This invention relates to an improved hydrotreating process for removing sulfur from naphtha and distillate feedstreams. This improved process utilizes a hydrotreating zone, an acid gas removal zone, and a pressure swing adsorption zone having a total cycle time of less than about 30 seconds for increasing the concentration of hydrogen utilized in the process.

1. A process for removing sulfur and other heteroatoms from a hydrocarbon feed, comprising: a) contacting the hydrocarbon feed in a hydrotreating zone with hydrogen and a catalytically effective amount of a hydrotreating catalyst under hydrotreating conditions thereby resulting in a hydrotreated product comprised of a liquid phase and a vapor phase containing hydrogen and light hydrocarbons;b) separating the liquid phase and the vapor phase from the hydrotreated product;c) removing light hydrocarbons from the vapor phase in a rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption unit containing a plurality of adsorbent beds and having a total cycle time of less than about 30 seconds and a pressure drop within each adsorbent bed of greater than about 5 inches of water per foot of bed length to produce a purified recycle gas with a higher concentration by vol % than the vapor phase; andd) recycling at least a portion of the purified recycle gas to the hydrotreating zone,wherein the removing step c) results in a recovery of a purified hydrogen-containing gas stream, relative to said hydrogen-containing make-up treat gas, said vapor phase product, or both, so as to exhibit (i) a rate of recovery (R %) greater than 80% for a product purity to feed ratio (P %/F %) greater than 1.1, (ii) a rate of recovery (R %) greater than 90% for a product purity to feed ratio (P %/F %) less than 1.1 but greater than 0, or (iii) both (i) and (ii). 2. The process of claim 1, wherein the hydrocarbon feed is selected from the group consisting of naphtha boiling range feeds, kerosene boiling range feeds, and distillate boiling range feeds. 3. The process of claim 2, wherein the hydrocarbon feed is a naphtha boiling range feed selected from the group consisting of straight run naphtha, cat cracked naphtha, coker naphtha, hydrocracker naphtha, and resid hydrotreater naphtha. 4. The process of claim 2, wherein the hydrocarbon feed is a distillate and higher boiling range feed selected from the group consisting of cycle oils produced from the Fluid Catalytic Cracker (FCC), atmospheric and vacuum gas oils, atmospheric and vacuum residua, pyrolysis gasoline, Fischer-Tropsch liquids and waxes, lube oils, and crudes. 5. The process of claim 2, wherein the total cycle time of rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption is less than about 15 seconds. 6. The process of claim 5, wherein the total cycle time is less than about 10 seconds and the pressure drop is greater than about 10 inches of water per foot of bed length. 7. The process of claim 6, wherein the total cycle time is less than about 5 seconds. 8. The process of claim 7, wherein the pressure drop of greater than about 20 inches of water per foot of bed length. 9. The process of claim 6, wherein the hydrotreating catalyst contains at least one of cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, platinum, tungsten, alumina, silica, silica-alumina, a zeolite, and a molecular sieve. 10. The process of claim 6, wherein the liquid phase is blended into a fuel product. 11. The process of claim 1, wherein the total cycle time is less than about 10 seconds and the pressure drop is greater than about 10 inches of water per foot of bed length. 12. The process of claim 11, wherein the cycle time is less than about 5 seconds and the pressure drop is greater than about 20 inches of water per foot of bed length. 13. The process of claim 1, wherein hydrogen sulfide and ammonia are removed from said vapor phase with a basic scrubbing solution prior to removing light hydrocarbons from the vapor phase in a rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption unit. 14. The process of claim 13, wherein the total cycle time is less than about 10 seconds and the pressure drop is greater than about 10 inches of water per foot of bed length. 15. The process of claim 14, wherein the total cycle time is less than about 5 seconds the pressure drop is greater than about 20 inches of water per foot of bed length. 16. The process of claim 1, wherein light hydrocarbons are removed from a hydrogen-containing make-up gas in a rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption unit containing a plurality of adsorbent beds and having a total cycle time of less than about 30 seconds and a pressure drop within each adsorbent bed of greater than about 5 inches of water per foot of bed length, to produce a purified make-up gas with a higher hydrogen concentration by vol % than the hydrogen-containing make-up gas, and at least a portion said hydrogen is comprised of at least a portion of said purified make-up gas. 17. The process of claim 16, wherein the hydrocarbon feed is selected from the group consisting of naphtha boiling range feeds, kerosene boiling range feeds, and distillate boiling range feeds. 18. The process of claim 17 wherein the total cycle time of rapid cycle pressure swing adsorption is less than about 10 seconds and the pressure drop in each adsorption bed is greater than about 10 inches of water per foot of bed length. 19. The process of claim 18 wherein the total cycle time is less than about 5 seconds and the pressure drop is greater than about 20 inches of water per foot of bed length.
