In a regenerative reforming facility using a series of moving beds, a
direct supply of regenerated catalyst, optionally reduced is passed into
at least two of the reactors of the series. Spent catalysts from
different reactors are passed into a common mixing apparatus so as to
provide a homogeneous degree of coke on the spent catalysts which are
thereafter passed to a regenerator. The feedstock and the intermediate
effluents continue to circulate in succession relative to the reactors.
The invention makes it possible in particular to reduce the operating
pressure of the units to less than 0.2 MPa.
