Claim:
1. An apparatus for reforming of hydrocarbons including recovery of products, the apparatus comprising: a separation zone configured to receive and separate a reforming-zone effluent that comprises H a first compressor configured to receive and compress the net gas phase stream to form a compressed net gas phase stream; a first cooler configured to receive and partially condense and cool the compressed net gas phase stream to form a partially condensed, compressed net gas phase stream; a knockout drum configured to receive and separate the partially condensed, compressed net gas phase stream into an intermediate gas phase stream and a first intermediate liquid phase hydrocarbon stream; an absorption zone configured to receive and cool the intermediate gas phase stream and the liquid phase hydrocarbon stream to form a cooled intermediate gas phase stream and a cooled liquid phase hydrocarbon stream, respectively, wherein the absorption zone comprises an absorber that is configured for contacting the cooled intermediate gas phase stream with the cooled liquid phase hydrocarbon stream to extract C a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) zone containing an adsorbent for selectively separating H
