ABSTRACT:
Four adsorbers 1 to 4, each operating in a cycle comprising (described for adsorber 2): an adsorption step 1 wherein a feed from adsorber 2 is circulated to adsorber 2; an adsorption step 2 wherein feed is injected to the bottom of adsorber 2 and a product rich in isoparaffins is recovered from the head of adsorber 2; an adsorption step 3 wherein a portion of the fluid leaving adsorber 2 is sent to adsorber 3; an adsorption step 4 wherein the head of adsorber 2 receiving the feed is connected to the bottom of adsorber 3; a first depressurisation step 5 wherein adsorber 2 at high pressure is connected to adsorber 4 at a lower pressure; a second depressurisation step 6 wherein the head of adsorber 2 is closed; a stripping step 7 wherein the bottom of adsorber 2, which receives desorbent overhead, is connected to the top of adsorber 2; two principal stripping steps 8 and 9 wherein adsorber 2 alone is supplied with desorbent; a stripping finishing step 10 wherein adsorber 2 is continued to be supplied with desorbent and the outlet from the adsorber 2 is connected to adsorber 3; a first pressurisation step 11 to an intermediate pressure wherein the bottoms of adsorbers 2 and 4 are connected together; and a second pressurisation step 12 wherein a stream providing a portion of the effluent from adsorber 1 is introduced into the bottom of adsorber 2.
