gas tight. FIG. 4 shows another alternative embodiment of the CO combustion sections of the regeneration zones which differs from that of FIGS. 1 to 3 in that each combustion zone CO is completely independent of one another and configured to contain catalysts of different composition. Each zone (or compartment) of combustion 8 and 8 'respectively comprises an annular space 30 and 30' delimited by two grids 9 and 9 'of cylindrical shape and arranged concentrically. Each internal space 12 circumscribed by the internal grid 9 'serves as a collection space for the combustion gas which passes through the annular space 30 and 30'. The combustion zones (or compartments) 8, 8 'are also equipped with at least one inlet means for the catalyst 7. The combustion section CO also comprises at least one means 17 and 17' for supplying the combustion gas. combustion and at least flue gas discharge means 19 and 19 '. This embodiment is advantageous when it is not necessary to employ a combustion gas of different composition to treat the catalysts contained in the combustion zones 8 and 8 '. According to an alternative embodiment also shown in FIG. 4, the combustion zones 8, 8 'are delimited by a separation means 34, for example a solid plate, which is secured at both ends to the enclosure 2. This embodiment is advantageous when combustion gases of different nature and / or operating conditions are used to specifically treat the catalysts contained in the combustion zones 8 and 8 '. With reference to FIG. 1, the space between the external grid 9 and the enclosure 2 is closed at its lower end by a plate 11. The central space circumscribed by the internal grid 9 '25 is optionally closed at its end. The catalysts contained in the zones (or compartments) 8 and 8 'are respectively transferred by gravity into combustion zones (or compartments) 14 and 14' of the stage Z2 via the supply ducts. and 15 '. The zones (or compartments) 14 and 14 'are preferably designed in the same manner as the zones (or compartments) 8 and 8' of the stage Z1. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the zones (or compartments) 14 and 14 'are formed by an annular space delimited by two gas-permeable and catalytically impermeable screens 16 and 16', for example grids or two plates. perforated, preferably tubular cylindrical and arranged concentrically. The annular space 30 is further divided into two semi-annular zones (or compartments) 14 and 14 'whose volumes are substantially equal by means of a catalyst-tight separation means 34.
    [0017] In operation, a first flow of combustion gas containing oxygen is introduced into the chamber 2 at the top of the stage Z1 by means 17 and 17 'for supplying the combustion gas. In the stage Z1, the flow of gas flows along the arrows indicated in FIG. 1, crossing the catalyst beds contained in the combustion zones (or compartments) 8 and 8 '. Indeed, the sealed plates 13 and 11 force the combustion gas arriving through the orifice to pass on the periphery of the zones (or compartments) 8 and 8 'in the central collection spaces 12 and 12' through the catalyst beds contained in the cylindrical spaces 8 and 8 '. A second flow of oxygen-containing combustion gas is introduced between stage Z1 and Z2 via line 18. This second stream mixes with the first gas stream having passed through stage Z1. In the same way for stage Z2, the combustion gas passes through the catalyst beds contained in spaces 14 and 14 ', according to the arrows indicated in FIG. 1. After passing through the catalyst beds confined in spaces 14 and 14 ', the flue gas is collected in the collection spaces and is removed from the floor Z2 by the ducts 19 and 19'. As indicated in FIG. 1, in the configuration where the combustion zone contains two combustion stages Z1 and Z2, the regenerator further comprises an intermediate means 10 for evacuating the combustion gas arranged between said stages. The combustion gas withdrawn by the intermediate discharge means 10 is cooled by a gas containing fresh oxygen and then reintroduced into the regenerator via the conduit 18.
    [0018] According to another embodiment, the combustion section CO may be arranged in such a way that the flue gas flows from the inside out through the zones (or compartments) 8, 8 ', 14 and 14 . Alternatively, the combustion sections CO can be arranged so that the movement of the gas is injected at the bottom of said sections and is discharged at the head of said sections.
    [0019] With reference to FIG. 1, the catalysts of different composition contained in the combustion zones (or compartments) 14 and 14 'of the stage Z2 flow into the oxychlorination sections O via the conduits 20 and 20'. A gas-tight plate 21 is advantageously arranged between the combustion and oxychlorination sections O to prevent the flow of gas between these two sections.
