Abstract: A process for the regeneration of oxygenate containing adsorbents uses regenerant streams such as LPG and isomerate products for the desorption of oxygenate compounds. The process discloses arrangements for the integration of regenerant treatment into the adsorption scheme and for the enhancement of the isomerate product. The integrated flowscheme can be used to remove sulfur and water from contaminated regenerants or to deliver the oxygenates into the gasoline pool.
