Claim:
1. An integrated slurry hydrocracking process comprising: introducing a heavy residual hydrocarbon feed and a hydrogen stream into a slurry hydrocracking zone; slurry hydrocracking the hydrocarbon feed in the presence of a slurry hydrocracking catalyst under slurry hydrocracking conditions to form a slurry hydrocracking effluent; separating the slurry hydrocracking effluent into a first liquid stream and a first vapor stream in a hot separator, separating the first vapor stream into a second liquid stream and a second vapor stream in a warm separator; introducing makeup hydrogen to a first end of a distillate hydrotreater; introducing at least a portion of the second vapor stream to the first end of the distillate hydrotreater; hydrotreating the at least the portion of the second vapor stream in the distillate hydrotreater under distillate hydrotreating conditions to form a hydrotreated effluent exiting the distillate hydrotreater at a second end opposite the first end; separating the hydrotreated effluent into a liquid stream and a gas stream containing hydrogen; recycling at least a portion of the gas stream containing the hydrogen to the slurry hydrocracking zone.
