Abstract

A process for increasing a yield of an isomerization zone by removing at least a portion of the C6 cyclic hydrocarbons from a stream having iC4 hydrocarbons, iC5 hydrocarbons, and iC6 hydrocarbons prior to the stream being passed into the same isomerization zone. Suppression of the iC4 hydrocarbons does not occur, allowing the iC4 hydrocarbons to be isomerized in the same isomerization zone as the iC5 hydrocarbons and iC6 hydrocarbons.
