Abstract

A process flow for hydrogen-producing processes such as reforming or dehydrocyclodimerization is disclosed. A portion of a C.sub.3 or C.sub.4 feed stream is flashed to provide reflux cooling for a product recovery fractionation column. The cool overhead of this column and a second portion of the feed stream are used to cool the still uncondensed portion of the partially condensed reaction zone effluent stream prior to passage of this uncondensed material into a final low temperature separation stage. A second feature is the reboiling of a fractionation column with hot compressed gas to perform interstage cooling in the product recovery compression section.
