Disclosed is a process for the regeneration of an adsorber (A1). The adsorber (A1) is regenerated by contact with a gaseous stream (S2) and the outflow of the adsorber (A1) comprising condensate of stream (S2) and organic composition (OC1) collected in a device. After regeneration of the adsorber (A1) the stream (S2) in the adsorber (A1) is replaced completely or at least partially by the content of the device. Then the adsorber (A1) is fed with organic composition comprising at least one olefin, at least one alkane and at least one compound containing oxygen and/or sulfur.
