A process for hydroprocessing a sustainable feedstock is disclosed. The process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocracking feed stream comprising greater than 90% paraffins in a hydrocracking reactor in the presence of hydrogen over a hydrocracking catalyst comprising one or more Group VIII metal and/or Group VIB to provide a hydrocracked stream. The hydrocracking reactor is operated at a temperature of about 290° C. (550° F.) to about 450° C. (842° F.) and a pressure of about 2.7 MPa (gauge) (400 psig) to about 20.7 MPa (gauge) (3000 psig). The hydrocracked stream is hydroisomerized in a hydroisomerization reactor in the presence of hydrogen over a hydroisomerization catalyst to provide a hydroisomerized stream. The hydroisomerized stream is separated to provide a jet fuel stream, a diesel stream, and an unconverted oil stream.
