Patent ID: 11015132

Abstract:
A process including (a) directing a hydrocarbon mixture to contact a material catalytically active in hydrocracking under hydrocracking conditions, (b) providing a first hydrocracked product, (c) directing an amount of the first hydrocracked product and an amount of a converted hydrocracked product to a product separation step separating it into one or more products and a recycle oil having a higher boiling point than the products, (d) directing the recycle oil to contact a second material catalytically active in hydrocracking under hydrocracking conditions providing a second hydrocracked product, (e) directing at least an amount of the second hydrocracked product as feed to a second separation step, separating the second hydrocracked product in at least two fractions, a converted hydrocracked product and an unconverted oil an unconverted oil having a higher average boiling point than the recycle oil, (f) withdrawing at least an amount of the unconverted oil as purge.
