Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process and apparatus are disclosed for hydrotreating a hydrocarbon feed in a hydrotreating unit and hydrocracking a second hydrocarbon stream in a hydrocracking unit. The hydrocracking unit and the hydrotreating unit may share the same recycle gas compressor. A make-up hydrogen stream may also be compressed in the recycle gas compressor. The second hydrocarbon stream may be a diesel stream from the hydrotreating unit. The diesel stream may be a diesel and heavier stream from a bottom of a hydrotreating fractionation column.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for producing diesel from a hydrocarbon stream comprising: a hydrotreating reactor for hydrotreating a hydrocarbon stream in the presence of a hydrotreating hydrogen stream and hydrotreating catalyst to provide a hydrotreating effluent stream; a hydrotreating separator in communication with said hydrotreating reactor for separating the hydrotreating effluent stream into a vaporous hydrotreating effluent stream comprising hydrogen and a l…
