A process for generating aromatics from a hydrocarbon feedstream is disclosed. The process includes the steps of (a) passing the hydrocarbon feedstream to a reformer, wherein the reformer is operated at a temperature greater than 540°C; and (b) reforming the hydrocarbon feedstream to aromatics in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the catalyst comprises (i) a refractory inorganic oxide support, (ii) a platinum group metal, (iii) a Group IVA metal, (iv) a third metal selected from alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, and (v) a halogen. |
