A process for the preparation of one or more hydrocarbon fuel products boiling in the kero/diesel range from a stream of hydrocarbons produced in a Fischer-Tropsch process, in which process synthesis gas is converted into liquid hydrocarbons, at least a part of the hydrocarbons boiling above the kero/diesel range, comprising the following steps:(1) hydrocracking/hydroisomerising at least a part of the Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbons stream at a conversion per pass of at most 80 wt% of the material boiling above 370 [deg.]C into material boiling below 370°C,(2) separating the product stream obtained in step (1) into one or more light fractions boiling below the kero/diesel boiling range, one or more fractions boiling in the kero/diesel boiling range and a heavy fraction boiling above the kero/diesel boiling range,(3) hydrocracking/hydroisomerising the major part of the heavy fraction obtained in step (2) at a conversion per pass of at most 80 wt% of the material boiling above 370 [deg.]C into material boiling below 370°C,(4) separating the product stream obtained in step (3) into one or more light fractions boiling below the kero/diesel boiling range, one or more fractions boiling in the kero/diesel boiling range and a heavy fraction boiling above the kero/diesel boiling range,(5) hydrocracking/hydroisomerising the major part of the heavy fraction obtained in step (4) in the hydrocracking/hydroisomerising process described in step (1) and/or step (3),in which process the Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbons stream comprises at least 35 wt% C+ (based on total amount of hydrocarbons in the Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbons stream) and in which stream the weight ratio C+/C+ is at least 0.2. |
