Abstract: A process for alkylating an isoparaffin with a lighter olefin and a heavier olefin by contacting the isoparaffin with the lighter olefin and a first alkylation catalyst in a first alkylation zone, contacting the hydrocarbon effluent from the first alkylation zone with the heavier olefin and a second alkylation catalyst in a second alkylation zone, and recovering the product of the process from the hydrocarbon effluent from the second alkylation zone.
