A METHOD FOR PRODUCING ENHANCED YIELDS OF HIGH OCTANE HYDROGEN IN WHICH A NAPHTHENIC HYDROCARBON FRACTION IS CHARGED IN SERIES TO A PLURALITY OF REACTION ZONES EACH CONTAUNUNG A BED OF SUPPORTED PLATINUM CATALYST AND MAINTAINED AT HYDROGEN C/NVERSION CONDITIONS WHICH COMPRISES ADDIING A NORMALPARAFFIN IN A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT WITHIN THE RANGE FROM ABOUT 10 TO ABOUT 60, BY VOLUME OF THE NAPHTHENIC HYDROCARBON TO THE NAPHTHENIC HYDROCARBON FEED TO THE LEAD REACTION ZONE OF SAID PLURALITY OF ZONES AND ADDING AN ISOOLEFIN IN A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT WITHIN THE RANGE FROM ABOUT 10 TO ABOUT 60% BY VOLUME OF THE NAPHTHENIC HYDROCARBON TO THE CONVERTED HYDROCARBON CHARGED TO THE RAIL REACTION ZONE OF SAID PLURALITY OF ZONES SUCH THAT THE NORMAL PARAFFIN IS CONTACTED WITH THE CATALYST FOR A TIME WITHIN THE RANGE FROM ABOUT 10 TO ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND SUCH THAT THE ISOOLEFIN IS CONTACTED WITH THE CATALYST FOR A TIME WITHIN THE RANGE FROM ABOUT 2 TO ABOUT 5 SECONDS WHEREBY ENHANCED YIELDS OF HIGH OCTANE HYDROCARBONS ARE OBTAINED.
