ABSTRACT:
Normal paraffins are separated from a hydrocarbon vapor feedstream having 10 to 25 carbon atoms per molecule in a constant pressure process employing a molecular sieve adsorbent and n-hexane for purging and for dilution of gas oil - containing feedstocks. A portion of the countercurrent, desorption purge effluent is employed as a hexane - containing cocurrent purge stream, thereby significantly reducing the required amount of n-hexane purge recycle material, and the size of the equipment and the energy consumed in the processing of said recycle stream. A portion of said countercurrent purge effluent can also be used to provide a source of n-hexane diluent for the gas oil - containing feedstocks, as can the cocurrent purge effluent, resulting in further reduction in required equipment and energy costs, and increasing adsorption efficiency and adsorbent utilization.