    [0020] The oxychlorination sections O of the regeneration zones have the function of reloading the chlorine catalyst grains and re-dispersing the active metal on its surface in order to improve the distribution of said metal in the catalyst grains. In each oxychlorination section O, the catalysts flow into respective zones (or compartments) 22 and 22 'internal to the reactor. The zones (or compartments) 22 and 22 'are separated by a catalyst-sealed separating means 23 thus forming two oxychlorination compartments 30 to treat separately the catalysts of different composition. As shown in FIG. 1, the bottom of each oxychlorination compartment 22 and 22 'is provided with at least one conduit 24 and 24' which makes it possible to inject the oxychlorination gas into the oxychlorination compartments 22 and 22. ' respectively. Alternatively, the reactor may comprise a gas injection means common to the compartments 22 and 22 'for introducing the oxychlorination gas. The oxychlorination gas comprises a chlorinated compound and may be at a temperature of between 350 ° C and 550 ° C, preferably between 460 ° C and 530 ° C. At the top of each of the oxychlorination compartments 22 and 22 'is arranged at least one conduit 25 for discharging the oxychlorination gas from the oxychlorination sections O. The oxychlorination gas injected through the conduits 24 and 24' circulates in an upward direction through the oxychlorination compartments 22 and 22 'countercurrently to the gravity flow of the catalyst particles and is discharged from the chamber 2 via line 25. It should be emphasized that oxychlorination which are introduced through the ducts 24 and 24 'may be of the same composition or of different composition and their flow rates.
    [0021] The different composition catalysts at the bottom of the oxychlorination compartments 22 and 22 'continue to flow into the respective CA calcining sections which also comprise a calcining compartment 26, 26'. The calcining compartments 26 and 26 'are separated from each other by a catalyst-sealed separation means 27. The purpose of the calcining section CA is, in particular, to dry the catalyst particles. The calcining compartments 26 and 26 'of the calcining section CA are provided with conduits 28 and 28' for injecting a calcination gas. The calcination gas is generally air or oxygen-depleted air and may be at a temperature between 400 ° C and 550 ° C. The calcination gases which are introduced through the ducts 28 and 28 'can be of the same composition or of different composition as well as their flow rates. In order to homogeneously distribute the calcination gas in the catalyst bed of the compartments 26 and 26 ', the ducts 28 and 28' can open respectively into a space 29 and 29 'disposed at the periphery of the enclosure 2. The spaces 29 and 29 'are open in their lower part located at the bottom of the compartments of the calcining section CA so that the gas injected through the conduits 28 and 28' is distributed in the catalyst beds over the entire periphery from the bottom of the compartments. 26 and 26 '. The injected calcination gas thus flows in an upward direction, countercurrent to the gravity flow of the catalyst, through the compartments 26 and 26 'and then through the compartments 22 and 22' by mixing with the oxychlorination gas and is evacuated from the enclosure 2 by the conduit 25.
    [0022] Alternatively, the calcining gas can be directly removed from the calcining compartments 26 and 26 without encountering the oxychlorination section. Alternatively, the calcination gas leaving each of the zones can be remixed before being redistributed in each of the zones (or compartments) of oxychlorination 22 and 22 '. It is also possible to provide a mixing section between the oxychlorination section and the calcination section. The mixing section comprises for example a distributor plate designed to perform a homogeneous mixture of the calcination gas with the oxychlorination gas and to distribute the gas mixture homogeneously. FIG. 5 is a detailed perspective view of the mixing section arranged between the oxychlorination and calcination sections of the regenerator according to the invention.
