This invention is directed to a high conversion hydrocracking (HCR) unit to produce premium middle distillate fuel. Unconverted oil which is low in sulfur is fed to a Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit. The process results in reduced hydrogen consumption and optimum reactor capacity. Feed is hydrotreated and separated into liquid and vapor streams. The vapor stream is passed to further processing and light ends recovery. The liquid stream is passed to a vacuum distillation column, where it is separated into at least three streams, the first stream comprising low boiling products and light ends, a second, higher boiling stream comprising the feed to a second hydroprocessing zone and third stream comprising unconverted oil. The second stream is passed to the second hydroprocessing zone, producing effluents which boil in the distillate range. The second hydroprocessing zone is generally a fuels hydrocracking unit. |
