1. An alkylation process unit, comprising:
- a) a hydrogenation reactor (100), wherein a used catalyst (70) comprising an ionic liquid catalyst and a chloride produces a regenerated catalyst effluent (10);
b) a fractionation unit (200) fluidly connected to the hydrogenation reactor (100), that separates at least a portion of the regenerated catalyst effluent (10) into a gas fraction comprising a hydrogen gas (20) and into a light hydrocarbon fraction comprising a hydrogen chloride (30);
c) a first connection between the fractionation unit (200) and the hydrogenation reactor (100) for transmitting at least a part of the gas fraction to the hydrogenation reactor (100); and
d) a second connection between the fractionation unit (200) and an alkylation reactor (300) to transmit at least an amount of the light hydrocarbon fraction to the alkylation reactor (300).

Abstract
We provide alkylation process units, one comprising:
- a) a hydrogenation reactor that produces a regenerated catalyst effluent;
- b) a fractionation unit that separates the effluent into gas and light hydrocarbon;
- c) a connection between the fractionation unit for transmitting the gas to the hydrogenation reactor; and
- d) a connection between the fractionation unit and an alkylation reactor to transmit the light hydrocarbon to the alkylation reactor. The other comprising:
- a) a separator, connected between the hydrogenation reactor and a fractionation unit; that separates the effluent into gas and liquid; and wherein the fractionation unit separates a hydrocarbon stream from the liquid into a light hydrocarbon comprising a hydrogen chloride and an extracted conjunct polymer naphtha;
- b) a connection between the separator and the hydrogenation reactor for transmitting the gas to the hydrogenation reactor; and
- c) a connection between the fractionation unit and an alkylation reactor to transmit the light hydrocarbon.

6. An alkylation process unit, comprising:
-
a) a hydrogenation reactor (100), wherein a used catalyst (70) comprising an ionic liquid catalyst and a chloride produces a regenerated catalyst effluent (10); b) a separator (400), fluidly connected to the hydrogenation reactor (100) and a fractionation unit (200);
wherein the separator (400) separates the regenerated catalyst effluent (10) into a gas fraction comprising a hydrogen gas (20) and into a separated liquid (85); and
wherein the fractionation unit (200) separates a hydrocarbon stream (52) from the separated liquid (85) into a light hydrocarbon fraction comprising a hydrogen chloride and an extracted conjunct polymer naphtha (45);c) a first connection between the separator and the hydrogenation reactor (100) for transmitting at least a part of the gas fraction to the hydrogenation reactor (100); and d) a second connection between the fractionation unit (200) and an alkylation reactor (300) to transmit at least an amount of the light hydrocarbon fraction to the alkylation reactor (300). - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
