Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of methods and apparatuses for isomerization of paraffins are provided. In one example a method comprises the steps of separating an isomerization effluent into a product stream that comprises branched paraffins and a stabilizer vapor stream that comprises HC1 H and C hydrocarbons. C hydrocarbons are removed from the stabilizer overhead vapor stream to form a HC1 and H rich stream. An isomerization catalyst is activated using at least a portion of the HC1 and H rich stream to form a chloride promoted isomerization catalyst. A paraffin feed stream is contacted with the chloride promoted isomerization catalyst in the presence of hydrogen for isomerization of the paraffins.