    [0023] With reference to FIG. 5, the mixing section 60 is positioned between the bottom of the oxychlorination sections O and the top of the calcining sections CA. The mixing section 60 is covered by a plate 61. The plate 61 is a plate that does not allow the catalyst particles to pass. For example, the plate 61 is a solid disk of section equal to the section of the chamber 2. Alternatively, the plate 61 may be corrugated, for example by forming cones or funnels around the tubes 62 described below. The plate 61 is traversed by several tubes 62 which allow the flow of the catalyst particles from the oxychlorination section O to the calcining section CA. The tubes 62 extend under the plate 61 over a height H. The number, position, section and / or height H of the tubes 62 are determined to ensure the flow of the catalyst flow between the oxychlorination sections O and CA calcination. The mixing section 60 is further divided into two spaces or compartments 64 and 64 'by a separating means 63, for example a gas-tight plate 63, which extends over the height H of said mixing section 60. As shown in FIG. 5, the separating means 63 is positioned in line with the separating means 23 and 27 which respectively separate the oxychlorination O and calcination CA sections into two compartments. The plate 61 associated with the tubes 62 and the plate 63 makes it possible to define two mixing spaces 64 and 64 '. The mixing spaces 64 and 64 'extend over the height H of the tubes 62. Indeed, the plate 61 associated with the tubes 62 makes it possible to avoid the presence of catalyst in the mixing spaces 64 and 64' under the plate 61 on the height H. The tubes 62 may be substantially vertical. For example, the axes of the tubes 62 form an angle between 0 ° and 15 ° relative to the vertical direction. The ducts 24 and 24 'opening through the chamber 2 into the compartments 64 and 64' of the mixing section 60 make it possible to introduce the oxychlorination gas into the said compartments 64 and 64 '. The lower part of the compartments 64 and 64 'allows the passage of gas. For example, the lower part is open. Thus, the calcination gas flowing in a vertical upward direction in the compartments 26 and 26 'of the calcining section CA opens into the mixing section 60 so as to mix the calcination gas with the oxychlorination gas in the mixing section 60 which is free of catalyst grain, which makes it possible to obtain a good mixture of the gases. In addition, the ducts 24 and 24 'may constitute a lateral gas inlet in the mixing section 60, that is, the ducts 24 and 24' may be horizontal and pass through the enclosure 2. The injecting the oxychlorination gas laterally through the horizontal conduits 24 and 24 'further improves the mixing with the cross-flow calcination gas with respect to the oxychlorination gas injected horizontally through the conduits 24 and 24'. Alternatively, a gas-permeable plate 66 may be provided on the lower surface of the mixing section 60. The plate 66, for example a grid or a perforated plate, permits the passage of calcination gas from the calcination section into the In this case, the tubes 62 pass through the plate 66 to create a passage of the catalyst grains communicating between the oxychlorination O and CA calcination sections. The perforated grid or plate allows the calcination gas to be introduced at high speed without entrainment of solid particles from the catalyst bed of the calcining section into the mixing section. In addition, the plate 66 can reinforce the mechanical strength of the plate 61 by securing the tubes 62, on the one hand, to the plate 66 and, on the other hand, to the plate 61. As shown in FIG. 5, the plate 61 comprises a plurality of orifices 67 which allow passage of the gas mixture from the mixing section 60 into the oxychlorination section O. The orifices are dimensioned to allow passage of gas while avoiding passage of catalyst particles. The multiplication of the gas injection points through the orifices 67 on the reactor section allows an excellent distribution of the gas mixture over the entire section of the reactor. For example, the orifices 67 may be provided with a device commonly called "bubble cap" or any other system allowing the passage of gas and not catalyst grains. Alternatively, it is possible to use a solution of the mixing box type of the document FR 2993794.
    [0024] In the context of the invention, the regenerator can of course comprise more than two regeneration zones thus making it possible to regenerate separately in each of said zones a catalyst of different composition. A catalytic reforming process employing a regenerator according to the invention is described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 6. The process of FIG. 6 is called "in continuous catalyst regeneration" (CCR, Continuous Catalytic Reforming). according to the English terminology) which implies that the reaction is carried out in reaction sections in which the catalyst continuously flows from top to bottom and the regeneration is carried out continuously in an auxiliary reactor and the catalyst is recycled in the reaction sections So as not to interrupt the reaction. The reforming unit 40 comprises at least first and second reaction sections 41 and 42. In FIG. 6, each reaction section 41 and 42 is composed of two side-by-side series moving catalyst bed reactors. More precisely, the first reaction section 41 comprises two mobile bed reforming reactors 43 and 43 ', transfer means (not shown in FIG. 6) of the effluent from the bottom of the reactor 43 to the reactor head 43', transfer means (not shown in Figure 6) of the effluent from the bottom of the reactor 43 'to the second reaction section 42 and transfer means 45 of the catalyst collected at the bottom of the reactor 43 to the top of the reactor 43'.
