A process for the isomerization of C4-C6 paraffins that separates a low boiling or overhead fraction from a stabilizer in a stripping zone and provides a low RVP isomerization product and simplifies the recovery of LPG components. The process also lowers energy costs and capital investment for recovery of LPG components that are otherwise lost with the production of low RVP isomerization products. When used with a chloride promoted catalyst, the arrangement of this invention permits recovery of a low RVP isomerate product while reducing or eliminating corrosion problems associated with a condensation of overhead products to produce stream containing liquid HCl.
