Abstract: Processes and apparatuses for providing a high purity hydrogen stream by removing hydrocarbons with a thermal swing adsorption process. An adsorbent is used to remove the hydrocarbons and provide a product stream that is an enriched hydrogen stream. A portion of the product stream is heated and used as a purge stream to desorb the hydrocarbons from the adsorbent. A contaminated stream including hydrogen and the hydrocarbons is cooled and separated in a gaseous stream and a liquid steam. The vapor stream is mixed with the feed stream. A blower may be used with the vapor stream.

Abstract: Processes and apparatuses for producing para-xylenes are provided. The processes comprises providing a reformate stream comprising aromatic hydrocarbons to a reformate splitter to provide a reformate bottoms stream and a reformate overhead stream. A portion of the reformate bottoms stream is passed to a para-xylene separation unit for separating para-xylene, wherein the portion of the reformate bottoms stream is passed to the para-xylene separation unit without an intermediate step for removal of olefins.
