When the maximum operating temperature of at least the downstream reactor (25) is attained, naphtha is diverted therefrom to a substitute reactor (40) containing active reforming catalyst, and naphtha-reforming operation is continued until the operating temperature of at least the substitute reactor (40) has been attained. The naphtha-reforming process is thereupon interrupted and catalyst in all reactors (18, 22, 25, 40) is regenerated. Thereafter, the naphtha-reforming process is restarted employing the original downstream reactor (25) in place of the substitute reactor (40). The regeneration-time is a reduced proportion of the naphtha-reforming time compared to the proportion for prior processes and apparatus.
