Abstract
Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for reforming of hydrocarbons including recovery of products are provided. In one example, a method comprises separating a reforming-zone effluent into a net gas phase stream and a liquid phase hydrocarbon stream. The net gas phase stream is separated for forming an H-rich stream and a first intermediate liquid phase hydrocarbon stream. The H-rich stream is contacted with an adsorbent to form an H-ultra rich stream and a PSA tail gas stream. The PSA tail gas stream and at least a portion of the liquid phase hydrocarbon stream are cooled and contacted with each other to form a H, Chydrocarbons-containing gas stream and a cooled second intermediate liquid phase hydrocarbon stream.
