Abstract
A VGO stream is initially hydrocracked in a hydrocracking reaction zone within an integrated hydroconversion process. Effluent from the hydrocracking reaction zone is combined with a light aromatic-containing feed stream, and the blended stream hydrotreated in a hydrotreating reaction zone. Heat exchange occurs between the hydrocracking reaction zone and the hydrotreating reaction zone, permitting the temperature control of the initial hydrocracking zone. The integrated reaction system provides a single hydrogen supply and recirculation system for use in two reaction processes.