    [0025] Similarly, the second reaction section 42 comprises two moving-bed reforming reactors 44 and 44 ', transfer means (not shown in FIG. 6) of the effluent from the bottom of the reactor 44 to the reactor head 44'. and transfer means 46 of the catalyst collected at the bottom of the reactor 44 to the top of the reactor 44 '. In accordance with the invention, the first reaction section 41 uses a specific catalyst of different composition than the catalyst used in the second reaction section 42. Each of the reaction sections 41 and 42 also comprises transfer means 49 and 51 of the catalyst collected at the outlet of the last reactor of each of the reaction sections to a regenerator 1 according to the invention which is able to regenerate at the same time and separately the catalysts employed in the reaction sections. As indicated in FIG. 6, a hydrocarbon feedstock containing pre-heated paraffinic compounds and naphthenes is sent via line 47 with hydrogen at the top of the reactor 43 of the first reaction section 41. A first type of catalyst stored in an upper hopper 48 is introduced at the top of the reactor 43 from where it flows by gravity and leaves the bottom. The hydrocarbon feedstock is thus brought into contact with the catalyst of the moving bed in order to produce a first reaction effluent which is withdrawn at the bottom of the first reactor 43. The catalyst and the first optionally heated effluent from the first reactor 43 are then sent to the reactor. head of the second reactor 43 'in which they flow in a downward movement. The first effluent is thus re-contacted with the first type of catalyst to produce a second effluent which is withdrawn from the bottom of said second reactor 43 '. As for the first type of catalyst which is recovered at the bottom of the second reactor 43 ', it is sent into a storage hopper 53 at the top of the regenerator 1 by a transfer means 49, for example a lift device. The first catalyst is then regenerated in the regenerator 1 from which it is withdrawn and returned via the line 50 in the hopper 48 located above the first reactor 43. The second effluent from the second reactor 43 'of the first reaction section 41 is sent to the top of the first reactor 44 of the second reaction section 42 where it is contacted with a second type of catalyst contained in a gravity flowable bed to produce a third effluent. The third effluent withdrawn from the bottom of the reactor 44 is returned to the top of the second reactor 44 'of the second reaction section 42 by the transfer means (not shown in FIG. 6). The catalyst collected at the outlet of the bottom of the reactor 44 is conveyed at the top of the reactor 44 'by the transfer means 46 (for example a lift) and is brought into contact with the third effluent in order to produce a reformate which is drawn off in the bottom the second reactor 44 'of the second reaction section 42. The catalyst which flows by gravity from the reactor 44' is charged via line 51 into a hopper 53 'located at the top of the regenerator 1. The second type of catalyst is regenerated in the regenerator 1 and then sent, via the line 52, into a hopper 54 arranged above the first reactor 44 of the second reaction section 42. The hoppers 53 and 53 'for storing used catalysts can be replaced by a hopper unique having two storage compartments separated by a wall tight to the catalysts. Similarly, the storage hoppers 48 and 54 of the regenerated catalysts can be substituted by a single hopper with compartments separated by a catalyst-tight wall capable of containing the catalysts of both types.
    [0026] According to an alternative embodiment, the process according to the invention uses in each reaction section a reactor in which the catalytic beds are stacked vertically. According to another alternative, it is also possible to arrange the first and second reaction zones in a vertical configuration in a reactor with the first reaction zone 41 which is situated above the second reaction zone 42. Preferably, the one or more Mobile beds of the reaction zones are of the radial moving bed type in which the hydrocarbon feed circulates through the catalytic bed in a radial flow from the outer periphery of the bed to the center of the reactor which comprises a central effluent collector.
    [0027] By way of example, the reaction sections are operated under the following operating conditions: an average input temperature in the reaction section of between 470 and 570 ° C .; A pressure of between 0.3 and 1.5 MPa; a ratio (mass flow rate of charge / mass quantity of catalyst) of between 1 and 10 h -1; an H 2 / hydrocarbon molar ratio of between 0.8 and 8; In the context of the invention the process may comprise more than two reaction sections which each operate with catalysts of different composition. For example, the process may employ three or four reaction sections in series. The process exemplified in Figure 6 involves two moving catalyst beds per reaction section. However, it is of course possible to employ one or more moving catalyst beds per reaction section. The hydrocarbon feedstock is generally a hydrocarbon fraction of the naphtha type rich in paraffinic and naphthenic compounds and relatively low in aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. The filler preferably has a distillation range of from 50 ° C to 250 ° C. A naphtha feedstock which can be processed by the process is for example derived from the atmospheric distillation of crude oil or a condensate of natural gas. The process according to the invention is also applicable to heavy naphthas produced by a catalytic cracking (FCC), coking or hydrocracking unit or even steam-cracking gasoline. 25
