1. A process for the isomerization of normal heptane contained within a hydrocarbon stream comprising the steps of:

  • (a) concurrently;

    (i) contacting normal heptane contained in a hydrocarbon feed containing normal heptane and heavier material with an isomerization catalyst under conditions of temperature and pressure to isomerize normal heptane to branched heptane and (ii) separating the branched heptane from the normal heptane and heavier material by fractional distillation; and

    (b) withdrawing the branched heptane and the heavier material separately.
