Abstract: The present disclosure provides assemblies for producing linear alpha olefins and methods for producing linear alpha olefins. In at least one embodiment, a method for forming a linear alpha olefin, includes providing an olefin, a catalyst, and a process solvent to a reactor; obtaining an effluent from the reactor; and transferring the effluent to a distillation tower comprising a dividing wall. In at least one embodiment, an assembly for producing linear alpha olefins includes a distillation tower comprising a dividing wall having a height that is from 25% to 95% of the height of the distillation tower. In at least one embodiment, a method for forming a linear alpha olefin comprises providing an olefin, a catalyst, and orthoxylene to a tubular reactor; obtaining an effluent from the tubular reactor; and transferring the effluent to a distillation tower.
